Is anyone experiencing changes with this event? I had no seed teams but the first four matches landed 230 points

    On normal PVPs I get seed teams about 90% of the time, but every so often I just don't. I have no idea why - it's probably something to do with the bracket composition when I join.

    On Lightning Rounds you only get seed teams if you join pretty much immedietely.

    I've concluded that getting seed teams depends on when you join. If you join before there is a certain amount of points in the bracket pool, you get seeds. If you join after a certain sum total has been scored by all the members of the bracket, you don't. What that magic number is I have no idea. I've joined as little as 30 mins after the start and not got seed teams and faced fierce competition, I've joined two hours after start and won 200 points before I stop getting seeds and realized I was up against filthy casuals as the event wore on.

    I have noticed that the AI has no damn idea what to do with Vision though. Just keeps trading yellow and blue countdown tiles and burning up AP. icon_lol.gif

    I actually did not have Seed teams when I first checked into the event. It was likely coincidence, but I saw the same team I had queued when DD event ended, which was DD/KK/3Dak, levels way too high for me to bother, except vision exchanged for DD.

    I promptly said "Forget this", quit out, and when I checked it this morning, I had seed teams again.

    My experience has been if you don't start early you don't get seed teams.

    This is probably the first time I've heard that the seed teams appear after the normal players appear. icon_e_surprised.gif

    You might be on to something..

    Let me clarify, I joined the event early, my DD rewards were still "pending" and I got the player teams. Once my DD rewards were sent, I checked the vision event and was back to having seed teams. I suspect it's a bug of some sort.

    This has not been my experience. Whether I start PvP early or late I always get one round of seed teams before hitting actual teams.
