its RiPs season!

no, America's Time Now


you can be the assistant tho Canada ;)

This kinda imbalances the early rounds doesn't it??? Well its an imbalance in the whole compeition....

First season in awhile that ive paid attention. The draw is what it is, random. If i drew one of the teams from tunisia id be thrilled for the PD which is huge in B3 if you lose 2 games. Unfort i didnt, so yeah it kinda sucks and have to do it the hard way, win 3 of 4 on the road and hold court at home in every game.

Anyone else agree with me that some of these really small nations should be solved somehow?

Doesnt seem like the BB's care about issues caused by micronations. My apologies if its been brought up with an explanation.

yea, but how? if those teams are champions of their countries? you can't just kick them out of the competition. It's just like in the real life .

i thought puting guard on C is past.. will see if it was becose of metalist´s or becose of tehran´s players.

Yes it's interesting, but hardly surprising. It's been only a matter of time before someone breaks through with uniquely trained players who switch positions between offense and defense which is the next step after Look inside IMO. That said, I don't think I love Tehran will be able to win B3 with these players, but it's one of the second steps into post-Look inside era. The first one I believe was made by Czech's NT manager and his uniquely trained players, but nobody was taking notes, at least not on forums, because it's NT and not a personal team.

EDIT: Btw, the game was not won by Tehran solely because of tactics he chose, although with these type of players, I don't think he could win with any other tactic. He had more than 20 extra possessions compared to Metallist Kharkov because of his turnovers (17 to 7) and Tehran's offensive rebounds (18 to 4). Without these two, Tehran probably loses.

I'm not sure if this has been suggested, but could having a swiss-system tournament instead of random draw solve this issue?
