If you win your league's end of season playoff, you automatically promote to the next league level.

Also, current practice is to perform a bot cleanup after every season, moving bots down to the lowest levels possible. For example, in the US, division V is all bot, and division IV is partially bot & partially human. So, at the end of last season, any bots in league level I, II, or III were demoted until they reached level 4. Promotion during a bot cleanup is determined by regular season placement in your conference & record. I believe that all of the bot cleanup promotees in the US last season won their conference (but not the league playoff).

In Sweden there are 16 conferences in lowest division with human teams. But as there are just 11 conferences with human team there will be at least 5 teams that lose playoff final that promotes as it is unlikely that any of these 5 conferences will be occupied with a human team before end of season.

So it is not only cleanup of new bot teams due to inactivity but also that bots will not be promoted so in lowest human league it is not too unlikely you will see more promoted teams than only winner.
