Akuma interview continued

8. Who is your favourite player on Buzzerbeater?
A long, long time ago there was a player named Lin Jiancai. The greatest combo guard to have ever graced buzzerbeater. He was a boon, a godsend, a legend to a new team. I trained him into a 9k beast in division 4 on my first ever buzzerbeater team (not this one). He had prolific JS!!!! An amazing player that dropped 81 points in the first game he ever played. Sadly, he went off the rails and became a drug addict and alcoholic. He dropped out of Buzzerbeater and was found years later working in Woolies stacking shelves. However, rumours are he has made a comeback, in a game known as Court Rivals.....

9. Who is your favourite real life player?
Kobe Bryant. Arrogant, smug bastard. Just like me.

10. Which NBA team do you go for?
Lakers! I also like the Clippers cos I like Blake Griffin.

11. What is the plan for when you reach Div II... Fight or Tank?

Fight! I don't ever ever ever ever want to land back into 3.6 again. EVER.


Thanks for taking the time to write out those great answers. I particularly loved the bit about 3.6 = black hole. instantly my mind went to DragonZ, Reno Renegades and Richmond Tigers who have all been there soooooooo looooonnngggg!

Ok so here we spoke to Cupholdersrunmeoverphobe, or whatever the hell it is. We will go with KC. KC is the manager of Coin Collectors who are undefeated atop III.8

1. Is there a shortened version of you name or a nickname we can refer to you by because you username is too damn long?
Yeah it's a very long nickname, but I told everyone early on to call me KC.

2. What is the inspiration for your team name? are you in fact a thief who steals coins, much like mario and luigi?
I collect coins, not like general coins but limited edition australian mint coins.
and the user name is the phobia of coins... irony.

3. Are you confident your team has what it takes to win the III.8 championship and why?
Not overly confident, I'm in the best position to take it out, but i think Undefeated, Rockers, TEV and even Gold Nuggets if he can steal 4th in the final week are all very well run teams and I know GN has a lot of money.
I think If all goes to plan then yes I will keep HCA and promote to Div2.

4. Who is your biggest challenger in your opinion?
Unbeatables. (unless GN finishes 4th and buys the rest of a team)

5. Who is your favourite player on your team?
Do i have to pick just 1?
(18597594) Joaquin is amazing, he's a Defensive powerhouse and he can also shoot and pass. he has some weaknesses, (that being inside offense). but he just always plays well and trains even better.

6. What is it about the game that keeps you returning to play BB week after week?
Training pops is probably the most exciting part of the game. I used to play Diablo and WoW and those types of games, where the point is to just keep collecting better items and getting better stats.


7. There are rumours that you may be preparing to bring in a 200k salary monster. Is this likely to happen?

A 200k monster? oh deary no... I don't think that would be smart on my behalf long term.
I've seen how buying a 200k monster for playoffs can turn ugly, look at the GC Vikings, they couldn't resell their big man and have had to make a loss for an entire season because of it.
I'm likely to buy [$175k C to help dominate ID and boards. It really all depends on the TL.]

8. If you go undefeated and lost in the PO's, would it bother you that you went up by bot cleanup promotion?
No, I think going undefeated is a pretty bloody good accomplishment and alot of teams that lose in finals I think are more deserving of promotion than those that won. Of course it would be wonderful to have the trophy to go along with the promotion.

9. If you get promoted to Div II, will you fight or tank?
Tanking is always a last resort, It will take a few weeks to see who's who in the zoo, and hopefully i can get a few wins and maybe be 3 or 4 wins up before interconference starts. I wont tank, but i dont expect I'll have to "fight" too hard to atleast stay up.

cheers KC

Coin Collectors vs. Unbeatables 97 - 87 (42969466)


Have you ever noticed who is Unbeatables best player?

Hasmawi Mahmood was pick 11 in the season 11 draft by Chelsea Seagulls.


I have my finger in a lot of pies and naturally I will be cheering for my old player to take the championship.
