I think its a bit of overall kill to think he stabbed them in the back, isnt the point of a PL to play with new people and friends and its not as if he is ditching his friends, he is still here contributing and helping others.
I think its also pretty noble to say i would like this to be fair for 24 players, as this is a community based PL, where its all about having fun. If he thinks he will have more fun with the challenge of higher ranked teams rather then smashing his mates every game the more to him

and i am sure his mates would rather contribute to the team by beating similar ranked teams instead of losing to him more (Although im sure everyone will be moving up the aus rankings anyway)
From my point of view, even though i am not playing the people from IV.7 or in their team, this is a chance to meet new people and experience new challenges.
I just cant see how its ghay! lol
