I tried to schedule a scrim with Santiago on day 38 (so it would be able to be played today) but Havoc said he was too busy trying to get his teams ready for their finals. Understandable but still disappointing. But there's always next year. I'd like to see how that game would go.

Cratulations to the best team by far this season in WEPL. You played a great season and deserve that title.

Well done Berlin - always disappointing to lose in a Championship Game, but it's difficult to argue against it seeing as you guys have been without a doubt the best team in WEPL this season and Zeta had to win the big one again eventually

Berlin Wall?

Berlin Baller wall?

Berlin Balls?

Congrats Berlin! Well deserved. See you next season.

Congratulations. Very well done.

gratz!

Good job Berlin. Not surprising I must say.

Congrats Berlin
Enjoy it while it lasts, you now have a big target on your back

Massive congrats to Ballers.

I sat down to gameplan you guys and after 5 mins I was pressing the morphine release button

I figured we had only two options, run every down and try to keep getting 3.5 yards, eat up the clock and keep the score managable.
or just use the standard approach that got us to the final.

Probably should have gone all running as it worked well enough to do what we would have needed (ie just pick up a first down).

But watching the game I can say I'm pretty happy with the performance if not the result.

It all could have been so different, we forced a fumble in the first few mins that you recovered, and then we didnt go or it on 4th and inches, and you scored a 87.5 yard TD.

thats like a 21 point swing right there... but who the hell cares about coulda, woulda shoulda.

Ballers are the best, and deserve respect and congratulations.


Now your a little behind the truely elite in GLB right now, but your on your way and those guys have been slowbuilding since Alpha testing...

Next season I expect to see you destroying the top 50-25 teams in scrims, and making headway aginst the top 25-5.

excellent season both of you and very impressive season for the Ballers.

Way to represent WEPL!

what he said

Thanks Mike. If not for some of those things like you said it could have been a much different game. The back to back fumbles lost by you hurt too.

I expected you guys to either come out and run what you had been for a while, mix in a lot of screens, or run a lot. So I guess I had 2 out of the 3 possibilities right. I sorta gameplanned for all 3 and if I didn't think you guys would consider more running, we would have played the pass even softer than we did.

It was kind of a weird sim because I put in some new plays on both offense and defense, but wasn't sure how well either would work so I figured the D plays would be run about 30-40% of certain situations and maybe get used about 10-15 times in the game, depending on how many times the situation arose. Well, the situation came up a lot, and I think the plays got used twice. And as far as the offense went, I expected to run about 10-15 new plays and those were maybe ran twice, while some plays I had at about 5% were run a huge amount and our more frequent plays were run much, much more than I planned them to be.

As far as the Ballers against elite teams, it'll be tough. Against most good/very good teams we're fine because even though we're underleveled, most of our guys are built very very well and it allows us to beat them with a solid gameplan. But against the truly elite teams like the Yetis, they have 5-6 levels (and more) at almost all positions AND they're built very well, with a great gameplan to back it up. That makes it so hard to keep up with them. Most of our team doesn't have level 40 equip yet, and some key contributors don't even have lvl 32 equip yet. I'd love to see us if we could only have all our starters with level 40 equip. We don't even have one level 40 receiver yet.

Most of our team will hit 40 next year, but again, the bigtime teams like the Yetis and Santiago will be getting their 48 equip, so the gain is cancelled out. They have a solid 6 level advantage over us at every position and the gap will never be closed until we have to retire our players.

But we're gonna keep trying to spend every skill point as well as we can, and hopefully we'll be able to put up a good fight against those guys soon. We won't stop trying

The lowest I've seen them ranked in an individuals top 25 is 13th, they are making headway alright, however people still think the WEPL is pathetic.

Well done Berlin!
