I was expecting this kind of comment. The truth is a little bit more complicated than that.
Even with HCA, it would have been difficult for me to beat you in the conference final without a higher enthusiasm. Not to mention the league final. I had the choice between going all in against BB and then losing against you (or the red side team after you), or going easy against BB, praying for a victory, which would have left me with higher chances of beating you after that game.
My team wasn't strong enough to make it to BBBL anyway, I was aiming for the top 4 and my number 1 spot was a surprise.
