i dont know how you count the forces in a battle, but i count the players that are arround me in OW and can join into it. I you wanna count the players in ports for me is ok, but not my way. We run because there were no chances on equilibrated battle, only a gank vs us. If we were in equilibrated or playable battle, Ram or Reverse did not run, and me neither. But was not the case, it is simple to understand.
And btw, in 2:57:00 aprox, you can see in video how Reverse said that after the battle with pirates, he finish stream and go to sleep.
