NWBC Season 5: This year we will balance the teams manually
Also NWBC Season 5:
Well they definitely balanced it manually by disallowing 15th and 4e from playing together, and then turning around and taking the 4e themselves.
I don't see it as "turning around" in the sense that it's hypocritical, if that's what you are inferring.
It's evident to all that 15thYR is significantly stronger than both 33rd and the current 92nd after their gren split.
77y is likely stronger than 33rd and just below 92nd (not entirely sure on this since I don't see them too often).
4e is, imo, still the top cav reg in the game, but as I am sure you are aware the cav scene has been effectively non-existent for the past 6 months or so.
We can't be certain who will or won't perform over the course of a tournament when it comes to cav regs (putting aside the issue that some cav players in the top 3 regs have left for inf regs or the game entirely).
So it's fairly disingenuous to say it's hypocritical if you are equating the idea of 15th/77y/4e to 33rd/92nd/4e, but again I may be misinterpreting what you meant.
