Until recently, IB refused to accept any rotation or agreement that didn't greatly favor them because they felt they would win a disproportionate amount of the open competitions. TMO complained and accused them of being greedy, conniving pixelnerds that would stop at nothing (read: rule lawyering, poopsocking, training, ninja-looting) to squeeze out every last pixel.

The day finally came when TMO overtook IB, and IB stomped off the server. Now as top dog, TMO has done all of the above that they were so infuriated with IB for having done.

Also, the "legitimately beaten" thing is a straw man. If we ask the defeated, nobody has ever been legitimately beaten. When VD beats you on Trak, it's -- and I quote -- "a fluke". When you beat VD, it's because you're socking and/or training. Etc, etc, forever and ever.

TMO is inarguably #1 right now. After so many months of complaining about IB, it'd be nice if you didn't follow so closely in their footsteps.
That's complete horseshit, TMO never came to the table to discuss rotations. It was IB that pushed for the original Trak rotation and it was Rogean that forced TMO/IB to develop a rotation for VP.

For the record IB is by no means clean here, we did our fair share of shitty stuff to TMO just like they did to us. But people (and I know you call them out later in your post) need to stop acting like TMO was ever a victim of IB.
