In this instance you just jumped on an already rolling bandwagon, and what Sredna has said about Melchett's reasoning rings true. I doubt there's any collaboration. Maybe the admins can investigate, but I think it's just a matter of a doomed team using favouritism to unduly influence a league title. Sad but there it is.

There is a precedent for this. Way back in season 12, Zaragoza Hurricanes threw two matches against their neighbours, Winds of Erytheia, to try and gift them the division iii.3 title. The ploy backfired, as the Hurricanes were fined a million dollars, and then had a surprising run of form, which saw them eventually miss out on the title themselves on points difference.

For the record I double checked, and the only tactics which appear suspect are the final game. For this match, the Flanders offence was just naturally ineffectual.

Without my contribution this whole thing would have probably fizzled out. I brought attention to this topic that pressured the moderator to report it to the admins (if he really did what he said he will do), I also asked some very relevant questions that have revealed vital details and stood my ground while getting attacked and even threatened with a ban.

Feel free to report anything you find suspicious for the admins to check, if what you're implying there is true it should be an easy job for them.
