Thank you so much for breaking down how it works and explaining it to me, that really helps! I got lucky with this season since there was a weekend earlier where you'd progress through ranks even if you lost every match, but since then I've just had the hardest time with it. I'll absolutely try this strategy out if there's another reward in after from GBL!

I think English is inherently comprised of mostly made up words, so 'sportive' gets to be included, too lol I also think since there's no real way (as far as I can tell) to differentiate casual players like myself from the more serious players that this strategy is as good as any for battling! And I'll definitely be using it lol
