QB with the steal of the season so far. It's really surprising that no one else send in a higher bet. rak is in my mind one of the best tier 2 players in the entire competition.

There was a higher bet, even more than twice bigger, but it wasn't prioritized properly to get Rak.

I wonder who made that mistake.

The Warden Special #4



Edited 11/19/2017 22:46:53

So what happens to krunx's team now? He needs another player but only has 7.5 nohams left.

He needs to make a trade with another manager. Either 1 player of him against 2 others to fill his Team or by including money into this Deal.

After some deliberation between the panel and managers, we've decided that every manager will be awarded an extra 25 Nohhams. This was a neccessary change, as 5/6 managers were in financial difficulty after large bids on T3-T6 players. Now everyone has the required amount to complete their roster.

Listed below are the current balances of each team. (The salary prices are just estimations at this point, considering no player is officially locked in to play 5 or 10 games)

The manager round has also concluded. Manager prices were derived from the average selling price of the other players in their tier. The managers price could then be halved if they opted to only play 1 tournament (which they all did).

The results are as follows:

#Master [QB]: 41 Nohhams
krunx: 30 Nohhams
Platinum: 23 Nohhams
Min34: 18 Nohhams
Kenny • apex: 18 Nohhams
Brènnain: 12 Nohhams

Buns for 55? O.O

Because everyone wasted their cash on the first rounds.

That's most likely also a reason why nobody got Mifran.

Seems to me that the clear winner of the auction phase is QB.

I easy write this one round before the auction, because Treasure Hunters had the most Nohhams left (almost twice as much than the other clubs!) and they have already 3 (!) top tier players (yes, I think rakleader is a top tier too :P and he is a very good team player too who can manage a team!). And in the round 6 auction will be another two top tier players (MoD and Timon) so I am sure that (at least) one of them will be bought by QB, which means 4 (!) top tier players in one team :O

Besides this, they have smart choices from the lower tier players too, it seems he bought very cheap but reliable players from the Masters learning clan (Apprentice) who can easy cooperative (disciplined) play in the team games leading by MotD and rakleader for example.

I think it is a very deliberate and clever tactic by the Treasure Hunters!

Not to mention that they bought the main admin of the series (MotD) and they also own the press too (Tito) :D

Btw, I read the auction rules, but I am not sure I understood everything, for example how the hell can QB bought rakleader in that price while there were a bid with twice as high a price?
I am sure, I am not the only one who didn't understand well the auction system (I meant some managers too :P )

Maybe I just can't understand the other managers' concepts (ok I see Plat's trolling :P), but I think QB's concept was the far best.
The only chance for other teams, that the league filled by very very much good players, so their choosed players can fight againts the big names of the Treaure Hunters well.

But again, imo the auction phase was very domitaned by the Treasure Hunters, congrats them for the clever tactic!
