I understand that some participants are disappointed at the frequency of some reocurring round one matchups (eg. Praetorians vs. Ryders). This repetition is mainly caused by the major gap between these 2 teams and their opposition. The Ryders and Praetorians have both participated in the majority of last 10 SCSs. In this time they have only ever lost matches against one another, and the Glowwater Thralls. As far as I know only 2 out of 28 Skirmishes have been won by teams other than these 3. We can only assume right now that the Praetorians and Ryders will win any match they participate in (except against each other) - and not only that, it's more than likely they'll win quickly and easily in the kind of game that is neither fun to watch or play in.
Our options are basically to put the best teams in a close, interesting fight at the beginning which will result in one of them being knocked out earlier than they deserve and making for a perhaps less interesting final or to mix the top 2 teams in with the rest which has so far not been constructive of exciting matches (except the inevitable Prae vs. Ryder final). Our approach to choosing matchups is that every team should have a close first match. As it stands the only way to do this reliably is to put Praetorians vs. Ryders in the first match. We try to find better ways to keep things interesting and will continue to do so but so long as there remain 2 teams head and shoulders above the rest it is going to prove difficult to vary their matches except at the expense of allowing other teams to have satisfying games.
Replaceable:
Is Daniels zoo a legitimate participating team? If so they are not in the bracket
