I agree for the most part but I have an issue with them stealing games from legitimate teams who is trying their best to compete with a common goal in any sport of win a tournament by playing in a competitive level playing field, or at least the illusion of fair play. It is utterly disgusting to see that team and others like them knowing you haven't got a chance because of their egregious disregard to the spirit of rules and sportsmanship.
