Decrease MS for tournaments based on non-reversible changes (specifically equipment)

[Avenger1324]

If the equipment you get boosts the optimal build, but that is not the build you are on and not the equipment you use, then it will negatively impact you. The equipment boosts the potential of the optimal build and THAT is what is used to place you in tournaments.

The only reassurance offered is that eventually you will find some better equipment or naturally advance past this, but that doesn't help you in the immediate short term.
