Wanted to pay my respect to RGB (92390) here. You are such a great and formidable foe, that I spent the past full month thinking about this game after you absolutely massacred me in our group stage win.

This is definitely the biggest highlight in my 40+ BB seasons and that is a testament of how strong and well managed your team is.

Darkonako may be the most unlucky B3 contender ever. Last season he gets an injury in the final which arguably cost him the game. This season, his top scorer gets injured in the league game before the QF game and then his highest salary player goes down injured in the game leaving him with 5 players to use. Safe to say 4/5 remaining players all became exhausted early in the 4th which is when his opponent killed the game off.

compliments to both Darkonako as well as the winner Starstr3k. That was two very well built team and a great three quarters I think.

Yeah, that injury has been cruel, even more after what happened last season in the final. Thanks for that message! Also thanks to Steaua's manager for an incredibly kind message after he saw my double injury. Class people here in BB.

To be honest, I've always had more hate than love relationship with B3 as I've had serious injuries (with doctors lvl 5-6) in my top players 5 times out of the 13 times I've fought for BB and reached at least the round of 16. It's a bit frustrating but at the same time, I believe injuries are fine as they are. We need to find ways to make longer rosters in order not to be so affected by injuries.

Anyway, I always say that if you wanna win B3, you have to be the best manager AND avoid issues (injuries, unlucky simulations...) during 5-6 ways. If you do not meet one of these two criteria, you go home.

This is actually what is so nice about BB. It is just like life: not everything is in your hands but you have to do your very best to control what can be under control. You can prepare for an exam for ages and get sick the day before, or a flight can get canceled at the last minute when you've saved money for ages in order to visit a friend on the other side of the world. This is why we love BB

Congrats to my friend Norris on reaching the SFs and to Hornets, Steaua and DLR. 4 brutal teams and managers. The competition for the title will be amazing. Looking forward to seeing their decisions for the games!

It was truly an unfair win, but as you said, BB is sometimes about being lucky. Maybe the Game Engine wanted to make me an early birthday present and get me in the final four.

A win is a win, but i cannot be that happy winning it that way. Your team is definetly fantastic, playing in 5 and a half players and be so competitive shows real quality.

I wont try to exagerate, but in my opinion, you are the greatest manager in BB, counting the reasons wouldnt matter.

Hopefully to play again in B3.

Regarding this season, I consider it very competitive, each of us have real chances of winning.

Good luck to you all!

Congratulations Bigeasy!! Great performance in this B3, defence!!!

Thanks! It's only flattering that I've had so many close games with so many great team in this run. This is definitely one of the most special experience I could have imagined.


I have transfer listed my whole team so that anyone interested to see my team composition can see the players at https://buzzerbeater.com/team/187272/players.aspx

I feel this run certainly has validated the value of defense in the BB engine and would welcome all discussions about how to train/construct a defensive team/player for a better understanding of the game.

It costed me more than 7.5M to purchase the unique Ukrainian player Inikhov (47395939), I really hope we'll have a lot more managers willing to train defensive monsters like him and that by season 65, we will have a lot more Inikhov available on the market that we could buy them much more readily if we want to contruct a defensive team :)

Congradulations for your win!

Big champion!

Your team is definetly unique and it has multiple edges, also your playstyle has been very smart in a lot of big matches.
