As the rules stand, the top-heavy teams will get promoted into Tier 4, thus freeing them the problem of having too many Plats or Diamonds in the team.
Speaking strictly selfishly here, TA already has the maximum 4 teams across the entire SEACL and as per the rules of the system the winning team in a tier gets promoted up to the next tier next season.
If for example the rules don't change, TA can't field a strong team to actually secure a win (knowing the team i'll guarantee thats the case lol) meaning this team will remain tier 5.
Next season the team will consist of 5 members as the plat/diamonds obviously wont be put into this tier again.
Dunno if this means anything, more an observation. Not saying because of us the rules should change either coz thats not the case.
I respect both sides of the coin and defer to the admin's better judgement for the betterment of the league, whichever direction it may go.
