At what point? Teammates still fight Teammates. People even fight THEMSELF. 4 vs 5, coz 2 players are "layered" ... and so on.
If you want to optimize CSGB, start there. And then change the matching and group system. Get rid of the groups.
There are guilds in Diamond group, who will be eaten all 3 fights. David vs Goliath. They sure did well in the prelims, on equal terms, but what are they doing in the Top 8 of ALL Servers and Hosts?
Lucky for the rewards, but it's unrealistic. 7 or 8 fights without Finals Groups are far more realistic for the rankings anyway. There are guilds in Iron group too, that simply don't belong there. Only by losing 2 fights.
They still could win the next 3, and rank far better. But the groups are closed. At the moment, guilds who win 4 in total, can get more rewards than guilds who win 6 in total. Only by groups.
And the actual Diamond and Gold Groups PROVE that it's NOT about being able to beat the MOST guilds.
Another point is the BR matching. It's taken ONCE, but some guilds improve Millions in 7 weeks. Next is ... Big active guilds with many smaller players are handicapped automatically by that matching system.
Or ... they are even forced to reduce BR, to avoid Monsters. Matching the whole guild makes no sense, when only 40 of them fight. The worst is, the Trickery about that static "Entrance BR".
Avoiding "Monster Guilds" for the first battle is one thing. But if that guilds face only small guilds then, who they completely outmatch, over the whole prelims ... then something is wrong.
They are entering the static Groups then, and the Rewards are just farmed nice and smoothly, since there are 8 Ranks guaranteed in every group. No matter how much you lose.
This avoiding/tricking will increase next time, more guilds will do that. Everyone learns. To avoid that, you (the host) only needs to calculate the true "brought-into-battle" BR after each match.
Of course there can be tricked too, but not in THAT big style. Either this is a competition event, or it is not. At the moment it's too much lucky draw and/or tricking.
Cancel the group thing, match the brought-in BR, not the one-time whole ... and the whole CSGB will be a lot more realistic ... and a lot more fun. For everyone who likes gameplay and competition.
