Eternal Commissioner of the Super League. A new avatar. A new age, of the same old embittered Smasher that failed to escape the bonds of the SL, FM3, Johnny Hopp and Eri Yoshida "The Knuckle Princess". "The flames of Smasher's ire scorch the skies... Igniting St. Bellhorn's funeral pyre."


The Super-League is about making a fake baseball team. Also, failure. It is mainly about failure. There are going to be somewhere between 40 and 50 teams competing in the two divisions of the Super-League. Exactly one of them is going to be the Super-League Champion of Super-League XXIX. Even all things being equal, your team would have something like a 2.5% chance of winning.

But that assumes that you can, at the outset, create an outstanding team that is, from day one, capable of holding its own against the established powers of the Super-League, and that is unlikely to the extreme.

In fact, odds are, your new team is going to die after a single season, culled to make room for new teams, with brighter fortunes.

The Super-League is not a game for instant gratification. It is a game of frustration, perseverance, cunning, and, ultimately, deep-seated hatred of your fellow human beings.

There, now don't say I didn't give you fair warning.



So, pick teams, do your best, and, if you want or need more advice or guidance, go to the Super-League Discord. GO THERE NOW!

Let's try and get a couple more teams. By any means necessary.
