Same in 2010, but it didn't become universal.
I agree, and would expect the GDC to also have seen that - that's why my comment wasn't based on connecting physically like in previous years, but to "connect" operationally or strategically by function. Three separate design types and three separate functions that you can choose from. It would make for a very different way of playing the qualification rounds, since the chances of seeing the correct pairing would rarely happen for both alliances, but the elimination rounds would be something else!

BTW, congratulations on your 10,000th post Eric! I've enjoyed reading what you have to say!
