its a pity that either Hydra or ACME should play in D1/D2, a useless division chalk full of clans far beneath them in skill as to be entirely pointless
Not only is it quite disrespectful to the other clans but i also think you are wrong. 101st and statisticians both have good players for sure and the fact that 7th heaven crushed Q2 doesn't mean the rest is crap. I think it says more about the quality of 7th heaven.
At the end of the season only the top2 of stage 2 will promote to B. If a clan cannot finish top2 in the first group stage its highly doubtful they will finish top2 in the second group stage where the best clans of all groups come together.
You can say group D1/D2 is useless but if you want to avoid such a strong first group next season you better perform well next stage. Personally I think its just bad luck cause there will always be a group where a strong clan will not make it through. But do you think it would have been better if you were together with apprentice and TJC? Then again you have 3 strong clans where 1 will not make it. Q2 is crushed by 7th heaven and imo hydra wouldn't have made a difference in that so there you will fight for second place as well and CORP has proven before they are not the diplo clan anymore they used to be.
If you had the old groups then group C might have been FCC, ACME, TJC, HYDRA, 7th heaven and Apprentice. Do you think you had more chance then to finish top2?
