A guide for the upcoming Copa Libertadores final between Santos and Palmeiras
Hey fellas, as some of you may know, January 30th will see two Brazilian sides deciding the next Libertadores in a single game at nothing less than the legendary Maracanã Stadium. Given that most of the sub doesn’t really follow South American football but are probably interested in such a hyped match, I thought it’d be nice to write up a little guide on the history of both teams in the competition, how and why they got to the final this year, and what players could tip the balance on such a big stage. This first part ended up way longer than I expected, so I guess it’s better to make this into a 2-part post. I’ll post the rest sometime this next week. Sorry about my poor English sometimes! Santos in Libertadores - We could have more Considering the power and fame of the 1960s Santos squad, one could expect them to have lifted continental glory more than twice in that period. After steamrolling two back-to-back Libertadores, in 1962 and 1963, the team of Pelé, Vavá, Coutinho, Mengálvio and others didn’t win another cup until 2011, with a 20-year old Neymar as their brightest star. In 1964, Pelé was injured against the Argentinian Independiente. In 1965, an upsetting defeat in 3 matches against the losing side in 1962, Peñarol, with Pelé on the pitch this time. Worth noticing that in 62 and 63 Santos also won the Club World Cup, against European champions Benfica and Milan. 1962 Santos: State, country, continent and world champions. For some years after 1965, the Brazilian presence in Libertadores was an on-and-off thing, because the country’s federation decided it would be more economically appealling to tour Europe than to play the defunded continental competition. So in 3 years (1966, 1969-70) there were no representatives from Brazil and in one year (1967) Santos declined to play, because the traveling would jeopardize their performance in the national league. So one could say Santos’ 1960s golden generation, which is to many the best team of the world in that decade, didn’t have a continental performance to match their 6 domestic titles and all the deserved international praise it used to get. After almost going all the way in 2003, but losing to a teenage Carlitos Tevez and his Boca Juniors in the finals, the Santos 2011 Libertadores run was nothing short of amazing. Passing a shaky group stage, the young team led by Neymar and Paulo Henrique Ganso showed mental fortitude to knockout the Mexican America, the Colombian Once Caldas and the Paraguayan Cerro Porteño before facing, once again, Peñarol. In all stages prior to the finals, Santos had drawed one leg and won the other one. The pattern repeated itself, as after a 0-0 in Uruguay, the Brazilian club triumphed with a 2-1 in São Paulo to become South American champions once again, 48 years later. This dude was already rocking South America with 19 years old. Palmeiras in Libertadores - Oh boy, here we go again Palmeiras is a domestic kraken. No other team has won as many national titles as the Italian descendants in green. They have 10 in total, plus 4 other runner-up campaigns. The second on that list, with 8 titles? You guessed, it, Santos. It’s common place to say that in Brazil, the national league always has at least 10 real contenders. In recent years, this has been changing with a few short dinasties popping up here and there, but througout the 20th century, each team of the “Big Twelve” has had their time to shine. Except from the late 50s to the early 70s. During this period, Palmeiras and Santos staged a two-club dinasty that saw one of them either as champion or runner up in of 15 out of 17 competitions between 1959 and 1972. The influence of these two squads was so great that, some years after this complete dominance of both teams, the Palmeiras-Santos derby was appropriately coined "The Derby of Nostalgia". Pelé x Ademir da Guia - my grandpa says they were pretty good, and he knows a lot about football. Palmeiras’ squad from the 60s, with the legendary Ademir da Guia at their helm, found much success in the earliest forms of the Brazilian national league, but disappointed when crossing the border. No Libertadores glory from that era, with runner-up runs in 1961, in a tight 1-0 loss against, you called it, Peñarol; and in 1968, when not even the 11 cup goals by Tupãzinho helped them - a 2-0 defeat in the third match against the Argentinian Estudiantes de La Plata. But unlike Santos, which had many lost decades after their golden one, only resurfacing to relevance in the last 20 years, Palmeiras was a bit more constant. After a dark 1980s, they returned to proeminence in the 90s with several great squads, mostly due to a very lucrative partnership with Parmalat. Edmundo, Evair, Alex, Oséas, Zinho, Djalminha, Paulo Nunes, César Sampaio, Júnior Baiano - year in, year out, some of the best players in the continent were seen in green. They went all the way in 93 and 94, stopping short in knockout upsets in other years. But in the hall of Libertadores champions of the 90s, you’d see many Brazilian clubs - São Paulo, Grêmio, Cruzeiro, Vasco - but not Palmeiras. They just didn’t have the mindset to win the continent? Bad luck? Pressure? It changed in 1999, under the command of Luis Felipe Scolari. After winning the domestic cup in 1998, Palmeiras qualified for Libertadores. At the time, the rules were to stack teams from the same country together - so Palmeiras had to face Brazilian champions and fierce rivals Corinthians, as well as Paraguayans Cerro Porteño and Olímpia. After winning the derby in the opening round and a assuring 5-2 triumph against Cerro, three bad games brought suspicion among the ranks - 4-2 defeat against Olimpia, 1-1 against the weak Cerro and a 2-1 defeat against Corinthians. In the last group stage game, a tight 2-1 win against Olimpia and Palmeiras was through. Ask any Brazilian 90s kid what was the best team of the decade and the answer will be a prompt \"THE PARMALAT PALMEIRAS\" 90% of the time - the other 10% will probably be Corinthians supporters. In the Round of 16, facing reigning Libertadores champions Vasco da Gama, an easy 4-2 win in the second leg. Then Corinthians again, this time in the quarterfinals. In the first leg, even though the final score marked 2-0 for Palmeiras, the goalkeeper Marcos was undoubtedly the man of the match, with a memorable performance. He had been filling for Palmeiras icon Velloso, who injured himself back in the group stage. In the second leg, Corinthians returned the 2-0, but Marcos once again was heroic, defending a penalty kick by Vampeta and carrying Palmeiras through the semifinals, against River Plate. After losing in Argentina, a 3-0 win in São Paulo with a great performance by a 21-year old Alex. After 31 years, Palmeiras was playing a Libertadores finals, against the Colombian Deportivo Cali. Palmeiras lost the first leg 1-0 again, and won the second 2-1, taking the match to another penalty shootout. With two misses by the Colombian side, Palmeiras was continental champion for the first time in its history. A historic duel HYPED UP AS FVCK. This is a derby that has been played since 1916. Given the historical importance of both clubs in the Brazilian football history, I’m very excited for this match. Both teams flew under the radar of the bloodthirsty Brazilian sports press for the most part of the year (more on this on the next post), but after the semifinals they both seem like good picks for a betting man. From a historical standpoint, Santos is trying to cement their past 20 years of relative national and international success and show everyone they are not a club made of past glories - they often get picked on for not being from the city of São Paulo and not having a big fanbase as their rivals. They’re usually quoted as “every Brazilian’s second team”, a lovable, harmless club to cheer for if yours isn’t playing. Palmeiras, on the other hand, needs to start winning South America and build on their already colossal domestic legacy. And, who knows, maybe end once and for all the general banter in Brazil, that they don’t have a Club World Cup!
