If Best GBC Played Worst BBA, Who Wins?

Post by Trebro » Fri Apr 21, 2023 4:29 pm

Been thinking about this a lot since my main team sucks and my soon to be team emeritus is shocking everyone (including me) by topping the GBC rankings.

We know it's a lower league and that GBC players tend to struggle to a degree in BBA (probably 70 percent or so as good, for the best), and mediocre BBA players become stars of the GBC.

But what if you look at the best team in the lower league vs worst team in the higher? Theoretically, who should come out on top if we had a tournament?

You really think so? I still think worst BBA > Best GBC but not by that much.

I voted for Tokyo
I legit almost included a Tokyo option (and would have used them if they were #1), but didn't want to muddy the waters.

Possibly. The Nine are not a great total team right now, which I'm trying to fix.

Wish i could figure out how to test some theories about how bad the Nine are.

Even though I am new, I think I have a good feel for this. Jerusalem isnt that good, but we were able to beat London. So if we were able to do it, I figure a team that overall would have better players would win, even if it went to 7 games

Absolutely fascinating that the votes are basically a slight edge to the best GBC team having a fighting chance to beat the worst BBA team.
