Wouldn't it be more fair if players from same league would be put on the same group? As a gifted player myself with 2 masters and a super-titan in the same group there will be some really intensive games for me. Not giving up though. However, I do understand that the way I suggested has its flaws - all super titans will eliminate each other during the group stage and play finals with some master of gifted player. Just can't think of a better solution.

I do think the seeding as it is right now is the best option possible. Here is an explanation:

awpertuniyt out
It also gives everyone the opportunity to play against super titan. You can see it as unfair, but I'd rather see it as a real challenge and something which would motivate you to do your best!

Hi Brioriy - that is actually the normal way that 'seeding' works. You will see the same thing in most cup-style competitions - (football / tennis etc) it is specifically designed so that it distributes the player skill evenly across each pool.
Don't worry - if you are lucky you may end up in a group with Mag!c and he plays like a Fluffy
(just kidding Mag!c I know you beat me in the last Tourney !)(no disrespect to the Fluffies out there either!)

When the tournament starts do the games automatically appear in my Outwitters active games list?

No, you have to create them through friendly games.

That would be so cool, though!