The plan is simple: Replace all of PSG’s pampered and overpaid squad with some English grit and determination. Who needs the likes of Neymar & Mbappe when you could have Andros Townsend & Jonjo Shelvey? Thiago Silva? Run that name through google translate and you get Phil Jones. And who could forget free transfer Daniel Sturridge? Cavani will be the first out the door when Sturridge signs. All I need to do is avoid getting sacked. So I need to balance by pursuit of the entire England team with good results on the field. And eventually I will need to somehow sell Neymar & Mbappe without incurring the wrath of the fans and/or board. First Summer transfer window. IN

So, that’s half my pre-season friendlies sorted for next year. Easily won the Trophee des Champions 3-0 vs Rennes. 2 Marquinhos goals and an OG. Leading into the new season, I told Marquinhos that I was going to replace him as Vice Captain. He was fine with it. I picked Jordan Henderson as my new Vice Captain. Thiago Silva is still the main man... for now. There are rumblings of a possible takeover. Could I be sacked before England FC has the chance to win the French League? The bookies have me at evens to win the league. EVENS? If I could I’d bet the entire transfer budget on that. Evens? I’m PSG with Jack Wilshere. I’m basically unstoppable. 3 days before the opening league fixture, Jack Wilshere tore his ankle ligaments in training. I am Jack's complete lack of surprise. Good thing I didn’t make that bet. With Jack out I’ll have to rely on the likes of (check’s squad list) Neymar for creativity. Won the opening game of the season 2-0 against Strasborg. This included Ben Chilwell scoring a screamer into the top corner from 25 yards and a Neymar tap in. Jude Bellingham also became PSG's youngest ever player as he started in midfield. I forgot to mention that I am also hiring lots of English staff members. Terry Butcher is managing my reserves. Paul Ince, Teddy Sheringham, James Beattie and Tony Adams are coaching my youth team. Les Reed is my director of football. David Platt is coaching the first team. I’ve also got English physios and fitness staff, but I can’t be arsed to look up their names. 2-0 again in the next game, this time away to Marseille. For the 2nd game running Ben Chilwell scored, followed by a tidy finish from Jordan Henderson. I'm currently playing with a half English team in the outfield. Fullbacks, CM, AM and Striker are all English. The wingers, centre backs, 1 CM and keeper are all non-English. Daniel Sturridge sits on the bench… brooding. 1-0 next up against Montpellier. Chilly Willy's run of scoring came to an end as Neymar bagged the only goal of the game. On the downside Mbappe pulled his ankle ligaments and will be out for a couple of weeks. More rumblings of a take over. The PSG owner rubbishes these rumours. Looks like he’s behind England Rangers and their plans to restart the 100 years war. 4-1 win away to AS Saint-Etienne. A hat trick for Neymar along with Mason Greenwood's first goal for the club helped to mask the pain of finally conceding for the first time this season. Keylor Navas really shat the bed trying to pass out from the back. I can’t help but think that Jordan Pickford would have kept the sheets clean. UCL Group drawn. The Media describe my group as “Tough” as I am drawn against Valencia, Napoli and RB Leipzig. I don’t include Herrera or Munier in my UCL squad and they are both unhappy. I tell them to shut up and drop both into the reserves. Neither apologises and both are sulking. Luckily nobody in the squad likes them so nobody cares. One of my young midfielders breaks his back whilst lifting weights. I think Jack Wilshere was giving him pointers. Jordan Henderson scores his first ever international goal in his 53rd cap. I can’t help but feel that is entirely down to my coaching. Jack Wilshere is back in light training. Verratti, Neymar & Mbappe score in a 3-0 demolition of Toulouse. Henderson bags an assist. Daniel Sturridge still can’t open his account for PSG. First UCL game is next up. Valencia at home. Verratti and Neymar are both suspended. I seem to remember this being to do with their reactions to losing in the knock out stages to Man U in the previous season, following that ridiculous penalty decision given against… Kimpembe? I refuse to look it up to verify. That’s the past. This is the present. Neymar is replaced by Angel Gomes for his debut. That’s easy enough. However, the lack of Verratti and with Herrera rotting away in the reserves, I may be forced to play Wilshere before he’s fully fit… but since he’s never ever ever been fully fit, this seems like the right thing to do! Boom! We smash Valencia 2-0. Wilshere setting up Greenwood with a defence splitting through pass, and Tavernier crossing to the edge of the box for Henderson to drill home. Wilshere had to be subbed off at half time since he’s Jack Wilshere. Still. 1 game. 1 assist. I am fully justified in signing him. Big game up next vs Lyon. 1st vs 2nd. For a game like this I need my top players. Wilshere is getting his league debut. Verratti will have to be happy with a spot on the bench. Oh. Kehrer is set to play against me for the first time since I sold him. Apparently there is “no love lost” between us. I’d honestly forgot I sold him to Lyon. I tell the media that his was a shitbag and nobody liked him here. A superb come from behind victory for The Englishmen! After trailing to an early penalty conceded by Silva, we turned things around to win 2-1 with goals from Mbappe and Marquinos, assisted by Maddison and Chilwell. Wilshere once again managed 45 mins of football. And that shitbag Kehrer didn’t even play. Damn. Marquinhos is suspended for a game after 3 bookings in his last 10 matches. I didn’t know that was how the French League did things. Interesting. Chuopo-Moting dislocated his jaw in training. I can only assume that Jack Wilshere was trying to teach him how to eat a Cornish Pasty in one go. Holy crap. I almost lost to Metz! 2-0 down going into the final quarter of the match. Needed a 91st minute equaliser from Neymar to avoid defeat. Still, unbeaten so far. I really need some English grit to toughen my central defence. Silva is good and all, but he’s no John Stones. Before every single game: Jack Wilshere may struggle to see out the match. I know. He’s Jack Wilshere. We beat Angers 3-1 with Tavernier (pen) and Angel Gomes both bagging their first goals for the club. Neymar gets the 3rd off the bench. Gomes gets the MOTM award to go with the goal. Napoli away next. Wilshere set to start his 5th game in a row for probably the first time in his whole career. Neymar is still suspended, so Gomes will be able to build on his man of the match performance with another start. The board have announced that they have decreased the percentage of transfer revenue available to be retained from player sales to 75%. What the fuck? I’M PSG!!! I want 200% of all sales to go back into the transfer kitty. We beat Napoli 2-0 with goals from Greenwood and Marquinhos. Greenwood set up Marquinhos by heading a corner back across goal to him, whilst Wilshere set up Greenwood with another great defence splitting through pass, just like the Valencia game. Wilshere lasted 63 mins this game, having been subbed off at half time of every previous game. Still, those 63 mins were enough to win him the MOTM award. Go Jack! Side quest unlocked: Somehow get Jack Wilshere back into the England squad. Wilshere is grateful for my faith in him. Aw, Jackie. I love you too, boo. The Montpellier manager says that PSG are amongst the favourites to qualify for continental football this season. No shit Sherlock. Wilshere didn’t make the latest England squad. No worry Jack. Next time it’s a friendly I’ll pull Madison and Henderson from the squad. Then maybe you will make it? Or plan B, wait for Southgate to get fired then apply for the job. Gomes keeps his place in the team, meaning that Neymar is on the bench for the 2nd league game in a row. We beat Amiens 2-0 away, with goals from Henderson and Mbappe. Wilshere picked up a booking before being subbed off . Still, no injury. That rejuvenating Parisian tap water is doing wonders for the boy! International break. I give Wilshere a week off. I’m worried that if he trains his knees may fall off. Meanwhile, Maddison gets his first international goal. More takeover rumours. I guess Wilshere is interesting possible investors. The week’s rest did the trick! This is the first game he’s started where I haven’t been told that Wilshere “may struggle to see out the match”. My medical staff are certainly earning their wages. Wilshere lasted the full match as an 87th minute James Tavernier penalty scraped us a 1-0 win at home to Nantes. That’s 10 in a row unbeaten in the league, with 28 points from a possible 30. Frank Lampard was spotted at the game. Apparently he is interested in signing Marquinhos. This could be a good way for me to sign Fikayo Tomori and/or Reece James. Watch this space… Next up: RB Leipzig away. Tavernier and Mbappe have developed a solid green link down the right side. This was unexpected. As was the result. RB Leipzig 4-6 PSG! A hat trick for Mbappe, 2 for Greenwood and 1 for Neymar. The defence was an absolute shambles this game. Luckily the attack bailed them out. I really need a couple of Englishmen to replace those 2 Brazilians in the centre of defence. HOLY CRAP. Gareth Southgate was spotted at Red Bull Arena, casting an eye over basically half my team for the upcoming internationals. Jack Wilshere’s name is included among the players he was watching. GO JACK! Next up we beat Lille 3-2 away. Take a quick 2-0 lead through Neymar and a Tavernier penalty. Switch off and it’s 2-2 at half time. Spend the entire second half throwing everything at them and finally in the 87th minute Tavernier pops up at the back post to tap in the winner. 