The current state of tournaments is broke.. It honestly shouldnt even be called that as its not even a tournament.
There is no reason why a new player who has very little XP in a lower DIV is in the same bracket as a Div1 player with max XP.
A low level player can obtain 3-400 pts per match with very little effort and facing mostly AI in a quicker manner.
A high level player will generally be between 2-250 pts per match, essentially having to play double the games to even keep par with a lower level also facing higher level AI that doesnt miss, running into full "squads" and higher XP player/mechs in general.
Since GA the tournaments I've been in 95% of the player have been in a div lower than 8, being in DIV1 @ 326k XP I've watched in each round those players easily track 4k+ pts due to the ease of their matches whereas if you tracked the same # of games played at my level best could manage 3k+ pts
Last I checked I believe I was around 80% win rate over 5k matches yet I'm losing in "torunaments" to players who are < 100 matches with 2-3 mechs. Put this as a real torunament and stack us higher folks vs newer it wouldnt even be a match. So why put them in the same bracket?
