Ripping through...
II.1 watch
G8's Challenger2 finally goes bot, with B8's NIKOBUKURO & Machida Bulls seemingly headed that way too (neither having logged on in 2 weeks). That means effectively 13 active teams in II.1. And with 10 active (altho' mugicha looks headed out) in II.2, that wraps it up for Japan's second division. No players in II.3 or lower.

Kyoto continues to be the team to beat, running out to a 8-0 lead. BBsTar mimicking that over on the Big 8, but Saturday sees Kyoto come to BBsTar, and I think Kyoto strolls into town and steals everything not nailed down: including the 'W'. The other interesting match-up on Saturday will be Baikinman playing host for Terry Bogard - again, I like the G8 guy to be the victor in that match too, in a G8#4 vs B8#2 slate.
Both leagues are tight, and the coming weeks are going to really separate the big from the lil'.

The Cup...
BBsTar faces off against II.2's 血受儿 - my money's on the II.1 guy!
Baikinman heads to div III bot Mamada Red Roses - again, put the win with II.1.
楽しい plays host for U21 coach's team Fire Country Trail Blazers - bye-bye 楽しい.
Kyoto has a tough match-up hosting JBBL's STO... I think the Shogun's reign ends here.
Shikoku heads to Yokozuna - Otaku done for the season.
Newly botted Challenger2 pulled div III bot - ugh... C2 to get through.
And Kanazawa head to Northern Kyushu in a battle of the Kings that I see the home-town Ramen boys winning.

I think i would lose the Kyoto game.This is my first lose of the season,maybe.
Even Kyoto is a strong team and our players are big difference with theirs,but i will try my best to play it. Because this is a live show on tv , so maybe will have effect on my incomes after seasons.GG.

In addition, OTAKU,NKR and Terry were strong. I'm really looking forward to the game with them.
Between the Western and the Eastern ,the Eastern is more powerful .So my record maybe just a illusion.Who knows ? After this months competition , everyone 's strength can be come out. GL.

Phenomenal win sir...

Never count out the Shogun!

Thanks, it was a phenonemal and unexpected win. What a dramatic finish with their SF Eugene Riddick getting repeated shots in the last few seconds but being unable to score and being blocked right at the basket. It was like Game 5 of the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals where New Yorks Charles Smith got blocked 4 times in the last 10 seconds by the Bulls.

As for the game against BBstAr that may well be an even bigger game. Keeping a perfect record this season may well benefit everyone but I'll bet BBstAr will be throwing everything at me and I will be doing the same. A massive game in determining what happens this season.

Botwatch:
II.1 - (Big 8) Machida Bulls and NIKUBUKURO seemed destined for bot-dom. And が失われることはありません, TokyoDriftTeam and I am legend haven't been on for around a week.
(Great 8) Challenger2 officially gone bot. Everyone else's active... and I'd just like to offer a "well done" to Maga_san, who is VERY active! Great to have a new guy here who's involved.

Elsewhere (ie. II.2) - UCK3C hasn't been on for a week, Same with Okayama Chon (that'd be a pity to lose him) and Tokyo Bulls.

I guess GotW would be が失われることはありません vs NKRK (#3 B8 vs #3G8).

HCA & the CT gave you the 2 point win well done. I have lost count of the number of really big games I have lost by 2 points or less. I guess now I have to rely on NKRK, Otaku or Terry Bogard taking you down to get me the HCA back if I make it to the finals. That was a massive offensive rebound by Luca Linetti and a clutch shot by Markel Barrueso. It was a funny game, looking at the match report I equalled or beat you in every single category but still lost. Good luck for the rest of the season and I hope we do get to play again.

Probably won't be me. I will get through the Cup this week, and have to face something nasty the following week. If want to have a swing at that, I'm going to have to go easy against BB.

I think I was lucky, and hope the next time when we meet is in the finals 。Good Game

I think I may lose the game
Because of your players is more stronger than my players
You then bought some very good players
Luck do not always with me
GL

Almost the all star week and things are getting very tight. Probably still 5-6 teams that have a reasonable shot at the championship.

Big 8
BBstAr have only lost 1 game all season but I expect at least 1 of Shikoku Otaku or Terry Bogard to take him down.
Baikinman have 3 losses and still have to face Northern Kyushu Ramen Kings and Shikoku Otaku so I would expect that to become 5.

Great 8
Just one game between the top 4 shows how close this season is.
Kyoto Shogun have had a close win over Shikoku Otaku and a close loss to BBstAr.
Shikoku Otaku have probably the best roster in the league right now but must beat BBstAr and Baikinman to have a chance of HCA.
Northern Kyushu Raman Kings have injury issues but showed their class with their big wins over Shikoku Otaku and BBstAr while still managing the best cup run in all of d2.
Terry Bogard have been the surprise team using their enthusiasm brilliantly TIEing the weak and crunching the strong, I doubt anyone considers them an easy match anymore.

Look at the JBBL. All 6 of these teams are better than bottom 5 teams there and are worthy of promotion. Due to bots at least two teams will go up but who will it be?
