The Osaka Buckeyes

New Recruits: Quite a few recruits...we signed 19 younger/better dots that should be able to keep Kermit supplied with towels.

Osaka has become one of the elite SLAP representatives along with MPHD entering their 4th consecutive WL seasons despite “Only managing to get Kermit #1 Kicker in GLB status in one season.”

S20 Owner 5STAR, Co owner TyrannyVaunt (aka “Tranny”), OC: sigepmagicmike, ElvisTCB and “hsk” are the main agents on the team controlling their AI and feeding Kermit chances to miss 50 yarders.

5STAR believes their team strength is the K. “Kermit. TBH we sucked on offense and special teams last season and it cost us some games. If I can get the ball to Kermit we will be ok.”

Osaka has a few concerns like “Not supplying Kermit with enough hookers” but look for them to be able to navigate through Zeta.


FYP


Our special teams sucked last year... Kermit was obviously a big part in obtaining that distinction!

Ugly Thing (owned by Rexi) - SS http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=1207519
DARREN SHARPER 23 (owned by Ronnie Brown 23) - STOP http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=1238017

Best Recruits?
They are all really great dots, except my terrible STOP SS. (copouts ftw)
P.S. if anyone has an elite blitzing LB, please PM me

Story of your team name?
In our inaugural season we had our team members come up with a ton of suggestions, and some of our members were from Syracuse. The other suggestions getting a lot of votes were Raleigh Rake Salesmen, Belligerent Battlehams, Huge Tracts of Land, and Frankfurt Mountain Lions (original team name).

Favorite player on team to watch?
I love watching all of the dots, but if I had to pick one it would be our elusive HB ( http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=1132006 ). The stuff HBs can do is just so much more varied than other dots.

Best named player on team?
Obviously KR and PR because he is a KR and PR.

Any major players Lost to other teams or via decline?
We lost almost around 9-10 dots to decline and another 4-5 to other teams. The most important losses include defensive tackles, a blocking TE, and blitzing LBs.

Where were new players from? Recruits, networks, free agency etc?
0 of the 14 new dots are from networks (we are not associated with anyone but our own farm teams).
8 of the 14 new dots are recruits.
6 of the 14 new dots are from agents already associated with the team.

Team Superstars?
Each dot is integral to our team, so there's no superstars. (copouts ftw)
I did make a video about DrkSandman's turrible QB, though.

Anyone with endorsements?
Nope.

Team strengths?
Clock control - running the ball and playing stellar defense. In the pros and below, at least.

Any weaknesses or spots you wish you were stronger in?
Our passing game has been rather poor.

What do you want to improve most from S19 to S20 on your team?
I want to improve our receivers and defensive builds, as well as expanding my abilities as a OC/DC/STC.

Any team concerns entering S20?
We don't have the LB depth I wanted and had to settle for a couple of decline dots. Certain areas of our team are actually worse than they have been for the past 2 seasons. The WL is a tough league so I know every game is going to be either us getting steamrolled or a dogfight.

Predicted Record?:
16-0, or maybe 15-1 if we get a bad Streaky day

Most Feared Team/s?
The WL playoff teams from last season. And definitely Chocolate Blaze - the dots they discard to us are some of the best on our team.

What should WL expect from your team S20? AI style, forum trolling etc
We posted in the OPL forums very frequently but we hardly trash talked. Our lolkicker probably does more than our entire team combined. You likely won't hear from us much as this WL forum seems a lot more troll infested than the OPL one.

We talking about practice?

Previous Team WL experience?
None, apart from agents/dots who reached the WL on different teams.

How was your pro league experience?
It was amazing. We joined OPL about 4 years ago (after a team vote on where to go). Every season we've been near the top of the league and have had a plethora of close games. The playoffs are extremely stressful due to the parity, but it's really fun. I doubt the WL will be nearly as fun for us.

What are your team forums like?
They are pretty active. We have a decent amount of sports discussion, as well as threads for each GLB game we play. The agents who own more dots on the team tend to be much quieter than the ones that own 0-2 dots.

There's a lot of really funny dudes in our forums, even if some of them don't post much. There's also a couple of memes: "Is this where I ask for a release?" and "It pissed me off, and I decided to jack-off instead."

The coolest thing about our forums is that when we win championships and such, there is genuine excitement and enjoyment. There's actual camaraderie, especially among the guys that only have dots on Synergy teams.

Team forum personalities?
Talcion has owned a lolkicker on our team since the beginning of time, and loves to talk trash. DrkSandman likes to talk about his boners and abusing mod powers (often related). There's few guys who randomly post hilarious shit.

What are they saying about your upcoming season?
We haven't actually posted about it much. I'm guessing people are enjoying their holidays.

Who are the core agents/coordinators that make up your team go?
Kaazen helps with all aspects of the team when I'm really busy. Talcion has helped in the past with recruiting/finances. Jesusmp2000 and Kistanth have also helped with recruiting in the past. Firehazard helps ease the scouting load. Rexi has helped with networking and a lot of random stuff. Tricon and Mat McBriar helped temporarily with last season's playoff run. DrkSandman has helped with networking and is currently doing a lot of managing with a farm team. There's also agents like SenorChicken, capitanplaneto, etc.. who are always willing to give us dots when we need. MRIGUY is doing a fantastic job coordinating for one of our farm teams.

Team history: things like how your team started, past success, any rebuilds/mergers etc.?
The team started in Season 10, with just myself and Kaazen. We knew nobody in this game, so we just recruiting from free agents. We've progressed up the caps and have finally landed in the WL.
This is our team history: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/d5b874b40e.png . We won league championships in seasons 12 (38 cap), 15 (AAA), and 19 (OPL). We've also had some tournament success in seasons 12 and 15.
We have never rebuilt or merged with any teams.

Farm teams already in place?
Samoa Synergy (http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=7667) - National Minor Elite #1
Seattle Synergy (http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=3327) - Rookie League #6

Other random thoughts:
PLAYMAKERS, thank you very much for organizing this survey. Things like this make the game much more fun to play.

Wait... so Korb has "30+" farm teams and they only went 9-7 last season?

I get that their conference was real tough, but I'd expect an experienced WL team with several full pro rosters to hand pick dots from to at least be able to consistently earn a first round home game. What's the handicap?

A lot of players to pick from doesn't automatically mean great and certainly doesn't mean the best builds in GLB either. Then you have to consider that most of those teams are below pro and not at a WL level at this point. So including them in reasons for going 9-7 in WL is a bit ridiculous.

Not to mention it all means nothing if you aren't gameplanning top notch and selecting the perfect VA/AEQ's.

Our time will come, most of our teams are at lower levels at the moment. WE don´t have that many level 72 elite dots available at the moment, but this will change at the start of season 21

LOL, wouldn't anyone? Our organization doesn't compare in any way to yours as until recently we've just been a simple stand-alone team. Apparently we're officially an addict team now, which as far as I can tell just sort of appeared there on our team profile box one day last season and means nothing else. Our roster has been many of the same dots all the way up the line and we were still 2 full seasons away from being WL-ready in S19.

We clearly over-achieved last season to climb out of a conference featuring 4 teams that had been in the WL the previous season, you guys managed to hang around in the WL for another go. If 6 other pro+ teams can't supply the dots you need for a championship run up here yet, I guess hanging around is good enough.

We share a conference with both dodel squads, so by all means beat the crap out of us twice.
