        Serves them right, what's the point in setting up a team to copy? May as well save the time and not set one up and just be a 'supporter'.

        Play your own game.

        I am not so sure. His reputation is built off of how he performs really. If he felt before deadline that the WC team is going to do better in the long run then so be it. A lot of people activated WC near the deadline. The people cribbing can still take all of the advice he had given on his team pre deadline to make any tough decisions and only those copying are upset.
