In game - player support/messaging t11 friends before a match

[LeManiaque]

This is a common anecdote plus a separate, semi common suggestion.

Enjoy the game for what it is, "expectations" are set ups for let downs. (Don't limit yourself to believing the supporters cost your win, I don't. [8% Q difference is no margin of comfort, sincerely])

I recommend you join a FB group, there are many and it's the easiest way to contact friends for support.

Similar suggestions include (very common) manager 2 manager messaging across the board; pay tokens to support friends matches while you are offline; "advertise" a token bonus paid by manager to be given to a random supporter, encouraging more support for specific matches.
