    They are still in the lightning rounds at least. I have gone without seeds for a few PvPs now though.

    I got them in the Bullseye event, but not in Real Steel. I really don't know they don't guarantee three seed teams, especially for less developed teams who could use the one standard token and a LITTLE bit of ISO. icon_cry.gif

    Aesthetocyst has written that he gets seeds every time by joining right when the event opens.

    I've seen this and it does seem to be true, but I'm arguing that there should ALWAYS be seed teams no matter when you start the event. If the seeds are all you do, you get some points toward the season. I think that's fair.

    probably true but joining later helps in other ways that I rank ahead of getting 3 seeds. I got seeds for bulls pvp, but I've been about 25% lately.

    If you join exactly when the event starts you will get enough seed teams to take you to somewhere between 200 to 250 points. If you join after the event starts you may or may not get 3 seed teams. I believe the system looks at how many points/players are already inside the bracket you joined and decides to whether to give you seed teams based off of this but that is just my theory.

    If you you magically join right after a bracket fills and are one of the first players to join the new bracket you might get the 9 to 10 seed teams that take you to 200+ points. That has probably only happened to me twice.

    TLDR: If you join the event after it is already in progress you might not get any seed teams.
