but like it was said by GM-Jason i think... there's a problem when multiple teams in a single conference are tanking at the same time. when a team can intentionally lose half a season, exploiting it, without demotion or facing any real penalty... it's not good.


II.2 is like this. Last season there was a tanker in both conferences, and another team who wasn't really trying. So Stogey coasted along with a nothing roster, going 5-17, until relegation and then he turned it on and won to stay up. This season he's 6-1 and on his way. Not trying to single him out, it's just an example of how to take advantage of it.
This season we've already had 2 people quit and another (Manhattan Beach) go bot. It's nearly impossible to demote!

You take some blame in this, because this week is boring as hell. Two tankers and a bot in the cup. Yay. Anyways, do what you can to take care of your team. If that means you don't get exploited for having 18 losses this season, than it's the fault of more than 1 party.

Ha, I do like that analogy. My cup opponent is fairly inactive, so I'm not concerned about using my typical cup lineup for that game. Also got lucky with the minute distribution in my previous league game, so I could start Polt and Dennison.

Maybe we'll meet again in the cup this season and you'll get a chance to avenge this loss.
