^ pretty much what this anon said. There's a huge difference between making plans to ensure a successful dom conquest and assuming a double dom is yours for free and not trying at all, which is what plague did.

The dom team mentioned a lot that they were doing this in anticipation of a potential challenger and had their eyes warily on a few flights who might go for it. Hell, at one point we thought Ice was about to swing for it and were revving up in anticipation. I'd like to point out that in Plague's shitshow, very public screenshots were leaked of them stating that Light "better be prepared to fight for their double dom", which I think further validates Lightdom's preparation in anticipation of a challenger. Lightdom assumed someone was going to show up, and had someone, it probably would've accurately been one of the smaller flights who could shred their prehoard advantage. It's not really their fault no one did.
