State of the 4545 League

by @SpiteKnight

World Championship gets over, life gets back to its mundane evenings.... only if you're an alternate. For the early birds, the League season has begun, and the quest to not be the worst takes at least a few good moves, good luck to all the players on finding them. Also, a gentle reminder for the old (some of you still seem new) and the new: READ THE RULES! Team mods appreciate people who read and follow the rules, even though they appreciate very little in general, so this is the best way to get you on the mod yacht.
