The other option, let them stay in silver, by themselves. They wouldn't be able to play, as there's no opponent.. but then they get no reward.. That's also not fair. So the team decided, they earned their spot in Silver bracket and since they were the first, they'll get a free week of rewards.
I'm sure you'd feel very differently if that was your team. The decision isn't up for debate and this thread is closed as it has turned into insults and is no longer productive.
