Season 12
The 3rd season, the ambitions were very high. Devil's Haircut had to become Champion. The team was ready for it and the only thing that could prevent Devil's Haircut from losing the championship was bad luck or tactical mistakes. This was the season of glory for the team, it was able to get 42/42, which is not easy to become in Hattrick. This was the season where the training started to pay off.
Most memorable moment

Devil's Haircut had to Win or draw to win the title, Stress-Pharma had to win to become champion on goal difference. Devil's Haircut was able to save Team spirit in the previous matches and knew they had a good chance to win. After the first minute though, it was 0-1 behind.

Season 14
After finishing 6th the previous season, the team hoped to do better. After an easy season, when nothing special happened, the team ended up at the 5th spot, something the team had hoped for.
