zheepGetawhaleNo animosity or hate toward the Fable team, and none towards Shade's accomplishment either, but Invite is a joke and has been for several seasons
Take it from Getawhale, reputable and distinguished Invite veteran
Froyotech has won 1st place for eight of the past nine seasons. That's just not interesting to me.
Since Season 18 in 2015, the last LAN, there has been one or maybe two seasons where it really felt like we had 4 top teams (or more) in Invite that could all potentially win 1st. In the recent seasons, we've had b4nny versus the other good team or both other good teams, while the rest of the teams in the division just kinda play their own side league. It's unfortunate, and I can 100% understand the hesitation from top IM teams to want to move up. Why would you, when the rest of Invite is just "play well, and hopefully get picked up by b4nny someday" now.
That's my opinion as a spectator, which has nothing to do with whether I can play at a high level or not (which I absolutely can't.)
