I wouldn’t, want to finish 14th that is, but not entering any other competition is not a guarantee of finishing higher in the league, we should try to win every competition we are entered in and finish as high in the league as we can, that is the fundamental belief of the sport to enter every game and competition to win and make your way to the top of the pyramid, to start cherry picking your competitions and competitors is not playing to the spirit of the game and what it stands for.
Without wishing to sound patronising those who believe that you should pick and choose your comps or games should support a team that wants to play in the ESL, that way you’re be guaranteed not to lose yet make more money, it would be boring as fuck but you would achieve your ambitions.
