Once I was done being good but not great in silver I switched to diamond tournaments and realized I could still post a reasonably competitive league team with an oops no perfects strategy. It hung around in diamond/gold for awhile but now has gone back down since I stopped playing.
As for that 5-time PeL champion Daves, I think you're talking about the Newton Sloths? I figure if you have the points/money, flaunt it. I don't begrudge them one bit. Not just because they are a fellow HotL group member as I am, but they win their fair share of dailies and weeklies so they can sell and re-invest. Fair play when you have the skill to win big tournaments on a regular basis, then be able to pivot in the market smoothly to make the points. Gotta do what you gotta do to maintain the success. Long may it last (particularly since I'll never make it back to PeL in any cycle. PT21 was my last time in PeL and it was only for 2 weeks).

Ya, I actually kicked some good Diamond butt early on. League and tourneys. Understanding that collections would build up and I'd probably get down to gold/silver league.
But getting crushed in every tourney when we have the "same rules" is silly.
But this mega hate came very recently when I got destroyed in a diamond tournament, investigated, and saw a team with all diamond combinators.
As long as they exist, I cannot win.
