Relegation Watch

Big 8
0.001 % Kyoto Shogun would have to lose all three games while Stunners won all three and then lose the relegation series against a bot. Not going to happen.
0.001% Stunners will certainly beat the bot kotets in a relegation series. Could even make 5th but VERY unlikely.
100% LANSON A bot. Very annoyed that new teams were created in the JBBL.
100% Mythical Man-Month. Last and automatic relegation. Spent the season training and tanking and will be very dngerous next season. Put a lot of work into getting the top draft pick I hope it is a good one for them.

Great 8
0.001% Kawaguti Werewolf would have to lose almost everything while Elandstraat 263 won almost everything. Not going to happen.
1% Elandstraat 263 should be very safe against LANSON the only danger would be if Stunners decided to drop to 7th to improve their draft position, then they would be in great danger. Unlikely.
100% Kotets bot gone.
99.999% Sharman Globetrotters would need to win all three last games and then a tough relegation series. Superfly Guy said he was tanking and tanked he has.

Every team except Sharman has logged in the last 2 days and even they were 4 days ago so there will be no bots besides Kotets and LANSON so there will just be the 4 relegators from the JBBL this season.

Nippon II.1

As Malice said there is a huge battle here with at least 4 quality teams fighting it out.

Big 8
Baikinman 17/2 +1104
aisteru.4ever 17/2 +1096

Great 8
Shikoku Otaku 19/0 +1157
NKRK 17/2 +982

All four teams are old and experinced.
Baikinman season 14
aisteru.4ever season 9 and been to the JBBL
Shikoku Otaku season 13 and made the finals twice before.
NKRK season 14 and made top 4 of the cup last season and the finals on 2/1 once.

They have good ratings
Baikinman #15
aisteru.4ever #16
Shikoku Otaku #14
NKRK #12

They have stars
Baikinman Takatoshi Tagawa 138k NT PG
aisteru.4ever Ed Schulz 80k PG
Shikoku Otaku Aharon Amikam 93k C
NKRK Ad O'Sullivan 31k SG

But looking at the rosters right now the Otaku have a much deeper squad and should take the title.

Nippon II.2

Not so many humans in this league. K-on is the only Big 8 and will be bot in a week or 2. That leaves the great 8 teams to battle it out. Just 3 teams there but all logged in the last day.

Okayama Chon
Umi says 15-4
Saitama Kobatons

Saitama Kobatons are a new team created this week so they are no threat.
Umi says have terrible players in terrible game shape.
Okayama Chon have been around since season 12 and have players like Edison Ulrich 126k PF. This is overkill. Short of some massive spending spree from Umi says they are the champions.

Nippon II.3

Just 1 human in this league Sashiogi Heaven who have 18-1 record and will win easily. Lucky guys have a season in the JBBL next season will be 2 from 3.

Nippon II.4

No humans. This will create 1 bot promotion this season.

Bot Promotion Watch

We found out that the tie breakers for this are conference winner, then best record. So to win the bot promotion you will need to not win the title, win your conference and have the best record of those that do.

Shikoku Otaku 19/0 +1157
Okayama Chon 18/1 +1129
Sashiogi Heaven 18/1 +255
Baikinman 17/2 +1104
aisteru.4ever 17/2 +1096
NKRK 17/2 +982

So if things go as expected this season and Otaku, Chon and Heaven win their league championshios the race will be between whichever of Baikinman or aisteru.4ever have the best regular season record. The wildcard would be if NKRK beat Otaku in the playoffs and then took the championship, or if one of Baikinman or aisteru.4ever could win the finals then Otaku would get the bot promotion.

Not.
Going.
To.
Happen.

Some BIZARRE acquisitions by I Am Legend - buying 2x $80+ k guys, and he's 5th with no shot of making the playoffs.
Weird purchases...

Or more likely incompetence. I remember last season or the season before someone in 7th or 8th in 2/1 buying up and spending a fortune because they were worried about relegation. Don't forget buying players now isn't so bad if you are 5th because you don't pay their salaries for 2 weeks. However prices would be much lower next week than now which is one of the 2 most expensive weeks to buy.
