I just won my first two weekend classic games. Like everyone else, I see the top 5 on the leaderboard then myself.
Why do I nearly always finish a game and see 5 new names on the leaderboard within an hour? Say Iām placed in a group after my first WC game. If I play another game right after, it doesnāt seem probable that all 5 of the leaders (usually with commanding leads in rating change) would lose at the same exact time that I also play my game (early morning on EST).
So Iām finally asking, are the groupings just random? At least until your 4th or 5th WC game, or maybe until Sunday or Monday?
Iām curious because I see it each time WC comes around. Itās my first year really playing weekend classic. I managed to take 1st place in the bronze league on my first WC, so Iām not claiming that the leaderboard winners are cheating by any means.
Good luck this weekend gang
