1) the rating system they use is designed to be good over months and months of gaming... not 4 days of a tournament.
2) not merging servers from the get go totally fucked the contest(we never fought 4 of the top 10 teams... ever)
3) The ladder rating increased way too fast for the top guilds. The top 3 guilds in elim barely had to play the last weekend, and it actually helped them win by doing so. Only beating the top 3 guilds gave you more than like 3 rating points increase... and when your behind the top guild by 100 rating points... gg.
It was pretty hilarious for the last 4 hours of the tournament. We beat every guild we faced and went up 4 rating points. It would have worked better with a basic chess match system for the tournament. We beat every team we fought multiple times except for IcE but because we couldnt grind 24/7 we couldnt compete.
Aw well, keyboards game gold and subscriptions! yay.
