2) P4 and P5 leave the team, and then rejoin the team. Now having PR of 1500.

3) New averaged PR team is now sitting at 1800. Now play as many games as you are only facing competition in the much lower bracket. True, you will only get 8-10 pts. But they will be much easier to win. (No more brick wall against high rated teams)

4) After a few more games, you may now be at 2040 for TR/PR of P1,P2 and P3. Since still short 2050, repeat steps 2 and 3.

You can do this with 3 people for more effect/more games to play.
Isn't this why there is a 150 difference check in place? Also, didn't Blizzard put a new matching system in place last patch to check for the higher personal rating when match up teams if one player was much much higher then the team raiding? So I'm guessing those players that left would still have a higher personal rating then 1500 and be matched up against teams with a 2000 rating. Right?
