Will they or Won't they?

This is the record of a team in my Gold League.

Is 0-162 in the cards or will the RNG catch up with some poor owner(s)..

The team in question is composed of all Iron

Will they or won't they get banned?

what you are doing is in breach of terms of service, and your team name is linked in the your signature

Its not my team.. I already reported them

The odds are long against it. Even if the team is expected to lose 99% of their games, they still have less than a 20% chance of going 0-162. You have to be getting outscored at a 17:1 ratio to have that low of an expected winning percentage.

Man, what's the reward going to be for breaking THAT losing streak?

Turns out I was the victim... lol. They are now 1-46 snapping a 46 game losing streak

Is there a reward for that?

I'm guessing it's much like the winning streak where the PP is the same once you get to somewhere in the teens. And they are on fire now, 2 wins late in the day to get to 2-50. The real question is what kind of PP are the teams playing them getting. There are some fortunate teams to be in their division this season.

Yup, rewards end at certain points. I was a bit gutted to discover there was no special reward for going 50/50, you just get the 40/40 reward instead. Presume it's the same for losing streaks

You can only get one copy of each "break a losing streak" per season, so it doesn't really pay off. And as mentioned, points don't matter much if you get the ban hammer too.
