ITS TOURNEY TIME BABY!
After many qualifiers, I came out in Quartile 1, so I have a 1 seed going into groups.
The other 3 (in seed order) are Emosaru, Eradin, and Tjjoll!
The way modes get selected for the group matches is this:
We construct a deck of 20 "cards", 4 of each preset.
We then pull up to the last 5 races for each player.
For each player, we subtract your last race's preset, then we again subtract a card for each preset. If we go below 0, we keep the floor at 0. This has the effect of making your last race count twice against the "cards" we remove from the deck, severely reducing (but not 100% eliminating) the odds of a repeat race.
After we construct the deck, we use what's left to choose a random preset, weighted using what "cards" are left in the "deck".
The 5 possible modes are:
Open
Keysanity (with Castle Tower keys and GT Big Key always in dungeon)
Inverted Keysanity with Starting Flute
Ambrosia
Map/Compass/Full Boss Shuffle
Enjoy~
