NOBODY WANTS TO FOLLOW IT.

You mean the 5+ team movements every season even though all of the shuffling is designed to promote/demote teams based on performance. Since when can a network decide which teams it has in and out of Pro? Is this a joke?

Whether this "should" be the case is a different question, but this has always been the case.

In reality it's like cutting all the players from an AAA team to move them to a Pro team or vice versa, but instead moving the entire team.

Surprised WAR boys didn’t move one of their teams

Both pro leagues are now playing the same day. Absolute banger!

Also Pro2 Beta with SWAT, sick sick sick.

most movement is within Pro, just separating teams - I am not sure I have ever swapped teams up and down the food chain

Everything for better competition. Don't think anyone wants to play against 0-16 or 1-15 teams. TSW is far better than Adriatic and is here to compete for playoff entrance.

Since they have no ambitions in promoting to Pro anyway, I will rather focus on other teams.

Funny how the only people replying to me are the ones with the most influence on the team movements..

Which is arguably worse! It's a pretty tired argument that spreading out Tom and Ryan teams prevents any one conference from "being so tough it's impossible". What a condescending tone! There's a new age of GLB coming, and it doesn't include Tom or Ryan dominating this game anymore. So let's quit giving them the easy leg up and letting them spread their teams out to ensure maximum playoff chances with their huge market shares. Tom and Ryan combined own 32% of the Pro teams. This is an unbelievable market share problem that we have on our hands. Not to mention the POTENTIAL for collusion. I'm not saying they collude, or ever have, BUT, safeguards are meant to be in place to protect against collusion, by eliminating the possibility.

With all that said, I hope Ryan understands where I am coming from, he's a super nice guy and I do like him and appreciate all he has done for this game, and Tom as well, he's done a lot for the game. But I don't find it to be fair that he gets to "Report to Bort" all of his preferred league alignments. Like how easy do we need to make it for Tom? Does he get to have his cake and eat it too?

this is not the reason we do it

we do it to minimize the games we play against our own teams because that sucks

and obviously last season proved that WAR and Venom have stepped up their games, which is great for the league as well

if more teams do that Pro will truly be a bloodbath as weeks won't be able to be taken off

If you can't see the bias in this statement you are mentally ill. Why are you afforded this luxury? And what elitist mentality makes you think that this is okay?

I agree Pwned, that’s why I made zero swaps this offseason.
