You kicking the crap out of silver sort of hurts that theory, and I fear it'll make the admins less likely to allow demotions in the future.
So do us all a favor and lose your next 13 games
Yeah, and he had to come into my league...
Come playoff time, I think the boosted teams will have an advantage over the HordeI don't disagree that he'll struggle come playoffs, but if BORT sees teams dropping to silver and winning 14+ games, he's going to be less likely to let gold teams drop. I'm not necessarily sure that is the same definition of non-competitive as Bort, Catch, and the admins have. Their original point when disallowing teams to drop from gold was they didn't want good teams dropping down so they could beat up on bad teams rather than win 8-10 teams in gold.
I know it wasn't brogrim's intent (and he's a good dude, I really like the guy), but BORT's view of non-competitive is likely different. It took quite a bit to get BORT to change his mind on this, so now I guess I'm afraid that the next time a team says they'll be non-competitive (meaning pretty much CPU), they won't be allowed to demote.
