I don’t think that’s what Kyno is talking about.
I think he means that guilds who go in with, say, 43 signed up are not guaranteed to get a weaker guild with 50 signed up. It’s perfectly possible they get a similarly powered guild who also have 43 signed up, or a more powerful guild with 38 signed up.
Agreed. That’s possible. It remains my view that going in with 50/50 is, on average, a disadvantage. Here’s why. Let’s stipulate that there are three possibilities for any guild in their matchup:
1. The other guild has more participants, which is usually an advantage
2. The other guild has the same or very similar number of participants, which will tend to create the most even matchups
3. The other guild has fewer participants, which is usually a disadvantage
If my guild goes in with 37 participants, options 1, 2, or 3 are possible. If my guild goes in with 50 participants, only 2 and 3 are possible.
