Its not quite a cup run until you meet Sharman.

I guess its well that it comes to this. I will say this, facing Sharman is not nearly as scary as it was 2/3 seasons ago. Me, YC and Stunners have narrowed the gap.

Leading me to why its good to be in the Great 8 with Sharman. All of our playoffs against Sharman are a one game throw of the dice. beating Sharman 2 out of 3 is pretty tough. But one game? you never quite know.

Of course im out gunned, but i do have Sharman and his BB3 run in my favor. I pretty much know Sharman cant CT me and then recover in time for his BB3 the following week...or he can risk a CT and end up with a lower seed in the bb3.

Even with 5 wins, Sharman still sits as a 14 seed. That means 1 loss could drop him all the way out of the tourney...or put him at the bottom facing a top team on the road the first round.

So which is it going to be Flame throwers? A full effort at my house to risk a true shot at winning the BB3, or a normal on the road against the number 4 team in Nippon?

I dont have the BB3 "problem" yet, but i can imagine the calculation and double checks Sharman is facing now.

And for the rest of you guys claiming im talking down doing the big brother stuff, ill quote Jay Z...

Love it Izaman.... let the pre-match banter and mind games begin!! Mizik was a tough read because of his deadly silence...

I like the way you paint just 2 scenarios.. me Normalling or CTing..

Well my BB3 win this week means I can comfortably throw a game and still qualify. There really isn't that much between the top 32 in the world and after the field gets whittled down to 16 then its coin-flips in nearly all the games.... so by picking up 1 more win on Weds before we meet, I think you can take me as winning 1 of my remaining 2 BB3 games which with a 7-1 record means I'll be safe... so its not if I need to risk a CT, its whether you re-inforce and I need to!

Next up is normal.... this will surely mean you need to CT me no? Can you take me down with just HCA? If no then you will have to use your CT up and fall to who-ever you meet in the semi. (as i demonstrated last season... you just run out of gas at the end)

So... what is number 3 I hear you cry?! - Well I could TIE!! If I lose Weds and need to make up ground in the BB3 I might have to hand you the game on a plate so that you can be part of the even bigger plan (see below!)

The plan must be to see the victor deny YC of his first trophy...hahahahaha... its not even down to winning myself now - it must be to stop YC entering the BB3 :D

I made no claims. Did note the lil' bit of respect you paid me tho' by "Normal-ing" me... thanks.
All the best with the rest of your cup run!

Me? Quite literally, "my cup runneth over". Time to get some flags.

Pity about Shibuya biting the bullet.

Sharman...where does the hate come from? hahahahahahah
Your like the big brother who finally get out done by the little brother and instead of being happy for him..you resent him...
hahahahahaha..
BTW..I got a cartoon second place trophy lest season...hahahahah
Two week plan
Yokuzuna...normal
Albania.....TIE
Fumioff.....TIE
FCB........normal
Cup semi....Playoff normal
Cup Final( if I make it)...Playoff CT

You are right... although I poked fun at Dr. Fader - I secretly always wanted him to beat my brother :D

Joking aside... we might all have to hope Yokozuna doesn't throw down a CT at you as otherwise you, Swoosh and myself might be looking at conceding overall HCA in the JBBL!

Downside to me taking stunners out early is he'll have time to make-up games regular season, and its practically a given once interconverence is over he gets 7wins. Unless he has like Me, Yok and Uchiha all in a row or something.

Ha - gone from bigging yourself up to bigging up others now!! 1-5 says Stunners goes 7-0 v the Big 8 rabble even if he forgets to set his line up :D

Ouch. Sharman is basically saying no one on that side can even get lucky and beat stunners.

And Stunners is TIE every game over there.

Yall need to get your weight up.

Next up is normal.... this will surely mean you need to CT me no? Can you take me down with just HCA? If no then you will have to use your CT up and fall to who-ever you meet in the semi. (as i demonstrated last season... you just run out of gas at the end)

With his new big.....You might have to CT just to beat him...No matter what happens...Swoosh with his new beast just became the favorite to win the cup...
