I wrote this at the beginning of the season:

I promoted to the first league again and this time I intend to stay!


I managed to secure the last PlayOff spot in my division, mostly because the team I played last game against tanked, but I won't complain. I managed to beat my main competitor "Ljute ptice" twice and that was the key. Now I will get demolished in PlayOff, but who cares! Let's go!

Nice achievement! Congrats!


I managed to get into the playoffs for the 2nd season in a row. Unfortunately, we are 4th again even though we improved our win amount from 12 to 14. The season was a rollercoaster. We started very poorly by only winning 3 of the first 9 matches, but after that we went on an 11 win streak. And after that we lost the last 2 :D


We can still probably improve a bit from this, but because of Hupipalloilijat, WR1 and a B3 winner from few years ago, keeps dominating the domestic competitions for probably 4-5 seasons to come, I doubt we can realistically aim for any trophies during that time, but maybe if we can figure out a plan to train new bigs, our window of opportunity might arise after that. The guards still have around 7-9 seasons in them, but they still need some training which makes it complicated. We'll see...


Ps. Our long time center Sami Paakkinen did become the all time leader of Finnish NT rebounds as well as 3rd all time in games played. He's only 21 games away from the 1st place so maybe there's a chance for that as well, since he still is at least on the bench in every game. I would imagine that at this point he's one of the all time best players coming from a homegrown team! Hopefully he can still last a season or two before the serious decline of the skills starts. Only two drops so far so fingers crossed this will keep up.

Hello !

After 3 seasons in ligue 3, I ended with a 21-1 record :D So that I will promote (but I'll try to win to get the 750k promotion reward).
In the other conference, the first is also 21-1, but my PA is better than his.
The only game between us this season saw HIS victory in MY arena by 20 pts. Thanks to the other team who beat him :DD

Next season in league 2 will be very hard cos' my dominant PF had many downs this season, my 2 guards turn 36 & 37, but the new guards (21 & 23) turn 20k with a very good defence but not enough Passing & JS. Next season ... !
I hope to draft a future big man at this draft.

Maybe I made a mistake and won't have the fan bonus ?

It's exciting to see that homegrown teams are getting better, winning more cup titles etc.

First time I've reached the playoffs in Div. 1 of Nations of Europe. I even managed to stick to my training plan and start one my 20 year olds for half of the games. Today, however, I've lost to the first seed by 23...

Officially I am a homegrown team, I sold my last out-of-my-academy player.

My players are between 19-23 years, and still improving. Now 7 in the rotation and waiting for another star from the draft to complete the team.

My arena is done, 21.000 seats and already developed.

So from now on just need patience and training, the rest will come by itself.

Good luck!.
