Regardless of what Sumire has to say, it's not at all clear how the three 'lesser' players could have done any better than they have.
Sumire herself perhaps is in a better position than the other two, in that it seems her 'tell' is only known to Achiga. Takami simply got beaten up and was reliant upon a good final hand to redress the balance - not exactly a strong strategy. Seiko just seems to be getting thwarted at every turn.
The net result is that Shiraitodai are starting to suffer from Achiga Syndrome: the way they are being portrayed makes them look weak and far from "the best team ever". Having two really good players and three fillers whose job is to lose as few points as they can manage is hardly being the 'Best Team'. In fact, it makes them look rather like Shindouji.
Well, even that is supposition, since we haven't yet seen Awai in action. All we actually know is they have one really good player and three mediocre ones (or, rather, that's how they've been portrayed). We all assume Awai is going to turn everything around and I really, really hope that's the case. Please,
please don't tell me that Shizuno is the final boss!