2 goals for my right back. Not too shabby. Side quest unlocked: Get James Tavernier his first England cap. This might be too difficult. Ahead of him he has Trent, Walker, Wan-Bissaka, Trippier & James. Heck, Tavernier never even got any youth caps for England. Still, if he keeps on playing as well as he does then even Gareth “I only pick players on form but actually fuck that let’s keep playing Pickford and Maguire even though they are having the worst seasons of their professional careers IRL” Southgate can’t ignore him forever. Keylor Navas is injured. For absolutely no reason I set about signing 32 year old (and 1 time England U21 international) Ben Alnwick on a free. PSG gain another sponsor. This is a 1 season deal worth £29m with a “European telecommunications company”. Totally not a FFP get around. Not at all. I ask the board for more transfer funds. They say no. I whine like a little bitch. They give me £75m. Nice! With the new funds available, Director of Football Les Reed recommends Sadio Mane as our top transfer target. Fuck that. I’m buying John Stones! I have completely fucked up with a rookie mistake. With Navas injured, I forgot to stop Rico playing for the reserves. Now I’m about to play Brest (snigger) at home and both my keepers can’t play. With the Alnwick transfer yet to be completed, it looks like I’m going to have to rely on a 20 year old Pole called Marcin Bulka. Relegation zone Brest manage to put 2 past him, but my attack get 3 to scrape a 3-2 win. Well, I say attack. Maddison, Sarabia and Tavenier (another penalty) get the goals. Mbappe and Wilshere (nooooooooo) pick up injuries in the game. Mbappe will miss 4-6 weeks with a twisted ankle, whilst Wilshere will miss just a few days with a bruised thigh. This does mean he will miss the RB Leipzig return fixture in midweek. Ben Alnwick joins the club. I tell the press that he will be a massive boost to the entire squad. I quickly arrange a midweek friendly for the reserves so that he can get some game time before the weekend fixture in the league. I move every keeper (5?!) from the reserves into the first team to make sure that Terry Butcher has to play Alnwick. I’ll have to play Rico in the UCL, since I can’t register Ben… yet. At home against Red Bull Leipzig we cruise to a 4-2 victory. A brace from Neymar, another open play goal for Tavernier, along with a goal for Greenwood wrap things up. I’m still concerned by my centre backs though. They need some English heart replace the Brazilian skill. That win qualifies us from the group. So some players get bonuses paid. Including Alfonse Areola (snigger) who is on loan at Real Madrid. You still have to pay bonuses to players who aren't at the club? DAMN YOU GARETH SOUTHGATE. He calls up Chilwell, Henderson and Maddison. Poor Jack and Jim. They feel so unloved. Alnwick keeps a clean sheet for the reserves. That’s enough for me. 2 training sessions and 1 reserves game since the end of the previous season is enough to earn him a start at the weekend against 5th placed Nice. GOD FUCKING DAMMIT. I forgot to put the reserve keepers back in the reserves squad, so Ben Alnwick played for the reserves today. Now he can’t play against Nice. I’ll have to play Johnny Rico (totally setting that as his nickname now) again. On the plus side at least Wilshere is back. We absolutely smash Nice 3-0 away. An OG, another Tavernier penalty and a Verratti goal. Wilshere lasts the 90 and bags a MOTM award for his troubles. I send Henderson, Chilwell and Maddison on holiday for a week just before they are supposed to join the England squad in the international break. Fuck you Southgate. Pick Wilshere you bastard. I also send Neymar, Marquinhos and Thiago Silva on holiday for a week, but that’s just for shits and giggles. That’s the defence sorted! Once the January transfer window opens I’ve got John Stones, Rob Holding and Jordan Pickford all joining the club. That’s a Champions League winning line up if ever I saw one. Looks like Marquinhos, Navas and Thiago Silva will either have to leave or enjoy being benched. Gaylord Kitenge is 12 months away from being homegrown. His parents are mean. More takeover rumours. My owner quashes them. He is (not) quoted as saying that he is 100% behind his visionary manager and King Wilshere. For no reason at all I am now training Ander Herrera as a left back. Double intensity. Ah. The “send them on holiday” scheme didn’t work. They still played for their countries. Dang. Neymar is hotly tipped to win Foreign Player of the year. He is up against the likes of blah blah blah and James Tavernier! Next game is home against Dijon. Let’s see if Ben Alnwick can cut the mustard (snigger). Another James Tavernier penalty as we beat Dijon 2-1. They managed 2 shots on target all game, and one of them went in. I am starting to think that Ben Alnwick is not the super human shot stopper that I bigged him up to be. Oh, that was our 10th win in a row. That’s a new record for PSG. I’ve sent half my first team on holiday for a week. They need a rest and since I’ve already qualified I’ll just play the likes of Verratti against Valencia. You know. Reserves. Man U turned down my bid of a friendly in exchange for Phil Jones. I thought it was a more than fair offer. Holy crap. We beat Valencia away 1-0, despite resting the entire outfield apart from Henderson. Both fullbacks were 17 year olds from the youth team. There’s only 1 explanation for it: Jordan Henderson is an amazing captain who led his troops to victory. It has nothing to do with the Valencia red card. Ander Herrera has had a change of heart and no longer wants to leave. Tough titties mate. You’re a left back now. Train harder! Nimes are brushed aside 2-0 away. Mbappe and Sarabia score. This takes us on to 12 wins in a row. November ends. The board rate my performance as a B. What the fuck? I have literally won every single game and we are playing attacking football. Apparently they aren’t happy with Ben Alnwick’s signing. Fair point. We are on course to pass the financial fair play regulations. Lol Reims are demolished 6-0 at home. Another 2 goals for MOTM Tavernier (1 penalty, 1 from open play), Henderson, Sarabia & 2 for Mbappe. That’s 13 wins in a row. Idrissa Gueye has handed in a transfer request. I think the fact that I forgot he even existed may be partly responsible for this. I accept the request. James Tavernier is currently the joint second highest scorer in the league on 9 goals. DID YOU HEAR THAT SOUTHGATE? Call him up. Monaco are smashed 3-0 away with an Icardi hat trick. On the down side Chilwell has reached his yellow cards limit whilst Neymar has sprained his ankle and is out for 3 weeks. When’s his sister’s birthday again? Home game against Napoli to round off the UCL group stages. I’m going to rest everyone. Pre-match Gattuso tells the press how much he admires me. I tell the press that Gattuso is a wanker. I still remember him headbutting 100 year old Joe Jordan in the face. My fans are confident ahead of the Napoli game. They haven’t seen the team yet… and I still win 2-0. MOTM Angel Gomes and Paplo Sarabia with the goals. This result was enough for Red Bull Leipzig to leapfrog Napoli and qualify 2nd in the group with 9 points and a goal difference of -2. They are one of 2 teams to qualify with a negative goal difference, the other being Dinamo Zagreb. I am one of 2 teams to qualify with 6 wins out of 6, the other two being Tottenham and Chelsea. Bordeaux are swept aside next. 3-0 at home, with goals from Greenwood, Mbappe and Henderson. That’s 16 wins in a row in all competitions. Ander Herrera has handed in a transfer request. I guess he doesn’t like being in the reserves and being trained as a left back. I accept the request. I draw Ajax in the UCL first knock out round. That’s a very winnable tie for Wilshere & co. Meanwhile, Liverpool draw Real Madrid and Juventus draw Bayern Munich. Next up is the Coupe de la Ligue BKT game vs Amiens at home. I will be fined £6.5k if I don’t pick 7 players in the squad who have played in at least 1 of my last 2 competitive games. Interesting idea, but a fine like that means nothing to me. I was going to rotate everyone to intentionally incur the fine. However, 2 games ago I played my reserves vs Napoli, so I’ve pretty much played everyone in the last 2 games anyway. We absolutely steamroll them 4-0, with goals from Kimpembe, Mbappe and MOTM Greenwood bagging 2. More importantly, Ben Alnwick kept a clean sheet. Also, Bellingham becomes the youngest ever Coupe de la Ligue BKT player. Athletico Bilbao offer me £15m for Herrera, with me paying £83k of his wages every week. I tell them to stick that offer up their arse, and counter with a non-negotiable £15m and £100 per week of his wages being paid. They agree to this! Rennes frustrate us with a 0-0 draw. Despite MOTM Wilshere picking out passes left and right, the finishing was poor. The run of 17 wins in a row is halted. Still, currently unbeaten this season. The fans are reported to have hated Angel Gomes since he joined on loan. Bloody Anglophobes. That’s it for Part 1. Just entered the winter break. Next up: Part 2 - The Ballard of Rob Holding
I'm a zombie hunter with I.G.O.R. - I fought the Ghoul King Lucifer in a battle to the undeath
International Ghoul-hunters: Operation Roundtable was a long-winded name for our attempt to restructure society after its collapse. We shortened it to IGOR, and have referred to it as such ever since. The zombie apocalypse happened nearly a decade ago, and I’m old enough to remember the shock and ensuing mayhem experienced by the general populace when we saw that TV shows and movies had gotten it right all along. “Go for the head” was the word that got out. That was the only way to kill the bastards. Destroy the brain. Or at least what was left of it. Methods of infection were disputed at first, some saying even being touched by a zombie was enough to become infected by the virus. Some thought it was airborne. Others believed it was only spread through a bite. People who died of natural causes stayed dead, at least. The only ones who rose again were the people who were bit by a ghoul, we realized after some time. There didn’t seem to be any chance of infection through scratches or aerosols, which was a relief. That meant we had a chance of getting things back under control one day, if we could only thin out their numbers. IGOR came into being a few years ago, and has grown tremendously since then. We have a good chance now at taking back the world for humanity, and snatching it back from the grasp of the dead. An attempt at global government that had enough local clout and manpower to affect change across the planet. We created a global communication network, and even have a small navy and air force. It’s not much, but it’s a start. And like I say, we keep growing every day. The problem, though, is the superiors. If it weren’t for them we’d have the world back to normal, almost. But the superiors are dangerous and deadly. Able to control entire hordes of zombies telepathically. And they’ve been taking out our people one by one. Systematically destroying our new shadow government and replacing it with their own. One superior in particular has amassed a huge army of undead. We’ve come to calling him Lucifer, as he’s risen to the heights of evil power unlike anything we’ve seen before. He is like the antichrist. Raising up an army of dead to replace the living. He started out in Northern Ontario, Canada. The cold weather froze many of the zombies in the winter months, keeping them fresher, stronger. Somehow, he amassed the largest horde ever seen from what was left in the colder regions and then began to move south towards Toronto, where he set up his headquarters. Right at the top of the CN tower. For those who don’t know, that was once the tallest building in the world. It’s still near the top of the record books, especially after several of its competitors burned down following the looting and rioting post-apocalypse. Lucifer lives at the top of this giant tower, and rules supreme over the hundreds of thousands of undead who roam the streets below him. From up there, he can survey them all, and send them forth against any threats that approach, using only his thoughts. Our man is still inside, so we don’t want to blow the place up. We think he knows that. Maybe that’s why he’s keeping him there. The rest of the team is dead – Frank, Cassie, Stella, Tom – he only kept the leader. General Reed. My once-proud mentor. Now a tortured captive, only half the man he used to be. Literally, not figuratively, since the zombies ate his legs. Mentally he’s all there – we can tell this based on his writings. He’s not reporting to us directly, but it seems he’s still managing to sneak out the occasional hidden code within his writings. It appears that Lucifer has made General Reed into his publicist. The guy was always a great writer. He did our meeting minutes and whenever we needed a memo for some big-picture idea typed up he was always the one we asked to do it. So it doesn’t surprise me that Lucifer enlisted him to write up these press releases for no discernable reason, which he leaves scattered everywhere. Here’s a brief excerpt from one: “Greetings! All hail our supreme leader! The nameless one. He will carry us forth into the future with his brave and fierce