Sometimes life and random make their own corrections. On my starting period I avoided promotion several times and then suddenly won league 2 very confidently. My first full season in L1 started disastrously, desperate final sprint meant that I have still highest points record of last place(36p from 36 matches). Then again I started to avoid promotion, but on second next season after relegations avoided successfully league win.... and got promoted with playoffs, getting first playoff-promoted team, who survived first season...so far in League 1 but having critical period.
My good friend onuelver has quite different fate: he was fearless until really unlucky and undeserved relegation from League 1(where he got through playoffs and survived first season) to team that didn't want to go up, but scored their only chance in both matches having only 1 proper forward and winning playoffs by away goal. To go worse that team sold that forward before start of season and with 16yo youngsters ahead scored just 3 goals per season. My hot-blooded friend sold core of his team and after that started to avoid promotions. Then he won league with 10+ points and got promoted. He got at least one point even from top teams like Veenus and Pusa and in playoffs met team that was not fond of promotion but not avoiding it too...and it was only team against who he didn't got even single point on last season.
Actually things in Estonia are worse because none of 5 strongest L2 teams want to get promoted as they all have experiences of suffering in the end of L1. 8 of 10 League 1 teams have been constant and quite safe since season 45. One of later promoted teams survived some seasons on 9th place, but wanted go down already after first season, last season he had chance through last place. There is no pressure from lower too.
