right, because people never retire players...

Because bhall's use of present tense clearly indicated he was talking about the past.

Oh, this isn't meant for Haligerianfax or whatever the fuck they're calling themselves today, because we would have lost even if I had time to gameplan. What my frustration comes from is wondering why the hell there are only a small handful of teams at this level with any chance whatsoever? What makes you guys so much better than us. That's what I can't figure out. I've seen some of the elite builds out there, and they aren't any more elite than the builds we have in Singapore.

Anyone? What factor allows the top 3 or 4 playoff teams in each league hold absolute power over the entirety of GLB?

i can tell ya this right now...stop looking at builds and start watching film...its the real reason Lincoln is what they are....while we like pretty elite builds on our team...watching elite dots means a shit ton more....you put a bunch of elite dots on a team and they will perform 9 times out of 10 better than a bunch of elite builds....guaranteed. I attribute everything we have done to ddingo...the guy goes out and watches games and finds great players...im talking before this season where we merged...he just went out and found great players and i just did what i could do to help....he made this team great and im just glad to OC for it.

I can say tho that I have been OC for several teams and many of them have had pretty elite builds...but it just comes down to dots man...you want to stay ahead of the curve...watch some film...straight up. I don't care how great someone's build is....they aren't elite until it shows on the dot field.

this and this

another thing that hasn't been mentioned is getting every one on the same page - it's a huge deal to have a cohesive vision for the team (what they are going to do defensively and offensively) and to coordinate builds and AI around that vision. Getting agents who will work with you on this without a me first attitude is huge. Some players just care about the stats their dot gets - the best dots though are the one who will sacrifice numbers for the better of the team.

(EDIT FOR QUOTE FAIL)


****************************************************************************************************************************
But it is important to realize though, even that may not be enough.

It's taken some getting used to for myself personally, but you have to realize you are playing amongst the best of the best of THE BEST that GLB will ever offer. It is no shame to lose to Haliblack or Lincoln if the score is anything less than 255-0.

To get to this level is an enormous accomplishment that 99% of GLB teams will never experience - yet you have. There will be multitudes of teams after you that will get *SO* close but lose the last game - some by missing a chipshot FG, some by getting blown out - and will *never* make it back that close again.

Try not to get discouraged that the amount of effort you are putting is not translating to great success up here.....instead find encouragement that that amount of effort has gotten you to this very exclusive of heights in the first place.

Thank goodness we're not getting pretentious up here.

we mostly do it with lulz

Underrated post.

Among all this pretensiousness, GG Lincoln. You guys are so much better than us and I'm stocked to put up 19 and keep you guys to your lowest score of the regular season!!

Gart has it right, as he usually does.


To elaborate a bit:

The very best teams generally have excellent builds across the board, and a few that are exceptional even amongst the elite.

Tactics are very important, but assumedly many if not most of the teams at this level are good enough to put together a high quality gameplan...the top 8 teams in each conference definitely have game planning that ranges from competent to exceptional.

At the end of the day however, games vs the likes of Drygerian will come down to whther your dot is good enough to stop their dot...Jedi, Dooley and Jericho each present real challenges to the defense, and while a good defensive scheme with solid players will stop most opponents 95% of the time, it takes a good scheme with excellent players to stop that trio.

That's the real difference...the edge between really good and great which is played out exclusively in World League.

Can you tackle Jedi? Can you cover Jericho or pressue the QB quickly enough to take him out of the equation? Can you keep Dooely from getting an edge? Or will their TE (is it still Megan Raine?) dump your LDE then move on to dump your LOLB?

You might have the right defense called, but if your dots are simply over-whelmed, you won't get the job done.

It's a brutal league...every team here is used to winning...a lot.

But there are a few teams that are just better, in the same way that you were just better amongst the Pro league you recently left.

I think the toughest thing is to know you are maybe the 4th best team, but to know the gap between you and number 1 is just too wide to overcome.

There are a shit-ton of teams and players on this site. These are the very best of the best. There's no shame in losing up here. (unless you lose to BFM )
This, emphatically.

The best way to win in GLB is: one, get the best dots, two devise an AI that consistently puts your dots one-on-one with their dots.