lamentations. Make way for his greatness! Pffft.. yeah, okay. What else is new? The groan of the day today is: “UNNNNGGGGHHHH” And here’s a joke to brighten up this cloudy morning! Did you hear about the guy who’s addicted to drinking brake fluid? He says he can stop anytime he wants!” You get the basic idea. Just a community newsletter more or less, except nobody can read it but us and him. And I don’t mean Lucifer. Judging by his lack of awareness that he is being openly mocked in the majority of these press releases, I would say he has a cursory understanding of the English language at best. Which brings me to how we ended up being tipped off on when and where to strike. In one particular press release, General Reed filled us in on the fact that Lucifer really likes to sleep in on Sundays. He always stays up late the night before, for Decapitated Head Bowling League – every Tuesday and Saturday night. Thus we had our opening for an attack. The plan was to come in by chopper and descend to the observation deck of the CN tower. We would have to blast our way in, then rappel inside. It was the only way, since there was a few hundred thousand zombies downstairs. Hovering over the tall building, we dropped down from the helicopters on our ropes. I only hoped the sound of the rotor blades hadn’t woken the bastard up. Controlling my descent, I slowly dropped down to the window on the south side of the building. The observation deck had a ledge on the exterior, so I was able to stand on that easily and get prepared. I gave the hand signal to Reggie on my left, then to Sam on my right. We placed the explosive charges on the plexi-glass, knowing it was thick and wouldn’t break easily. My thumb went up into the air to indicate I was ready, and they pulled me back up towards the chopper. Once we were clear of the blast, I hit the detonation button. The explosion was deafening, despite my attempts to cover my ears with my hands at the last second. The intended effect was achieved, though, and we saw movement inside the building. We had our way in, but now they knew we were coming. I gave the hand signal to the team and we dropped down once again from our safe height near the choppers. As the roller clamp slid down and I got closer and closer to the building’s observation deck once again, my heart began to hammer wildly in my chest. Despite my efforts at controlling it, I knew I might die there. We had never faced anyone so unpredictable. So deadly. My feet hit the steel grate floor of the observation deck and I saw zombies milling about inside the building. We just had to hope that he hadn’t made it to the elevator yet. The blueprints showed it was not far from where he slept. I jumped through the open window and felt the air whipping around inside the place with tremendous force. It was a windy night and at this height the gales were powerful enough to knock a man off his feet. A zombie lurched out of the shadows towards me and I spun around just in time. It was a fast one, a wolf. I managed to knock his chin with the butt of my rifle but it did very little to disable the monster. His rotten teeth snapped the open air just inches from my face. His decaying skin had large sections missing which exposed muscle, bone, and subcutaneous tissue beneath. I could see his jaw snapping shut through a large hole in his cheek. Reggie came up behind him as the bastard took me to the ground with his wild and unpredictable attacks. We all try to watch each other’s backs, and Reggie was a consummate professional. He made quick work of the wolf with a thrust of his long tactical knife through the brain stem of the ghoul. General Reed began to call out from his location. We heard him and moved in that direction. Lucifer would conceivably want to use him as a human shield, so it was a safe bet they would be together. Either that or the bastard was already gone. We didn’t think he would leave without his scribe and bargaining chip. Without General Reed as a deterrent, we’d have napalmed his ass long ago. A few had suggested doing that regardless, but were eventually outvoted by the rest of the roundtable. Arthur wouldn’t have allowed it anyways, and he had the ultimate say with his veto power. Broken glass crunched beneath my feet as I moved towards the sound of Reed’s calls for help. The man sounded much different now, like he was weak and in ill-health. His strong voice now sounded tired and haggard. “Look out!” I heard Miller call out too late, and turned to see Reggie being assaulted from all angles. The floor was full of wolf-zombies, I realized too late. They were Lucifer’s elite body guards. These mutated ghouls were capable of inhuman speed and their reflexes were off the charts. Worse yet, they were sneaky. They could blend into the shadows and lie in wait for hours or days if they wanted to. Not to mention their ability to mimic normal dullard zombie behaviour, so you didn’t realize you were dealing with a wolf until it was too late, and they were already pulling out your windpipe with their teeth. Reggie was currently having that done to him. They pulled out his trachea and esophagus and gnawed on them as he gurgled and made silent screams. I took out my sidearm and shot one in the head. The other looked up at me with his face covered in gore, and he smiled intelligently. The next bullet took out his eye and he fell over, dead for good. Suddenly all the shadowy corners inside the CN tower observation deck looked like potential hiding places for ghouls. They were anywhere and everywhere, as far as we could tell. I made a hand signal to the other members of the team, and we made a tight formation, watching each other’s backs. We began to move towards the direction of General Reed once again. His calls for help were silent now, and I worried we had missed our chance. For all we knew they had snuck onto the elevator and were now down on the ground floor, escaping. I kicked in the door to the room where I believed his calls had come from. It was clearly not the right room. Ghouls were packed inside shoulder to shoulder, filling the crowded room with a horrifying smell. As soon as they saw me they lunged forward, reaching out their decaying hands toward me. I screamed and stumbled backwards, as they began to pour out of the room. There was no chance of containing them. They were soon everywhere. I began to fire my assault rifle, taking measured single shots, trying to remember my training, trying not to panic. It helped that I had been in the shit before. Worse than this, if you can imagine that. But there were dozens of them. They quickly overwhelmed my team and took them out one by one, despite their efforts to fight back. Pretty soon it was just me and a handful of zombies, lurching towards me as I picked them off with careful shots to the head. When the last one hit the ground, I figured it was time to try another door. There were only so many options. General Reed had to be behind one of them. But Lucifer was probably hiding in there too. I hadn’t heard the elevator door opening, I realized, which meant that he was most likely still up here. The next door I kicked in was the right one. I saw General Reed laying on the floor, a cold look in his eyes. His lower half was gone, and the rest of him looked thin and pale. He was shaking his head and looking at me saying, “Why did you come here? You shouldn’t have come here.” I stepped into the room and his eyes widened. Turning around, I saw the blade of a long sword swish past my face. It took off the end of my nose but I didn’t feel that until later. The adrenaline took over as Lucifer regained his balance and began to take a backswing with the blade. It looked heavy and ornate, and completely impractical. When he swung it, it threw him off balance once again, and I took my opportunity as I sidestepped out of the path of danger. He howled with rage and anger as I took hold of the hilt of the sword, attempting to wrestle it from his grasp. He was strong, but I was stronger, and began to overpower him. That was when he bit me. It was a move made out of pure desperation, and I could tell by the look on his face that he was afraid of what the consequences of this action might be. No one had ever been bit by a superior before. Until that moment. I felt the power surging through me and although I didn’t understand it at the time, my life in that moment would be changed forever. I kicked him away from me as I pulled the blade out of his hands. The flesh of my neck where his teeth were tearing it apart came loose and I swore in anger and horrified pain. The blood which poured forth from the wound was now black and tarry, and didn’t look like something which would come from a human being. I realized that was because I no longer was one. Now I was something different. Now I was a superior. My heart was no longer beating, I noticed. My skin felt cold and clammy. The elevator made a loud ding, and I heard the door open just outside the room we were in. I gave the superior another good kick to the chest and shoved him out the door just as a dozen more zombies came around the corner. “Eat him!” I shouted at them, wanting to test my new powers. They engulfed him and began to tear apart his clothing and then his flesh as he screamed and howled in pain and terror. “Go out the window! Take him with you!” I shouted at them next. My new undead servants complied, and took the bastard down to the ground floor with them, pulling him out the window as he screamed in bloody agony. Lucifer was no more. By the time they hit the ground they would all be liquefied human remains. Zombie smoothies. “What’s your status team leader?” the voice of the helicopter pilot demanded through my radio. “Package is in hand,” I said back, clipping a rope to General Reed’s belt. “Thank you,” he said weakly. “Don’t thank me until we’re home free, okay? You’ll jinx this flawless mission which has gone off without a hitch. So just keep your trap shut for now, alright?” I threw him over my shoulder and carried him to the window, stepping out onto the observation deck. From there, I made the call with the radio. We were going home. And now we had a chance at fighting back. JG
We are desiring a platform of exchange of energy and information. Free the knowledge from the creeps who steal your dollar. Bookies will eat you alive in sports played in non English speaking countries if you aren’t fluent. Even if the sport is a global game. This is why I’m so successful in Russian and Korean Basketball. I am fluent in English,Spanish, Korean, Russian and Portuguese. I’m currently tinkering with ideas around Novo Basquete currently as the 3rd league I will do regular tips on (Nearly done with a Russian Super Liga A model) However, I’m not perfect (surprising right?) and we could receive some help from some more bright individuals. Anyone is free to post their due diligence. On drugs? Cool, me too we don’t give a shit. I post all the time barred and drunk. You might not understand a word I say, but you know we don’t do bread lines we do fucking Filet mignon lines here. However, I see some good potential markets for bets just ripe for picking with good info. Maybe some Brits can help get info for BBL picks? I’m sure there has to be more local information out and about, as there is basically no real game changing info that I can readily find. People fluent in Chinese for the CBA. This is where I think the gold is honestly, even more so than the KBL, especially if they can get local news about injuries and such first. There is just such a huge barrier between China and the Western world.
