Hi! Isn’t the below the other way around? In a Mild, it’s much better for the lower ranked player vs 1 game (compared to the race to 5 straight up.

“So you can see that Mild matchup isn’t great for the lower ranked player versus 1 game, but in a race to 5 straight up, it’s much better. (14.5% percent versus 25.9%)”

Hi Hans! I did a poor job with that sentence.

In a single game, the 500 player has a 66.7% chance of winning. In a 4-4 race, the 500 is 82.7%. 5-5 is 85.5%. If the race is 4-5, the 500 is 74.1% and in a 4-6, the 500 is at 65%.

So in a "Mild" 4-5 race, the 400 has a lower chance of winning that match (25.9%) than if the players just did a one game "match". (33.3% in a single game and 25.9% in the 4-5.)

4-5 is obviously better for the lower rank than 5-5. (25.9% versus 14.5)

Thank you for correcting me!
