Were they good enough to make it to the WL? Yes.


You talking about this season or last season? Because you sound fairly out of the loop.

Just wondering

How does this affect the LOLtrophies more than Tasmania gutting mid season?

This league is supposed to be the best of the best competing at the highest level. That was the whole purpose of the league. When two teams get together and try to throw a game like these two have, it takes that aspect of the league away. Instead of having every game mean something and instead of having the very best players in the game compete legitimately for the most important individual awards in the game, you have the leaders of two teams mocking the purpose of the WL and taking the opportunity to compete for those awards away from the agents that they are important to. If Gart et al. think it's a big joke and have "zero cares," then they shouldn't care if they are banned for screwing over the agents who do care.

I find the idea that a 0-11 team screwing around with a 9-2 team makes WL a mockery to be kind of ridiculous tbh.
I do think that fixing the awards trophies and such is in order.

To put it another way, if someone ever got up in real life, walked outside and signed up for a some sort of competition and did this, they'd get their nerdy little teeth punched down their throat.

They made the choice to mess up the game for the rest of the agents in the WL


I don't agree with this.

Not at all, just saying, the internet is a lovely place for some people to hang out.

Ah the "zero care" paradox! Should be interesting to see the aftermath.

You pull this kind of stunt on say the ESPN Fantasy Football site, have two teams in same league with one guy running both teams, who sets a lineup of all inactives and injured and bye week guys on one team......and it's a quick exit from the league and likely permaban when the admins find out. Doesn't matter if one team is clearly better than the other anyways, or if one would have likely lost.

Why should GLB be any different?

You're grasping for straws with this argument. I understand that they made roster changes that would make it virtually impossible for them to win a game. Teams gutting or taking similar actions in the WL is another issue that needs to be resolved, but it isn't at issue here. What's at issue here is an attack on the purpose of the WL league by the owners of the teams involved. Not being good enough to compete is one thing. Some of the teams here just aren't as good as the others; the whole point of playing the games is to decide who is better. On the whole other end of the spectrum is creating a game plan to purposefully throw a game and in the process screw over every one else. It shows an utter lack of respect for the competition that this league was supposed to create, and it screws over every individual player who cares about how his dots do.

You know what bothers me more than BFMgate? Lake Opeta being allowed to remain in WL in season 11.

You're not responding to what I posted at all. Are you or are you not saying that BFM would have been competitive this season?
