Re: What happened in Curie???

There is nothing someone can do to improve the ranking system. 3 out of our 7 matches we had all 3 bots there. 2 out of 7 all three worked. The pairings as people call it may be unfair or not to your liking. So pretty much we lost 5 matches easily. The ranking system didn't do justice to ours, but its life. In other divisons teams were ranked 9 or 10 and didn't get picked up. As people have mentioned in other threads, if teams scout right you'll get picked. Other reasons they come to a conclusion is:

-experience of the team
-chemistry
-other factors unknown to me.

Curie was also very weird to me it seemed. IDK why, but like teams such as 1771 and 190 were ranked very low. While some kinda ok teams ranked very high. So like Martin said its the luck of draw, especially this year teams just can't just carry an alliance by themselves.

Oh well, next year should be fun.
