Favorites in battle! - 5 The Battle of Favorites! - 5

Kostya, sorry, I didn't understand your point.

The initial idea of the tournament was to play with your favorite faction, which is constantly being excluded.

So, either with your favorite, or with the one that's being excluded. In my opinion, it wouldn't be great if, for example, a strong player playing Rampart kept getting matched with only Ramparts in the group stage, then in the playoffs, and so on throughout the tournament, which is, by the way, a slightly exaggerated version of your suggestion.
