Fireball7d7What's the incentive to move up divisions if you just have to face sandbaggers from the division above?
this seems like the complete opposite of what ive observed. no one moving up a div is worried about the higher div's sandbaggers from 2 divs up—theyre losing to top teams regardless. the people playing the same div over and over without ever having to be challenged, on the other hand, LOVE the anti-sandbagging rules
regardless, neither of the dead teams (and i would argue at least 1 of the other moveups) were also just not sandbagging. my whole team was either offclassing or derusting, and we only played 3 nights a week, 4 at most. we simply signed up in the division we belonged in. scrim results prove this—theres still i think 3 teams who are still in main who were beating us consistently
we said no ty to a request to move up and then got moved up anyway without any further communication for 4 days. for all this we are rewarded with another $15 of fees per person. people figured we'd rather just scrim (dm @50billiondollars on discord to schedule)
theres maybe another timeline where we all suck it up and mainclass and dm for 20 hours a week and send winstons girlfriend on a 3 month vacation backpacking across western europe so we can play adv and get burned out and lose all future interest in the game, but that timeline is definitely not the one where we're given less than 0 incentive to do so
