CorsaIt's understandable that blue should have the 5th seed, but I don't see why you care so much..if you deserve a placement, then you should be able to beat a team that has cloudmaker.
It's not that I want to be able to unfairly claim my team as a top 4 IM team if we don't deserve it. Anyone who has talked to me for any length of time about my teams knows that I don't have a shred of Dunning-Kruger about them.
But,
1. As a point of pride, we had a better season than Gold, and I want the standings to reflect that.
2. If there's money on the line for making it x rounds in, of course I want an easier schedule, especially if it's actually deserved, ie the team that is getting a harder schedule due to us deserves a harder schedule, so we're not snatching money from them that they deserve.
3. Gold already had like the easiest schedule in IM, and shouldn't get extra benefits on top of that (though they already did get extra benefits, namely getting ranked above teams better than them in those weekly IM rankings for 2 seasons in a row).