I think that I found my ideal strategy after 4 years of betting PS: sorry my english is not perfect I have always loved football more than anything. even when i was younger when i watched the games i had my notebook and i would mark everything that happened in a single game and at the end of the weekend i was looking at everything i had written down and i loved the feeling of knowing what happens on the soccer fields when we talk at school with the guys. At that time I didn't know that we could bet on it , over time I knew the bets and as a youngster I wanted to make a little money so I started to bet a little I was not bad at all I knew the teams the styles of the players so I bet on a bit of everything I didn't lose money but I didn't win much either and since I wasn't winning much and it takes time I didn't see too much interest. so I would bet sometimes for periods and I stop and over time I learned a lot in 2017 I decided to take it seriously I had the flair for that so I wanted to see what its given if i focused on it i had to create a twitter account where I was sharing my bets so i had a small community that started to form it was very cool btw. over a period of several months I accumulated almost 300 bets, at one point my ROI (Return On Investment) was 6.14% which is an extraordinary result and it is at this point that I made a very big mistake I didnt have a precise strategy for betting . so I was betting on all the soccer markets (Goals, Handicap ,even Corners) and then I started to touch US sports (NBA NFL NHL) because I was intrigued by all the statistics. very quickly my ROI drops at -28% I was disgusted I was losing everything I had won even in soccer I started betting on any championship just to get back my winnings and at one point I decided to take a break I had no longer this feeling that arousing me. I haven't bet for over a year, but I still followed soccer so much. during the start of the pandemic there were no more so I missed it a lot and with the resumption of matches and all the hype I had again this desire to bet, but this time I had to make a very precise strategy with a code and rules to be respected which will prevent me from repeating the same mistakes which are fatal in a long term bankroll. In my opinion there are three aspects that allow you to be successful in betting: 1-Strategy (bankroll management) 2-Rules to follow (lessons from my own experience) 3-Analysis of games 1-Strategy (bankroll management) : we could spend hours on the different betting strategies but what matters in the end is to be in profit. to start, you have to set a starting capital and then set a precise stake for all your bets. The main goal is not to play any odds lower than 1.85 to at least double the stake every time. to reduce the risk there will be three types of bet. Simple : odd = or > 1,85 Double : two odds < 1,45 - 1,84> Triple, Quadruple, Quintuple : <1,10 - 1,54> it's not complicated with an average odd of 1.90 we need 53% of successful bets to be in profit . Once you follow the strategy you have to respect it in any case and never change the fixed stake or the odds on the types of bet at the risk of unbalancing the bankroll. To succeed with any strategy you have to be efficient on the tips and this is where the betting rules come. 2-Rules to follow (lessons from my own experience) : -Don’t bet on anything other than soccer. -Bet on the Top 5 Leagues (PL,Liga,SerieA,Bundesliga,Ligue1) and European competitions (you always find the data that you need) -Avoid the inferior divisions (too unpredictable) (poor data) -Avoid international games (Nations League, Friendly) except competitive games (Tournament, Qualifications) -Bet only on the result (Win,Double Chance,DNB,AsianHandicap+1or+2) -Avoid unpredictable markets (Goals,Corners,Cards,Scorers) -Don’t bet without analyzing a game (next chapter) Ps: if u have a question about the rules ask me for an explanation :) 3-Analysis of games : for this chapter there are two points. there is the permanent analysis and the game analysis. The permanent analysis It’s to have a general opinion on all the teams to learn daily about the players and their form, the style of the coaches, the strength and weakness of their tactics, to know the dynamics of the teams. we can improve this analysis in some ways. -Try to see as many matches as possible to see the teams. -Identify weak teams during the season. -identify strengths of teams.(tactic ability, individual performances, automatism on the field). And there is the individual game analysis when you have to check some points before betting on a game: -the latest performances. (watch games sequences) -check statistics (home away results, shots, corners ....) - probable line-ups -the competitiveness of the teams and the games - the reliability of the different tactics (defensive strength, ability of creation , finishing ....) -players Dynamic - the absence of a player who unbalances games , the reliability of the substitutes.
*SUBREDDIT EXCLUSIVE* ---> I'm a Zombie-hunter with I.G.O.R. - We fought the Ghoul King Lucifer in a battle to the death
Part 1 International Ghoul-hunters: Operation Roundtable was a long-winded name for our attempt to restructure society after its collapse. We shortened it to IGOR, and have referred to it as such ever since. The zombie apocalypse happened nearly a decade ago, and I’m old enough to remember the shock and ensuing mayhem experienced by the general populace when we saw that TV shows and movies had gotten it right all along. “Go for the head” was the word that got out. That was the only way to kill the bastards. Destroy the brain. Or at least what was left of it. Methods of infection were disputed at first, some saying even being touched by a zombie was enough to become infected by the virus. Some thought it was airborne. Others believed it was only spread through a bite. People who died of natural causes stayed dead, at least. The only ones who rose again were the people who were bit by a ghoul, we realized after some time. There didn’t seem to be any chance of infection through scratches or aerosols, which was a relief. That meant we had a chance of getting things back under control one day, if we could only thin out their numbers. IGOR came into being a few years ago, and has grown tremendously since then. We have a good chance now at taking back the world for humanity, and snatching it back from the grasp of the dead. An attempt at global government that had enough local clout and manpower to affect change across the planet. We created a global communication network, and even have a small navy and air force. It’s not much, but it’s a start. And like I say, we keep growing every day. The problem, though, is the superiors. If it weren’t for them we’d have the world back to normal, almost. But the superiors are dangerous and deadly. Able to control entire hordes of zombies telepathically. And they’ve been taking out our people one by one. Systematically destroying our new shadow government and replacing it with their own. One superior in particular has amassed a huge army of undead. We’ve come to calling him Lucifer, as he’s risen to the heights of evil power unlike anything we’ve seen before. He is like the antichrist. Raising up an army of dead to replace the living. He started out in Northern Ontario, Canada. The cold weather froze many of the zombies in the winter months, keeping them fresher, stronger. Somehow, he amassed the largest horde ever seen from what was left in the colder regions and then began to move south towards Toronto, where he set up his headquarters. Right at the top of the CN tower. For those who don’t know, that was once the tallest building in the world. It’s still near the top of the record books, especially after several of its competitors burned down following the looting and rioting post-apocalypse. Lucifer lives at the top of this giant tower, and rules supreme over the hundreds of thousands of undead who roam the streets below him. From up there, he can survey them all, and send them forth against any threats that approach, using only his thoughts. Our man is still inside, so we don’t want to blow the place up. We think he knows that. Maybe that’s why he’s keeping him there. The rest of the team is dead – Frank, Cassie, Stella, Tom – he only kept the leader. General Reed. My once-proud mentor. Now a tortured captive, only half the man he used to be. Literally, not figuratively, since the zombies ate his legs. Mentally he’s all there – we can tell this based on his writings. He’s not reporting to us directly, but it seems he’s still managing to sneak out the occasional hidden code within his writings. It appears that Lucifer has made General Reed into his publicist. The guy was always a great writer. He did our meeting minutes and whenever we needed a memo for some big-picture idea typed up he was always the one we asked to do it.

