Currently in div II and depending on which teams get assigned to my div (since there are 3 bots relegating from div I), promotion is very much guaranteed (with minimum payroll). So I was jus wondering if I should promote (and then probably risk getting demoted back to div II the following season) or tank for a few seasons to stock up on money before promoting.

Iirc there was this Iranian team some time ago (was it Venomous Vipers or something like that) that tanked for some time to stockpile money then launched an all out assault on the B3 right? Is the same strategy still viable?

Depends on how much money you would get in each league. IDK the numbers but if you would get more money from tv contract-minimum salary in d1 I would want to promote to d1, tank, relegate, tank in d2, then go for it when you think you have enough money.

Hmm not a bad idea. Was just wondering if tanking would be less beneficial than winning against bots. I guess I should try it out then (plus I get top pick for finishing near the bottom last right?)

if you go 21-0 in a season, you promote. Playoffs not a factor

Wow cool. Does it only happen for lower divisions, like V and IV? And how is the actually mechanic like?
