Pretty sure you lost some attacks doing this.
Or maybe it was Okthurik you felt too fast but overall I think you had the edge in this machup.

I disagree with Foudzing that the Cathar's had an edge in that matchup. Dok's knight pod is really balanced with his Cathar pod. That doesn't mean that in general Cathar are evenly matched against melee, but dok's build creates a very tight and even matchup. It's a weak Cathar build against an anti-Braced spear and high defense army.

Assuming we have an odd number, you will be inserted as your own brand-new 0-0 player, since you submitted an army set. If you happen to go 3-0, you can still make the playoffs, too.

do 0-1 peeps have a chance to make it?

If you win your next three games, most likely.

All 3-1s & 4-0s always make our playoffs. So, yes.

• Each round, players are matched up against players with the same record if possible. (Of course, one player might end up getting paired down or paired up in each tier. I can go over how we handle that if you want but I'll leave that out for now.)
• Within players with a given record, players are ranked by strength of schedule, then ranking.

When you set a matchup based on ranking to set scheduling in later rounds, are you looking at the current real time ranking or the ranking they had at the beginning of the given season?

Ranking as it updates though the season. This is most important for new players, but it does occasionally impact veteran players on the margins.

Wait. So you'll let me keep the armys I submitted?