Ahoy there, fellow Free Willy enthusiasts It's your old pal Fuzzy. I'm pleased so many of you were able to pull yourselves away from ... well, pulling away at yourselves - to take the time to read and enjoy my previous post (here, if you haven't had a chance to read it yet). I don't like setting homework but unfortunately that's going to be required reading for today's exercise. I promised I'd come back to show you how to do this for yourselves using the most upvoted ticker. The most upvoted suggestion was $CCL, but they're jacked to the tits with Euro debt. I'm a red blooded patriot, and I don't want some bowtied Oxbridge douchebag coming at me about misreading tweedy fucking English law documents. I'm sorry you didn't get into Harvard, Jeeves, but don't take that shit out on me. Blame your parents for giving birth to you on a wet green rock in the North Sea instead of in the land of milk and honey. Anyway, that's the reason I don't fuck with that LMA noise. So we're doing the second most upvoted suggestion instead - $SEAS. Anyone bitching about Blackfish will get roasted (do I sound fucking empathetic to you? I ate whale on a business trip in Japan and it was delicious). I'm going to use headings so you can skip the shit you don't care about if you want to get right to the good stuff. Don't worry baby - I'll explain all the long words. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a drink, and try to concentrate for more than 5 minutes at a time without needing to take a body pillow break. If the idiots I supervise can do this, you can too. FYI - I'm doing an AMA about this post and yesterday's in the comments at 3pm ET tomorrow because I have a gap in my schedule and I told my secretary to leave it open for you retards. There isn't a TL;DR because this is a teaching exercise. You're welcome. Strap in. Brief background about me and comments on my previous post (skip if you want) The TL;DR about me - I find loopholes in corporate debt documents for money. Sometimes for goodies, sometimes for baddies, always for cash up front plus expenses and a retainer. The TL;DR for why you should give a shit - these can help you get an edge on projecting company performance when you balance them against cashflow and upcoming obligations. Today I'm going to teach you how to do this with full detail included. Yesterday we worked through a short, practical example together - $SIX. I don't have a view about that ticker one way or another and only intended to try and educate you idiots by using it as a teaching exercise. Of course, some of you went out and bought extremely OTM puts ($2 May death puts were up 4,200% this morning) notwithstanding that I specifically said I didn't have an opinion about their equity price about 50 or 60 times in the comments, and that even if I DID, liquidity crunch ain't happening for minimum 18 months. I tip my cap to you retards for taking completely the wrong message out of my post and applaud your enthusiasm for losing your own money. The spirit of this sub lives on despite the all invasion. Shoutout to u/pokimane for being the top. Girl, if you want a private session, my DMs are open. I'll tell you which stonks to buy. Anyway. Enough bullshit. Shit you'll need to play along at home (don't skip this) $SEAS 2020 10-K Amendment No. 9 to $SEAS Credit Agreement (don't try and be smart and tell me they amended again in February. I know they did - but that amendment is pretty much just a commitment upsize and I'll be calling out the differences as we go along. Just take my word for it. We're using No. 9 because it attaches the complete document and No. 10 doesn't. Here is No. 10 if you want to be so fucking fussy about it). NOTE: Some of you seemed to struggle to find the debt docs yesterday. They're not in the 10-K. They go in 8-Ks that get filed immediately following the date of the Credit Agreement. Cross-ref the dates and you're off to the races. If any of you ask me where to find a 10-K or an 8-K I will not respond and I'd politely ask the mods to ban you the fuck back to where you came from. Some music A drink $SEAS Target Review (learning about our subject) Right. So. Let's start with the 10-K to learn about our subject. Or you could just watching fucking Free Willy. This place markets killer whales as an entertainment experience. It's not an overly sophisticated beastie. Here are some core highlights from their 2019 fiscal year that we should consider. My comments are in capitals.
Attendance increased 0.2%, to 22.6 million guests from fiscal 2018. THIS OBVIOUSLY IS SHIT. ALTHOUGH I GUESS ONCE YOU'VE SEEN WILLY ONCE, A REPEAT TRIP ISN'T REALLY NECESSARY SO EXPECTING THIS TO GROW DRAMATICALLY YOY IS PROBABLY NOT SUPER REASONABLE. NEVERTHELESS, PROSPECTS FOR GROWTH BEING SLIM MEANS BAD TIMES WHEN DEBT GETS PRICEY.
Total revenue increased by $26.0 million, or 1.9%, to $1.4 billion from fiscal 2018. DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REVENUE AND NET INCOME? WHO AM I KIDDING. OF COURSE YOU DON'T. SEE BELOW.
Net income increased by $44.7 million, or 99.8%, to a record $89.5 million from fiscal 2018. REVENUE MINUS ALL LOSSES AND DEDUCTIONS EQUALS NET INCOME.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $55.6 million, or 13.9%, to a record $456.9 million from fiscal 2018. EBITDA IS A MAGIC NUMBER THAT LETS COMPANIES STACK THE DECK AGAINST BANKS USING SQUIRRELY ACCOUNTING TECHNIQUES TO PAINT A ROSIER PICTURE OF THEIR FINANCIAL POSITION THAN IS ACCURATE. DON'T BELIEVE ME? LOOK AT THE DEFINITION IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. THAT SUCKER IS LIKE 3 PAGES LONG. AND THAT'S A SHORT ONE IN TODAY'S MARKET. IT MEANS EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST, TAXES, DEPRECIATION, AND AMORTIZATION. WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU IN YOUR COMMUNITY COLLEGE BUSINESS SCHOOL IS THAT IN THE REAL WORLD THIS INCLUDES SHIT YOU DID 2 YEARS AGO, SHIT YOU HAD A DREAM ABOUT THAT ONE TIME, AND PAYMENTS TO THE CEO'S WIFE'S BOYFRIEND'S SECRET FAMILY IN OMAHA USING ADD-BACKS, CARRY-FORWARDS AND RUN RATE MECHANICS THAT DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE IN REAL LIFE. FOR EXAMPLE, LAST FISCAL YEAR THEY INCLUDED $5.5 MILLION OF EXECUTIVE PARACHUTE PAYMENTS AS AN OFFSET AGAINST CAPITAL LOSSES. YUP. YOU'RE NOT IN FUCKING KANSAS ANYMORE. WELCOME TO THE MAJOR LEAGUES.
This actually isn't too bad. The business runs at a profit (albeit a skinny one boosted by an outlier year) and is growing slowly. The bat-flu, however, is a major fucking spanner in the works. Zero attendance means zero sales. If you're $SIX, you close the park. But because $SEAS' businesses involve live animals, they can't just shut it down even though they can't sell tickets. And it's not like they can throw Willy in with the dolphins and expect them to play nice. They've got ongoing upkeep costs for shark food, dolphin poop tank cleaning, fucking whale vets. What does this mean? Say it with me now. Negative cashflow. Ding ding ding. These are magic words to people like me. Smells like opportunity. If you're interested, keep digging in the 10-K. It's a rabbit hole without a cute blonde and a white bunny at the end, so YMMV. But right now what you need to know is that they probably don't have much free cash (they've been clearing ~4.0% profits for the last decade pre-2019). They also spent 84,178,000 on interest expense last year. Their debt is not that pricey but there's a lot of it. This is a good segue. $SEAS Debt (The hard part) Before we get started, don't get your panties in a twist. Debt isn't bad. That's an assumption a lot of people make. Debt can be great (even when it's expensive). It's only bad when (1) you can't afford it or (2) you won't be able to afford it SOON - meaning you shouldn't have had it in the first place. Your job now is to figure out three things. (1) What kind of debt structure do they have? (2) How much money do they have to pay to service it? and (3) Could they get more if they needed it? The answer to question (1) is in the 10-K. CTRL+F Credit Agreement. Read a couple of lines down. Check there's nothing else. Bingo - we're in luck. No bonds. Less work for you. Reward yourself with a sip of that drink. Congratulate yourself on getting this far. Your mom and I are very proud. Now on with the show. $SEAS have a $1,523,389,000 term loan due March 31, 2024 and a $332,500,000 revolver due October 31, 2023. They upsized the revolver by $100m in Feb. Bet that bank has buyer's remorse now. Anyway. Teaching moment: The difference between a term loan and a revolver is that a term loan gets paid to you 100% up front and gets paid 100% back at the end. Normally it's for 7 years - this one is a bit shorter. This is sometimes called a 'bullet' loan. You pay interest on the loan plus 'amort' - this is mandatory interest payable on the whole lot at the end (typically 0.25%). A revolver isn't just a prop in a Clint Eastwood movie. It's like a corporate credit card. You can draw as much as you like and then pay it back - and then you can borrow it again. A unique feature of revolvers is that you can also draw either in cash or letters of credit (like a performance guarantee issued by a bank in favor of a third party on your behalf - you pay extra interest and an upfront fee for the privilege). Normally the credit agreement lasts for 5 years. Check the definition of "Maturity Date" to find out when these are due. Now, according to the 10-K, they've got $20 mill in L/Cs drawn plus $50m odd drawn in cash. This leaves $250m or so left in that facility to take out of the great big shark-shaped ATM in the lobby if they need to. At the moment, a shitload of corporates are tapping their revolvers to help with cashflow problems, and I bet $SEAS is no exception. This means they've got wiggle room if they get squeezed. Good to know. Banks can sometimes try and stop you from doing this when there is bad shit in the market (this is called a "material adverse change" or "Event of Default" blocker and you can find it by googling either of those terms in Section 2 of the Credit Agreement, which deals with borrowings) but it would be pretty ballsy of their lenders to pull this 4 weeks after they had no problem giving them an extra $100 mill, so I think we can write that prospect off. Let's talk about (2). Pricing. I'm not going to explain LIBOR to you because it'll go away soon anyway but for our purposes what you need to know is that whenever you see an "L+" in a pricing grid it means LIBOR PLUS the number after it. In this case, they're paying L+300 basis points for