I would like to pose a question to the ET community regarding one of the ladder rules currently in affect.

We at #uQ.Gaming had a mail this morning warning us that unless we play in the next 14 days we will be put into hibernation. It was my understanding that if you are #1 on the ladder then surely you are there to be challenged and knocked off. If those challenges dont arrive then you should not be punished for this.

When I asked Clanbase i was told that we need to make a challenge and play within 14 days. Do we challenge for #2 from #1 or do we pick on a lower skilled team. It looks like we will have to make a challenge regardless in order to maintain our position.

My question is this and please no flame wars as it is meant as a constructive question.

Q. If you are number 1 on a ladder as this is what a ladder is all about, should you have to challenge a lower ranked team in order to maintain that position or should you be there to be challenged and knocked off.

Thanks
Venom
