I don't do the scouting. Yup I spotted Bronson too.

Funny enough Hána was once considered a monster. I (and few others) pushed rwystyrk to get him on NT when very fishy bid on him appeared clearly with the intent to fire him for good and thus knock him of use (back then when it was still possible) stating at worst he will be for no use later, but at least we would keep him as a unique monster option (he was way ahead other ortodoxly trained big men at that moment). That fishy team put him on TL ASAP and we got him under our wings.

You already know the answer to that question. Of course they would've lost if Poland, Spain or Italy would've had HCA. That being said, as docend pointed out, they earned HCA for the continentals by their performance in the consolation tournament. I'm fine with them having that significant advantage in the continentals. I don't think anyone should have that advantage in the Worlds, otherwise we are basically handing out Worlds golds before the season begins.

Oh, I haven't realized till now you were answering Marot with that first post. I though you brought up Czech nt as Slovakia was mentioned and you were actually challenging Marot's point of view about HCA at worlds doesn't matter. So sorry for all that off topic (they should make NT forums public, or a public section of it anyway), we share point of view on HCA then. :-)

So as someone who follows the European tournament closer than me, is Ceska best team in Europe or are they not in your opinion? You said yourself that the best team always wins, and HCA doesn't matter. You tell me.

Does Ceska typically get 14 Outside Defense and 13 Inside Defense ratings? Is that typical for a NT?



Well, no hard-feelings is just my opinion, but yes, for me Ceska was the best team this past season by far.

Some seasons ago, Italy lost the final against Spain(S15), on S11 Türkiye seemed to be a really strong team and we also won them. In S12 we won the final on China home(that in 2 seasons the NT coach he lost just 1 game(the WC final)).

And this are the examples i know closer, i'm pretty sure there are other results, having the HCA doesn't mean they will win the tournament, the only thing you have to do is try harder ;)
