Despite the lack of conversation in most Divs other than the ABBL, was perusing the divs and their finals series and couldn't help but make a comment here.

When I saw Wolves Revenge, with a carefully put together 8-man roster, who finished in 3rd, give up HCA...

...and beat Koops and take out game 1 of the finals against OTTS's Kira Kira...

...on Koops's and Jay's homecourts...

...cool...

...taking down two ABBL greats like that and having never been to the big dance before...

...cool.

B)

I'm not sure who you really are, Wolfman, but nice.

Go the Wolves!

Thanks Mr J
Still got a lot of work to do to take one more game from Kira Kira who have been the standout team all season.

It's been a fun season for the Wolves, I used an ageing roster to get to the Qrts in the Battlers and then tweaked the squad to run a balanced 8 through the second half of the season and moved from 6th up to 3rd in the last few weeks.

Had some closely fought playoff games with Koops and Pears and was lucky to escape with a narrow win in Game 1 of the final. Big game from last season's MVP got us across the line
No doubt Kira Kira will be a handful in game 2

Would be great to make it into ABBL after all this time in II.4

A good season.

I think Kira Kira has his hands full on your homecourt now

Good luck to both of you.




EDIT: PS, I should add that I am a massive, long-term fan of Koops...always will be.

I used to be a fan of Koops... Until he injured 2 of my starters in the final game of the season, making me lose my relegation series and sending me back to div III

-_-

It's been real II.4, hopefully I come back here after promoting.

Also I'm kidding, I still love Koopasauras, I'm just a little salty lol

Haha fair enough.

So, you are planning on a big Season 69 then, Solesky?


EDIT: Just realised you were referring to your relegation. Maybe you'll be joining me?! :-)

I hope not lol.

Would be nice if I can just 22-0 and head back up to Div II, especially since my trainees will become expensive in season 70.

I remember when I first played this game back in season 12, I was stuck in div III.7 for many seasons. It still haunts me to this day...

I understand your pain. Mind you, I had a very different Div III experience having played since Season 14. I have won more than 10 Div III Titles. I would regularly bounce from II to III just to try and train and build finances.

Since my return a few seasons ago (S64) I have vowed not to do that...and then I won a Div III title quickly in my second season. lol

As a new HG team, bouncing back to III after getting to II again...will hopefully never happen again. Mind you, it will take a couple more seasons before I have to worry about that.

I think less teams in AU means less competition in Div III. From what I remember, only the first 8 or so Div III leagues have actual human players in them.

Yeah, mate. It's definitely slowly getting worse.

Geez, great playoff series with nothing in the first 2 games. I thought the Wolves might sneak it in 2...

...but Jay had other plans. Nice work, Kira...damn, hard to get my head around that name after seeing You Shouldve Dunked for so many seasons! I do like the new name.

Hey, OTT, why did you change your name? Just curious. I can't talk, changed my team name 7 times over the years before deciding this is it!

Anyway, enough dribbling from me.

Good luck to both of you today. I think I'll watch this one.


EDIT: @Wolfman...glad to see Rufu will be back for your decider.

I'll admit that my management skills this season were shockingly grim, and in any other situation I would've been swept or not even made the finals. But team I just had was just so strong that I could pull a DBZ villain move, actually use 100% of my power, and win away after losing at home. I don't usually like to brute force a division title like this, but I also really didn't want to lose any of my draftees who are just starting to get really good and could be the backbone of an ABBL titlewinner.

I see I left a big legacy as You Shouldve Dunked in this game. Sometimes I miss the old name myself, but I also don't regret changing it as I had been thinking of taking a new team name for a while and wanted to rep one of my favourite VTubers; https://www.youtube.com/@KosekiBijou

The VTuber subgenre of streaming has been a major source of entertainment for me these past 4-5 years, which is also how the 2nd team got called Yubi Yubi. I made peace with the fact that some people (but hopefully not most) are always going to think I'm weird no matter what I do, so why not be fully open about what I like?
