You would win a shot at the tier title (for lack of a better term atm) after winning x amount of games in a row, or by some other formula. Usually the week before you'd have a title shot match against another team and the winner plays the champion the following week and the process just keeps cycling. Lose the title? Well you have to earn the title shot back.
It does hold some merit, keeps you interested really no matter your teams W-L record because it gives you the hope that hey, put a few good matches together and your team might get a shot. Keep improving. Much better than... lose your first 4 matches and not having anything to look forward to.. other than the fun and competition which obviously won't enough for everyone.

This exactly...
Also there doesn't need to be written in stone ways that the ladder works.. it just works. Admin decides who plays who and who gets a title shot.
