The GBU



Record: 11-19

Predicted Finish: 4th

Actual Finish: 6th

Performance: D-


The GBU were composed of three experienced, former number one managers and two newer and less prolific managers. Two of those elite managers were borrowed from LOD who shamefully were unable to put forward a team of their own. First impressions of their team would be that the elite managers would be guiding the lesser experienced ones and that they would stand a good chance of making it into the play-offs at the very least. Unfortunately for them things didn’t work out quite that way with two of the elite managers putting in some shockingly poor performances over the course of the group stage which ultimately cost them a place in the play-offs. The biggest disappointment however was that the play-offs never got to see the best fighter at 205lbs Zane Alexander but then this was never about the individual but rather the team. This tournament will no doubt go down as a disappointing one for The GBU but we don’t doubt we will see them return one day.

Cromulent Doom


Record: 12-18

Predicted Finish: 7th

Actual Finish: 5th

Performance: C


This ragtag bunch of misfits were comprised of the dregs of the tycoon universe and were considered to have no chance of coming even within sniffing distance of the play-offs. After all was said and done, Cromulent Doom performed admirably and even managed to take home some nice little scalps from the big boys here and there. Completely avoiding their predicted last place finish, CD ended up in fifth and only one point short of a place in the play-offs. If anyone should be given the surprise package of the tournament it should be them

Evil Empire


Evil Empire

Record: 15-25

Predicted Finish: 5th

Actual Finish: 4th

Performance: C+


Evil Empire were par the course for this tournament and finished roughly about where you would have expected. Filled with managers never to have quite hit the big time, their performances reflected just that as they picked off the more vulnerable prey whilst struggling against the more elite competition involved. They did well to reach the play-offs and whilst completely outmatched in their semi-final showdown against The Stepdads, they gave FinnFighters a real scare in the third place match up and pushed them all the way to the final match. Overall not a bad run but a lot of improvement necessary to catch up with the other big alliances

Record: 5-3

Predicted Group Finish: 4th

Actual Group Finish: 3rd

Performance: B

FinnFighters



FinnFighters

Record: 22-18

Predicted Finish: 3rd

Actual Finish: 3rd

Performance: B-


The grizzled veterans of the north and MMATycoon’s oldest active alliance the FinnFighters. Not easy to assess their performance as whilst they finished as predicted, you get the feeling that they could have and should have done a little better in places. Still, a third place finish and a good run in the group stage, especially in the first few weeks. They did their best to keep up with The Stepdads there and were well ahead of YABAI for the majority of it. Easily the biggest disappointment for them will be their 4-1 defeat at the hands of YABAI in the semi-finals which lead to a tougher than expected match with Evil Empire for third place. Overall a good run for them and it was good to see them in action after all these years.

The Stepdads


The Stepdads

Record: 30-8

Predicted Finish: 2nd

Actual Finish: 2nd

Performance: A-


Packed full of talent, The Stepdads were always going to be one of the teams in the final and though predicted a second place finish, after their domination in the group stages, it really could be considered a shock that they didn’t win it. Finishing seventeen points ahead of closest rivals FinnFighters, The Stepdads had only lost a handful of times at that point and only added to that with their 5-0 trouncing of Evil Empire in the semi-finals. If the tournament was purely a league format then I doubt many would argue that The Stepdads wouldn’t be champions but it wasn’t. The play-off format has always served as the great equalisers and with all the added pressure that comes with single elimination,it is down to those taking part to rise to the occasion. Unfortunately for them, a couple of their team were surely lacking in their grand finale against YABAI and it cost them dear. Silver for The Stepdads on this occasion

YABAI



Record: 24-14

Predicted Finish: 1st

Actual Finish: 1st

Performance: A


YABAI, an absolute powerhouse of current meta talent and predicted to be the champions of the tournament before it even began. Filled with former and current number one managers, YABAI were bafflingly mediocre over the course of the early group stages and it took them a long time to get going. Finishing a massive twenty-one points behind group leaders The Stepdads at the end of the group stage and taking only third place four points behind FinnFighters. YABAI’s biggest problem was a couple of under-performing stars and it was a big wonder how this would effect them going into the play-offs. A stunning 4-1 thrashing of the FinnFighters in the semi-final gave us a flash of their brilliance and some hope that they could make a competitive finale against The Stepdads who had just defeated Evil Empire 5-0. In the end, YABAI’s talent shone through and they were able to get the win 3-2. A giant snowball that started small but continued to gain more and more momentum as the tournament drew on and now crowned best alliance in the MMATycoon 2020. Congrats to YABAI.

Thank you Albert, great analysis and on point.

 

Meh this was not the tourney to test a new build for me. Should have stuck with the cookies for such an experienced field.

 

I wish I had 2-3 testing fighter slots. Really had bad luck with my guy`s hiddens and messed up his build.

 

My biggest pride is that the team stuck together and finished together. Scotty even agreed to stay at GBU so we are very blessed and very active in the alliance chat and helping each other.

 

Wwe were happy to borrow the shark for the tourney and we had no drama even though I sucked the entire tourny.

 

Thanks again, we had a blast !

Hope we can do this again, maybe even get more interested alliances to participate next time.

 

Congrats To all the members of Yabai ;)

 

If this was to be done again today GBU would be again, a HUGE favorite to win it.

 

Just absolute domination this month in Division 1

 

http://www.mmatycoon.com/images/1537597161edited.JPG

 

We match really well manager vs manager against the wieners of season 1 YABAI ,

 

Season 2 we would summon Master Grumpy to lead us borrowed from LOD (if they again chose to not participate). Shark too if he is still game.

 

Like The Guardians would be really good to see if they merge w another good alliance to make a team. Buff and John are always on top of their game and The Rat knows his shit no doubt.

 

Having said that I don`t see anyone other than Alfred running this and he is currently busy with that MASSIVE kt so we shall patiently await and just keep getting better and better :)

 

It was such an honour participating on this, I know I went 0-6 but I wold like to think that if I had been able to TASTE with 2-3 fighter slots I easily go 6-0 against that exact same oposition. Alas, we must wait a bit and see :)
