Tanking generally involves joining a bracket while the seed teams are still available, beat all but one of them and then put the weakest possible team you can have that can still beat Kicksthatkick so that people will hopefully slaughter you as much as possible.

Follow up Q, Phantron - do you have to beat all but one? Or is it enough just to win a match with your tank team?

Follow up Q, Phantron - do you have to beat all but one? Or is it enough just to win a match with your tank team? It is believed that the team people sees is the last team you won with (this is difficult to confirm because we can't actually ask someone who beat us who they saw, but it's our best guess), which is why you leave a team like Kicksthatkick for the very last match so that your tank team can actually win. Your goal is still to get as much point as possible, because if you play only one game and have 25 points, people won't be too interested in you even if your team is 3 level 1s. But without saving a team like Kicksthatkick for last, you'd have an awful time winning with 3 level 1s. Note that seed teams disappear if a retaliation spot appears in their spot, so you can't wait too long. For what it's worth, I didn't get hit especially hard in the 1* where my team was 3 level 1s (and that's the best team I have), probably because my rating was 25 (found exactly one team I was able to beat at all in the entire tournament). So having a high score before you tank matters too.
