Looks like I might have taken it too easy in the run up...

Yeah his GS is awful, you should beat him pretty easily I would think. As for my opponent it may be a little closer. I was really hoping to pull off a win last night to get HCA in that first game, but I decided it was better to TIE. Pretty much all my losses this season were I played my backups to maintain GS for the cup, I got CT'd on TIE (or norm'd like last night, I still do not understand why erphil would do that when he already had 1st place locked up but whatever), or I lost to a team about to got bot, haha.

Yeah, most of my losses came under similar circumstances...at least within my conference. I started subs in many league games for training purposes. Next season's plan depends on the new faces in our conference. My trainees have another season or so before they're legit starters even in this league. Not too much of a point spending much on other positions until they are.

To be honest with you this season has been fun and all, but it was not nearly what I had hoped for. I was surprised at how many teams actually went bot in our league. And the forum activity was sub-par. I give thanks for those who did post in here though :) Anyway, the PO's should definitely be interesting, especially in the Big 8 where we have 4 good teams competing. As for the Great 8, we all pretty much know who's gonna win (Hoosier and laurenwood). I'm curious to see who wins that matchup...

My training has been very simple this season. Truong is already developed enough to start each game, Cascais makes a nice backup right now, and Fischer is a good backup SF who get's training in 1v1 weeks. Next season is going to be really interesting for me, for I'm going to have to make some decisions. Things would be a lot easier for me if i promoted this season, but I kinda doubt that's going to happen...

We lost one game because we started our subs and two games because of lower enthusiasm.

The Shadowcats picked up SF Damrong "Damn Wrong" Na Sakhonnakhon (6087522) and
SG Elbo "Macaroni" Raga (2829668).

We now have a pretty deep team although Raga is in mediocre game shape and I like our chances. Dwain Withers and Mesut Sinirli are arguably the best players in the league.

The Great 8 has not been as competitive as I would have liked but I look forward to challenging whoever the Big 8 winner is.

Yeah, Withers and Sinirli are great players, you really know what you're doing. How's it feel to have Withers on the U21? According to magiker Truong will probably be the backup C or PF next season for the team, that is if I do not sell him beforehand. Like I said, I'm going to have to make some key decisions next season, and I will really have to think about what my long term goals are. Anyway, these PO's should be a good one!
