Oh, GraVe... What a nice win! Congratulations! You were left without no trophies last season. And this is your reward for your patience and endless training and hard work. This is your first trophy this season. But definitely not the last one! Congrats! :)
I guess I've never paid attention, how is the bracket for internationals setup? Is it just random? I've had two really tough games in a row and I see teams that are ranked below me in my league that have had a cakewalk schedule so far. Shouldn't the better teams be given the benefit of an easier international schedule, not the weaker teams?
3 teams from North America Youngers and 1 from Asia Pacific Youngers.
Krakow Ancient Kings vs Oxford Owls Both of them are most serious candidates to win this tournament the same as their national championship too. And that is because Seba76 is a very experienced manager, plus tetrahydroc has built amazing team this season which crushes almost everyone on its way.
Seattle Retro Sonics vs Pirates of the Caribbean Despite the fact that Sonics team is in 6th position in its national championship, this team is very dangerous and strong, because it is owned by mrcavs. Pirates team is also not between strongest teams in national championship, but it has strong will and well trained and talented players. Manager Dungeon makes sure that players are in best shape before the games.
1 from Euro East Youngers 1 from Middle East Youngers 1 from Asia Pacific Youngers 5 from North America Youngers
Situation is quite usual, because last 5 seasons winner team was from North America Youngers. It's interesting if it will be 6th time in a row. Odds are on North America Youngers side as we can see.
In such an early stage of this tournament we already have so many great matches. Youngers Butterflies vs Melbourne Kangaroos, E N O Youngers vs CTU Los Angeles, Ck Robywave's Surfers vs Wolverines Team are just a few to mention. There are more of course. What a great day ;)
This time Musampa had no chance against robywave1971, which resulted that Butterflies were crushed by Celtics in more than 40 points. Similar situation in other semi-finals match where Dungeon's Kangaroos were smashed by seahjiaxun's Tigers in more than 25 points.
Today is a final day of this international competition! And we see two great teams ready to give away everything in order to achieve champion title this season. robywave1971 already know this taste of champion title as he already won this tournament in season 25 with his current Ck Robywave's Juniors club.
Interesting fact, in Juniors Division Cup robywave1971's Ck Robywave's Juniors also participates in a final match today. As we can see robywave1971 is a very tough opponent for anyone. I believe that it will be a very hard task for seahjiaxun today to beat him, but I agree that both of teams has their strengths and weaknesses which means that both of these clubs can win today :)
Youngers Butterflies club has defeated Ck Robywave's Celtics in a league game 164-153. As we can expect, it probably will be a very close game and I could not bet which of them wins. Both can to win of course :)
Melbourne Kangaroos and Shenyang Tigers have never played this season as they belong to different leagues in Youngers. But both of them seems to be a really strong and worth to go to the Finals :)
New season just started. And we'll have lots of challenges this season here in Youngers Division Cup. Good luck in first games of this competition ;) Unfortunately, first games will be the last for a half of teams, so it's time to show really good performance. No time to wait for another opportunity :)
It's time to find out who is the winner of Youngers Division Cup in S27.
Ck Dragon Slayer Syndicate vs E N O Youngers It was Day 14 when these club met last time. And Dragon Slayer Syndicate was better that time 100-74. But that was a league game. Today it's a game for the champion title of Youngers Division Cup. As Mackey is kind of new here in Youngers, his team has no titles yet in Youngers leagues and Youngers international competitions, but Mackey has everything to win the first international trophy. And not just win, but win the most noble kind of metal - gold. GOVZANGIEF has lots of experience here in Youngers and his E N O Youngers club already has 2 medals from Youngers Division Cups in earlier season: gold in S23 and silver in S25. Another silver for sure, but another gold would be more appreciated.
Good luck guys, you're both worth to win champion title as you both are in top of North America Youngers. No surprise for anyone to see you here. Nevertheless it's no surprise, it's also a pleasure to watch how so strong basketball clubs and talented managers faces each other. Good luck!
As all 4 teams are from North America Youngers, all of them have already played against each other, cause yesterday was played 15th match on NAY, which means that every team has already played against any other league team.
Dragon Minx Boats vs E N O Youngers In league match Youngers club won against Minx Boats 117-74. This is a huge 43 points advantage of Youngers club. But this was in the beginning of season. Lots of things might have changed till now, so we are looking forward to see a really good basketball competition.
Colorado Tigers vs Ck Dragon Slayer Syndicate Their league match ended with a win of Mackey's club 166-136. It would be a sweet revenge for feedme in this semi-final match. We'll find out soon if that happens.
1st match: Pirates of the Caribbean vs Universidad De La Vida Both teams seems to be strong ones and both are between top 3 clubs in their national leagues. De La Vida players has much higher team value so that might be their trump card. Both managers will do their best to make it to Finals. But losing should not be such a bad thing cause losers will also be awarded with bronze medals. It is already a great achievement to go in this tournament so far... But players are fighters from their nature, so that's gonna be a great match. I sincerely believe so :)
2nd match: Melbourne Kangaroos vs Dragon Minx These basketball clubs are leaders in national championships. So, this time it's top team from Asia Pacific Youngers vs top team from North America Youngers. Team values are quite different, cause Minx club has much more trained players, but this is not an excuse for Kangaroos club. Both are willing to get a chance to play in Final. This is only one match, no series, so everyone starting from managers and finishing with players has to do their best in this match. These clubs have never played before as far as I know. As I heard, fans from both sides are very excited about this game. Gonna be a great show!
I bet that biggest surprise in last round was win of Runk Pockers team against Oxford Owls. Pockers were able to finish match with 3 points advantage. It was a close match, but these young talented guys played really well and their manager stylusiam did really amazing job preparing his guys to play against a team with much higher team value.
Another interesting result was recorded between CK Colorado Tigers and Universidad De La Vida. 2nd team from North America Youngers won against 2nd team in Euro East Youngers. Congrats acojonante. Well played! :)
