I'm going to say this before I say anything else: I know that there are a few people reading this who are already preparing to roll down to the comments section, make your "Who cares? All we can do is worry about ourselves. Let's destroy all the teams we play and then let everything else play out. It's all we can do." commend and then watch the recs flow like wine.
Don't do that. I understand that this is the case, you understand that this is the case, we all understand that this is the case. Here's the thing: we don't play on the team.