the term loan and L+275 basis points for the revolver, with a sliding scale based on their credit rating. Let's assume it's L+275. Find this under the definition of "Applicable Margin". This accounts for their great big interest expense. It's payable quarterly, so they're going to be stung, but they'll be able to get through it - they are probably paying about $20 mill a quarter in interest and like we said above, they've got at least $250m to play with if they need to. That said, if the parks don't reopen for more than another quarter, this could get ugly fast. More money drawn means more interest payable. So now we can look at (3). Can they get more debt from other lenders? Here's the tricky part. NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Remember, the rule with these documents is you can't do anything EXCEPT. So we need to find the exceptions to incurring additional debt. These live in the 'Indebtedness' sections of the negative covenants in the Credit Agreement, which are nearly always in Section 7. Normally debt lives in 7.03. Found it? Good. Let's see what they can do. Teaching moment. Lots of you asked yesterday how they could incur extra debt from *other banks* even if they're allowed to - why a bank would want to lend money to a bad company or a company heading into troubled waters. The answer is simple: money. Higher risk lending means they can charge a higher price. And remember, they're going to immediately de-risk by selling the debt to someone else. Literally can't go tits up for them (until it does for the bagholder, but that's someone else's problem). Back to the technicals. Covenants have dedicated 'baskets'. Each one of those little paragraphs is a different exception and they can use most of them independently of each other. Some are for normal shit - like sale leasebacks or whatever. Some are more general. That's what we're looking for. Sometimes there's even a provision which lets you mix and match the baskets when you run out of room in one by using the extra in another. This is called "reclassification" and is for our more advanced students to worry about. Find it by CTRL+F "reclass". hint: $SEAS has this feature. Anyway. Job 1 is finding the 'freebie' or 'unconditional' basket. It's normally the shortest one and says something like "Aggregate Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in an amount to not exceed $X". Ours is in 7.03(m). It's $175 million. That's good! The other key basket for general use is called incremental or accordion debt. We talked about this yesterday. This bit is much more complicated. Here's the explainer. This is debt incurred at a similar level of seniority which is taken to be treated the same way as the credit agreement debt in terms of priority. They get all the benefits of the protections without the need to stress about being part of the original bank group. Banks don't like this - borrowers LOVE it. You get a limited amount of this. It's often called an 'Incremental Cap', an 'Available Amount', or - as in this case - a 'Cumulative Credit'. You get a starter basket - a set figure - then you get rewarded by getting more in this bucket as your performance improves in other areas. These are the 'builder amounts'. Look in the definition to see what I'm talking about. Anyway. Here they get $325 million to start with, plus whatever else is available in the cumulative credit definition. From the 10-K explainer they don't have any other incremental debt, so we can assume that this is fully available. CTRL+F "incremental" in the Credit Agreement to learn more. TL;DR? $SEAS can incur a shitload of additional debt. Cashflow secured, right? Wrong. Financial Covenants (Extra credit) A financial covenant is a special rule that says you need to keep a certain ratio - measuring some kind of fiscal performance - in line with a set figure, or lenders can call in the debt and make you pay it all back at once. Now, most of the time, these don't apply to term loans in 2020, just revolvers, and that's the case here too. Just CTRL+F "Financial Covenant" to find it. In today's market, covenants aren't 'fixed' like they used to be though (that is, apply all the time). Instead, they're 'springing' - they get keyed off a certain event - like tapping too much of a revolver (here, it's 35%). Found it? Good. For $SEAS, it says that they're not allowed to go above a 6.25:1.00 First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio. This means the ratio of their debt to their EBITDA can't go above 6.25x (this is what 'leverage' is - no, not what your wife uses to get you to do her boyfriend's laundry) - or they'll need to pay back their revolver. This causes something of a domino effect - the revolver getting called in would mean the TL lenders could call the TL in (this is called a 'cross-default'). So they need to be careful with the revolver covenant compliance. What does this mean? Use your noodle. Would they rather tap excess revolver and risk covenant breach, or just go out and get spicey incremental debt? Probably the latter. That's going to be expensive. They're going to get into some dire straits quickly if they can't reopen. And where does that $1.5bn in repayments come from? What does this mean for the ticker? Again, use your fucking noodle. I don't give advice for free. TL;DR (Can't help those that won't help themselves) SPY $69 4/20 blaze it. Read Under the Volcano. Good luck out there autists.

WEALTH MillionaireBecome a millionaireMy Second MillionAchieve a net worth of $2m Now that we have Royalty and Sports, this is a lot easier. Traditionally, if you're hot (95%+), drop out of high school and get your GED ($1k, you can do that in a couple years of dog walking/freelance gigs) and wait for a singer or actor career. If not, work hard in school and go to the gym often. Check your parents' stats and if they're generous make sure you pass your drivers test (maybe even ask if you can get a nicer one! immediately sell your car, they lose value fast) and take a martial art. It's much cheaper if they pay for it ($1K per tier in some countries) and gets you in good shape. If you're athletic, grind at a sport from middle school onwards. If you're not, try some athletic-adjacent clubs and go to the gym and for walks often. Pets count as additional walks which you can take from age 8+. When you're in good shape you can get a soccer scholarship (which can become a/)or a professional sports contract. More sports tips below, same with other careers.

Always work 5 more hours a week than required and compliment your supervisor if their coolness is high. Sleep with people in Hollywood (bosses coworkers etc).

Varhesh, Shimmering Abberation - Tier15 Terrace Map, each time the boss lower it's 5% life will spawn blue little bubble that cause player to take cold degen name "Fearful" if touched it, so just avoid those bubble by running around the arena while killing it. BUG: Minions can't be touch by these bubbles or else you'll fail the challenge
Enticer of Rot - Tier14 Spider Forest Map, when the main boss life reach 50%, she will spawn Avatar of Rot's from the huge boiling pot. Then what you have to do to complete this challenge is deal more damage to her till low life, then only attack her offspring Rot's, you can kite it away from her because of her offspring is a melee but she isn't so she won't chase you down when you're killing her offspring. So when her offspring is dead, instantly go back to her then kill her.
Lady Stormflay - Tier12 Ghetto Map, the boss lightning strike skill have "Curse Vulnerability on Hit", so when the boss at low life, try get hit at least once by her lightning strike to get her curse then kill it instantly, also remember not to use your "curse remove" flask to avoid failing this challenge. This challenge also works with map that contain "Players are cursed with vulnerability" modifier.
Piety the Empyrean - Tier14 Shrine Map, when the boss enter a red portal, she will turn into Fire Form that have "Curse Piety's Rage on hit" effect from her melee attacks.

Normal. These challenges makes the boss a bit tricky to do, and much harder because have to do them in high tier maps, try invite experience player if you're build aren't capable to do them. Click the link on their name to learn their fight mechanic.
31. Complete Simulacrum I
Hard. Simlacrum requires a really good build to beat it because of tremendous degen-damage deal from the mob and the delirium boss(11th wave), also the chance of IMPALE from monster ... I'll suggest to invite/join highly-capable player to finish the map for you.

Bestiary Crafting with Craicic Vassal beast
Normal. Pretty much an RNG challenge from doing corruption, but doing 12 out of 15 is actually sounds pretty fine just skip the temple atzoatl crafting option(2) then the rest of the others option should be pretty cheap and easy to get.
33. Complete Encounters VI
Defeat a Possessed Rogue Exile Can be done easily by activating "Anarchy's End IV" or "Deadly Rivalry III" prophecy.
Exchange 5,000 Perandus Coins with Cadiro Perandus This challenge exist before during sysnthesis league but in a bad situation because of how hard we can access the perandus mechanic during that time .... now with perandus available from Zana's map device, this challenge should be achievable even with this big amount, just be careful with scammers when buy this services/coins.
Defeat a Bestiary Boss To do this challenge just buy any cheap unique beast(Saqawine Rhex, Craicic Spider Crab, Fenumal Hybrid Arachnid, or Farric Tiger Alpha) then spawn in ur blood altar, complete the fight in their lair then you'll complete this challenge, or hunt them yourself. here's the details:
Saqawal, First of the Sky - It's recipe require Saqawine Rhex that only appears in Tier 5+ maps. This DINOSAUR boss not that dangerous but try don't stand in the tornadoes, they hurt more than anything else in the encounter
Craiceann, First of the Deep - It's recipe require Craicic Spider Crab that only appears in Tier 7+ maps. This CRAB boss same like bird boss are just loot pinatas tbh, haven't seen them alive long enough to do anything.
Fenumus, First of the Night - It's recipe require Fenumal Hybrid Arachnid that only appears in Tier 10+ maps. This SPIDER boss deal a lot of chaos damage, so bring chaos resist flask, and dont stand in the stuff on the ground.
Farrul, First of the Plains - It's recipe require Farric Tiger Alpha that only appears in Tier 13+ maps. This TIGER boss deal a lot of phys damage, so bring phys reduction flask, bleed immunity flask and dodge the stampede.
