anybody want to take a guess as to who black swan black is going to have play in their next matches since they can just reach into their group of friends who have either invite experience or are likely capable of playing invite and play them because sandbagging is totally fair to other teams that have had minimal roster changes most of the season

This season and the last have seen the least sandbagging in open that I can remember. This Black Swan Black team is hardly that offensive or "unfair" as we saw tonight. And there are other teams in open this season with the ability to beat them in a match, yours probably included if you don't drop 6 ubers again.
Basically what I'm getting at is that if you want to get better as a player and as a team, you must show no fear just because of the names on their roster. Don't blame the other team for doing whatever they did to win, look at why you lost. Then come back in playoffs when it matters and if you want to be the best, then you gotta beat the best.

I mean they lost the match. They can be beat. Though I do have to say, blatantly changing players / upgrading mid-match is kind of a lame thing to do.

I definitely feel like I've gotten better individually since that match. I'm not even going to deny or try and play off the fact that I singlehandely lost my team that match, due to the reason mentioned above. Sometimes you just need to hit rock bottom to build yourself a new foundation to reach even higher peaks.
That being said, I think someone had to speak out about this eventually, and tery_ phrased it perfectly IMO.

Hi, just gonna give some context/our side of the story. First off, we benched gravy and dot because of scheduling issues/work, and ether made the decision to step down from invite due to irl stress/high ping before he came to our team. Ether couldn't make this match at 1030, but was able to play the second half and offered to play instead of ninjax, but rocker said he didn't want to play and stepped down for ether. I have said time and time again we aren't a super strong/invincible """"sandbag"""" team because you have me and rocker playing scout, both of which don't main it. Couple this with our very limited scrim time and puggy playstyle and there are plenty of teams that can beat us. You of all people should know considering you got 4 rounds against us on gully, and we just lost to NOIR. Either way we lost, GG, best of luck to NOIR in the rest of the season.
