TeamScooby which is this season's cup winner, blatant cheater with his little multi teams transfering money in and out of multis to main team as well. Transfered player between multis with main and utopia, just check his transfers.


i believe all of these teams have been reported, how long is this blatant cheating going to go on?

I don't know about Minions, but as I personnaly know Gionut, who his a long time player here and a former ESL player who already play the high rank (when is team was called Gionut BC), I'm sure he have nothing to do with Minions, even though I was the first surprised when he sell Breda at this price.

For the cup, it's a matter of luck, we should all ask ourself why there's 3 div II teams in the last quarter while the only ESL team is Minas who sell most of his players at the begining of the season.

But since the transfers was reported more than a week ago, if there's something against Gionut, shouldn't he have already received a sanction ?

This has been brought up (at least twice) in the BB discord channel.

The suspicious activity has been noticed by the higher ups. Also, there seems to be multiple teams involved, not just Minions DAL.

I think the power vacuum Minas left has everyone so focused on the league that some of us made a mess in the cup.
Or at least that's my excuse hahah

However Team Scooby was for a while running a more expensive team than you and I. I know he won the cup but not sure how that's sustainable with league 2 weekly revenue.
I'm not going to comment on his case though, not looked into that myself so won't be accusing him of anything. Just stating what I noticed when I looked at the cup winner.

Like kami, I know gionut personally (we're a small group of friends...). We used to chat with jovi on a discord dedicated to the nation of Luxembourg. I know him and I can assure you that he didn't cheat and that we have no connection with this team (and future ones...).

As for the cup, I almost won it myself when I was in div2, so there's nothing shocking about that. The salaries aren't sustainable, but with a bit of thrift, it's not a problem.

As stomas said, minas left a big hole, so everyone wanted to win the championship, forgetting about the cup. The smaller teams were able to take advantage of this, and so much the better!

Yeah that's the thing, there are million of these "minion" teams that are selling players for 900k to other teams they own and gathering some war chest.
I'm not convinced though that Team Scooby is the main team behind all this just because one of those teams bought a local player from him for 1,5m.
I'd think team scooby would have gotten more money from these teams already if he was the one behind them. That's just my personal opinion though and I don't know the guy or this case very well (just what's been shown on Discord).

I absolutely agree with your words!
Gionut was the first to be astonished by the sale of bredda at this price. He has a habit of listing expensive players, above their price, in case someone buys them. And that's what happened. He regrets it, following reports of cheating. But that's the game and he did the right thing. Now it would be nice to be able to eradicate/remove this team network. I don't really see what good it would do, since they're “flagged”/monitored.

Gionut has once again made a bizarre offer for his player. He's the one who just mentioned it in our friendly chat.
And indeed, the team that has made an offer to his player seems very odd! Gionut said he was ready to make another offer on his player with his own club because he doesn't like being compared to a cheat .... This story is really suspicious, he seems to be the target of a malicious player

He made an offer or did he receive an offer?

I also think we should stop talking about this subject any further, the most essential points have been adressed and we will just talk in circles if we keep going

He has received an offer. But he talked about making an offer with his own team, to keep the player and not be accused of cheating