Defeat Atziri in the Temple of Atzoatl Kinda hard to spawn her in the temple, but should be fine now because this challenge is share-able now, which means you can join other player's temple that have her spawning in their temple to get the kills challenge. Unlike in the old days(incursion league) this type of challenge can't be shared ... have to done this challenge by your own temple which is really hard and RNG-gated.
Normal. These challenge are pretty achievable ... just require a bit RNG to get find them.
34. Defeat Map Bosses(40/40)
Hard. This seems another big improvement from previous league map grind challenge(1,500 map bosses), tone down to 500 map bosses with a condition, have to kill them under the delirium effect. You can farm map that have multiple bosses such as Arena Map, or Courthouse Map and so on ... the best one will be Precinct map because of it contain 4~5 bosses as long they're in delirium effect, could try make use of DEADLY TWINS prophecy. Also try make use of Delirium Orb on map to have a permanent delirium effect until the boss room, so that you won't have to backtrack finding delirium-mirror encounter at start of the map then run till the end to the boss room ... Hopefully GGG will fix this soon, will update again if they make any QOL changes on this.
35. Complete Unique Maps
Normal. Do 15 out of 19, with the help of The Encroaching Darkness divination card, this challenge will be slightly easier to complete as you keep grinding end game maps collecting this cards. Even your RNG is sux collecting these card, you could buy some of the unique map at here, most of the unique map are quite cheap. The least 4 favorite unique map I would skip is ... Hall Of Grandmaster(hard), Perandus Manor(very expensive), The Putrid Cloister(expensive), and Doryani's Machinarium(expensive) depending whose the 4th expensive map is =D
First 4 watchstones is from doing the maps at the corner region of your atlas. When you do your first map in those region, the conqueror will spawn in say something to you then portal back out, then your map will fill with the conqueror adds, and also in atlas UI that region will be colored depending of the conqueror. After u do 2 more map(must be different), then Kirac NPC will have a quest for you asking you to talk with Zana open the map for you that can fight with the conqueror itself. Repeat this process in 4 other corner region to get the first 4 watchstones.
Next 16 watchstones is from doing a region of map with their condition fulfilled. Previous 4 doesn't need condition that's why the conqueror can spawn. To know what's their conditon to spawn them, you can mouse over your watchstone invetory slots then it will show what it need and also highlight the region that the slots represent. With enough watchstone socketed in your citadel, the conqueror will spawn in if you run their appropriate map tier in that region 3 times(can't run other tier even is the same map). And after you got your 12 watchstone, Zana will invite you to kill Sirus, Awakener of Worlds boss.
Last 12 watchstones is pretty much the same with previous phase except this time conqueror will have CHANCE to spawn in after complete a map with their influence in a region, instead of previous phase gurantee spawn after 3 maps. Also now u can now farm conqueror by spawning them again to farm their influenced item but not their wathcstone(if obtained already). Side note, to get a citadel in a region you have to find them just by clearing any map till the boss open a portal which brings you to a small room with zana and an altar at the middle of the room, click the altar then you'll unlock citadel in your region.
Normal, this quest is all about killing Sirus, Awakener of Worlds which is when you collected 16 watchstones from conquerors of the atlas. Just invite experience player to help you kill Sirus if you're build aren't capable to do it after spawning the boss.
37. Complete Simulacrum II
Complete a wave of monsters which spawns two bosses in the Simulacrum There's a chance where 2 delirium bosses will spawn around after wave 18th, and the fight is very hectic .... might require a GOOD build to do this.
Obtain a Rampage Streak of 300 in the Simulacrum Can be done by equipping a rampage gear such as Bisco's Leash or Sinvicta's Mettle, let the rampage effect start then switch back to your main equipment quickly then continuing killing the mob and start the next phase instantly to keep the rampage number going till 300.
Complete 100 waves of monsters in the Simulacrum That's 5 runs on the Simulacrum map if you're build can do the full run(20 waves), for a descent build ... should do around 10 runs on this map that's roughly 10 waves per map, nonetheless 100 is a achievable number for a normal player.
Normal. Require a bit of grind on the league-exclusive-unique-map and also a GOOD build to do for the double delirium boss challenge ... Might need to invite a pro player to help you deal with that, the other 2 challenges is achievable with a descent build.
38. Complete Deadly Encounters(40/40)
Uber Elder You can access this boss domain by combining 2 shaper fragment(Shape & Knowledge) and 2 elder fragment(Emptiness & Terror), required a good-bossing-build to do this fight.
High Templar Venarius in The Cortex You can access this boss domain by putting Cortex Relic Chambers Map in ur map device, is pretty hard fight especially with multi-phases boss, invite experience player if you can't do this after you obtain the map.
Domain of Timeless Conflict When collect a total of 100 timeless splinter will become a Timeless Emblem map fragment, which can be use to unlock the 5th slot of map device, if running 4 type of emblem at once. For this challenge it can be need do putting any one piece of the timeless emblem on your map device, pretty easy.
Mastermind at an area level of 83 This is the last boss of syndicate hierarchy, you can access the mastermind safehouse after fill the information bar to full from killing captains of each safehouse divisions. It's full fight is all about running around the arena avoid the middle laser beam and the burning arena from 4 edges. Getting a level 83 mastermind shouldn't be a problem as long you keep negotiating syndicate in high tier map, it will also replace ur old progression if u done some negotiation in the past low tier maps.
Hard. Finding these bosses is not a problem in this challenges, the BIG problem is to defeat them .... might require a good build to do these challenges OR invite an experience player to help with after you found these bosses.
39. Leave to Chance(40/40)
All of it can be easily be done but except 4 of it; chancing any weapon, strongbox, map or jewel into unique. By picking 2 out of 4, I'll choose weapon and strongboxes, here's how:
Chancing strongbox into unique is actually can be easily done by 2 players, 1 player spamming Orb of Chance on the strongbox another player spamming Scouring Orb on the box.
Chancing weapon into unique can be easily done but chancing unique weapon that are easily obtainable(high drop weighing) especially the leveling gear etc: lifespring.
Hard. Because of this challenge, orb of chance price is gonna be fluctuate for this league ... This challenge is very RNG-gated. If you manage to chance any of these 2 type into a unique rarity, then only you can proceed your journey to get the 40/40 golden trophy. Also if you're rich, you can buy the Trash to Treasure prophecy to skip this challenge easily, but expensive.
40. Complete Endgame Grinds(40/40)
Level 100 This is gonna be hardest of the rest challenges. If your build not very end game or dying often ... highly recommended to skip this.
Complete 500 Delve Encounters at an area level of 80 or higher in the Azurite Mine Well this sound a lot better than previous depth 600 challenge, this mean any build can achieve this now as long you keep farming delve depth 189 above then eventually you'll reach this number in no time, really love this improvement GGG! Please don't bring back again reach depth 600 challenge :(
Cleanse 400 Darkshrines in the Endgame Labyrinth This actually worst than previous challenge, the best you can hope for is wait for a labyrinth layout with 4 darkshine(max) within them then you'll only need to 100 labyrinth to complete this challenge, fewer darkshrine may cost you more to farm it so .... 4 dakrshrine labyrinth is your best BET to clear off this challenge.
Complete 50 Blighted Maps This challenge use to be require 100 blighted maps(since blight league) got tone down to 50 ... looks good! 50 is a very achievable number, gonna at least try complete this one when doing end game challenges.
Defeat 100 Conquerors of the Atlas From "75 Sirus kills" to 100 conquerors which is like trying to spawn 20 Sirus instead! Great improvement GGG! 100 conquerors is definitely an achievable number from a casual player perspective.
Defeat 750 waves of monsters in the Simulacrum An upgrade version of Simulacrum II challenge, the required amount to farming this map is roughly around 75 times for a descent build(10+ waves per map) and 38 times for a good build(20 wavers per map). Is really grindy but if you like the new league mechanic then should be achievable. You can get more simulacrum splinter from farming map with high monster desnsity, etc: Tropical Island(T14), Lair(T15), Promenade(T16) base on Daykun video guide
Hard. GGG are pretty tame with the end game grinding number this league, I'm very surprise! In a good way :D ... Do 4 out of 6 of these choices, without a doubt I would skip that Level 100, that's ridiculous grind ... then maybe skip labyrinth by doing other content cuz I know many of yo really hate labyrinth ... I mean only 1% ppl can do labyrinth XD For those who willing to do lab then may wanna skip .... 750 simulacrum because of the big number, or maybe 500 delve encounters if you really prefer simulacrum if it's cheap or you love the content, 500 delve is actually more grindy compare the others options because of the sulphite grind. Well just skip the least content you like the most, overall these end game grind challenge is way more easier compare to previous league, great improvement GGG! I will still be active updating this page from time to time whenever I got new INTEL untill the league ends ;) Hopefully you guys understand my poor english and also helped new comer try to get 40/40 challenges =D Change-logs last update 6th June 2020.
