Hell yeah as long as I don't get whitebeard in my first B3 game.

akuma has announced he will tank, it will be a mud fight for top 5 again in the Great 8.

I don't think they draw same countries against each other. Usually home court should be your victory, so you got to hope you get a very good away draw.

Do you know when they schedule the draw?

If I make it out of the group stages, then I will be a very happy chap.

The draw should come out with the off season update. Usually one of the last few priorities.

I have been there. You arrive with a team of old guys, a $1,000,000 debt, an arena that can't make you enough money to break even each week. You can fight, potentially go broke, achieve nothing and return to division II a shattered team having achieved nothing. Or you can make the strategic move, pull the plug, get some trainees, do that difficult early training, build your arena, make $5,000,000 over the season, if lucky get a $1,000,000 draft pick, find some awesome players while there is no pressure and tons of cash, then return to division II powerful and set up for seasons of success, do the bounce straight back and becone a long term ABBL team. Doesn't the choice seem obvious?

You make more money staying up in the ABBL, then trying to get to the ABBL.

But yeah it is really though for new maiden teams in the ABBL to stay up. The new teams won't know of the gap difference until they really experience it.

Its just not the starting 5 that counts, the backups make a helluva difference too. Then if you survive the 1st season, will you enough money to survive the 2nd and so on.

And then going that one extra step to challenge whitebeard for the championship who is on his way to a 5th consecutive ABBL title, forget about it!

Its no wonder many teams in the ABBL just remain mediocre and bid their time.
