Interesting line-up tonight. I can't imagine that suiting up only 6 players was done on purpose.

It has to be either a mistake, or Rip decided to throw the game for some reason. Those are the only explanations that I can come up with.

I think that I understand the thought process behind yesterday's game now. RIP figured we had no chance to make the world's this season so he wanted to make sure that we went straight into the consolation tournament.

If we had won yesterday, there was some chance we would have gone to the 2nd chance qualifiers, where we had virtually no chance. From there we would have entered the consolation tournament at 0-2 and with an enthusiasm penalty, effectively taking away any chance of doing anything in the tournament.

Personally I am not sure if I agree with this tactic, but there is some logic to it.
