How random is ''random''? Because if it is true random, you're still going to end up with ridiculous clusterfucks where two high level players will team up. It should, in all honesty, just be an average of the two players ladder ratings or something.
By random they mean "drawing a number from a hat" like how it was done in the previous 4v4 ladder tournament. You're correct, there may still be two high level players randomly teaming up thus why teams will be randomly chosen again the following week.
Sure, putting players together through averaging their skill may work but some players who aren't grand masters or even masters are awesome at team games "eg. Del who's in Diamond". Unless we can get a solid 2v2 ranking system going where we can determine who's the best and worst 2v2 players then I think it would be difficult to make teams out of an average skill level.
Maybe Intime could make teams in the 2nd week where the number 1 ranked player from the first week will be teamed up with the last placed player from the previos week?
