That's crazy odds man.... That being said, they said you would never face the same player twice in one GA, not ever......

Apparently that isn’t true @CG_SBCrumb @CG_Carrie .

You missed what I was saying..... You will never face the same player twice in a single GA event.... They never said you would never face them again ever in a later GA event....

Oh so they used the words in a way to basically confuse. Gotcha.

I figured there was more than the same 15 opponents in the past 4 GA I could face. That’s pretty sad.

Ya, you would think the odds against getting 5 the same would be astronomical...... Interested to see if others report this .....

The problem is their formulas are trash. What they should do if they are concerned with GP is face opponents with only 100k GP or less. That way the matchups are broader, new opponents, but you also aren’t getting hosed too badly on GP since 100k ain’t that much.

The formula now is within a few thousand so you are seeing the same opponents for some reason. If millions truly play this game, I would think I would have at least have 5k worth of different opponents in my same GP range I could be facing against.

I don't see any names that I recognize from previous GAs and to be honest I wouldn't care if I did, I'm more interested in fair matchmaking.

Yeah the way GA is run is based on the swiss system where you each round you face people with the same amount of points(wins) as you and you never play against the same person twice. I play Magic for almost 20 years so the whole thing clicked easily for me(Magic tournaments use swiss system too) and I got it the first time that they meant that, but I can see how people can be confused.

I didn't play anything similar before and I got it, it's not really that hard.

I reduced my GP significantly by removing some fluff. I've gotten totally different opponents this GA.

I am assuming your GP is fairly high Andy?

Yes, 4.9 million. Again, I’m beating these guys. I just want different opponents. Every one of them had more Zetas and G12 than me but my mods are better. I wouldn’t mind facing someone with 5 million GP or 4.8 million GP. Long as it’s different.

I assume the question was asked because the higher the GP you are, the less people there are at your same GP and therefore the more likely it is you will see repeat opponents.
