I appreciate that a lot man. I think my roster may barely be enough to avoid relegation based upon the research into the league. I think where I feel a little unsure of is where to go from here. Seems like the most common advice is try to stick around for a few seasons and make some money so you can restructure your team to be more competative. We'll see what happens!
As for the finals - nobody was more shocked than me that my strategy worked. I had vacillated around a number of different attacks and figured he was going to expect me to go inside, so I went motion and almost took that game on the road. He had played PO CT and I Played PO Normal as well. I felt pretty good going home so I went motion again to see if I could get him to do exactly what he did in game 3 at his place when I switched it up and went CT with full enthusiasm. He actually got promoted to the same D2 league, and how we're on the same side of the bracket as well.
Whatever happens, I really appreciate you reaching out my friend. Thank you! Best of luck to you!
