Another ENL anomaly victory
Now we're approaching difficult choices. Niantic has to change the rules to give the Res a chance to win because in a perpetual game, you need a tick-tock-tick-tock series of wins for each side, otherwise population/morale nosedives and one side is more disinterested. This was meant to be a Res win with the primary in their territory and also a global event challenge which normally goes to the Res. With the global event cancelled, ENL worked hard to eke out another victory.
On the other hand, how long will the ENL keep fighting for no permanent rewards? No bio badges the Res have to look at, no XM on the ground Res have to look at and have FOMO. This is what drives competition, not merely a win/loss column. The best reward you can offer is something the other team is forced to see, but has to miss out for losing.
Also, if that's too much work, how about the winning faction of each anomaly that gets badges gets a red flair border around any win they achieved? Losing side doesn't get the border flair.

Well its not the players fault, like the anomaly in usa i read the team res was heavy outnumbered by enl ? Seems if not many focus on that region there is not much to do then accept the loss forthat battle sadly.
Can someone adequately explain to me what we fought for this time? What was our goal? We no longer have shapers and will not, so all the same, what are we fighting for now?
Right, and Niantic knows this, so they pick their anomaly sites and global challenge strategies pretty carefully to try and make the overall outcome predictable, unless the other side really pushes hard. Next set of anomaly sites/rules/gloabl will absolutely tilt res after so many direct losses in a row.
Niantic: You got the box of mystery and BOGO ENL fireworks. What more could you possibly want?
What about giving us BOGO ENL Beacons instead of fireworks? I guess the opposing faction can't handle ENL Beacons being deployed after winning Anomaly Events.
The sites came from the MD requests that were filled out either 2020 or the MD and MD Lite requests last year.
