I'm curious if this is intended or a bug with how players are paired. I am set to play 3 games at once and had no active games, but I only was given one game last update. Ruthless is set to play 3 games as well, and had only 1 active game, and wasn't given any new ones. Based on our positions on the leaderboard, it would make sense that we would play each other, yet we weren't paired up. Bug, or is there a reason behind this?

Currently only one game is scheduled per player, so it's not strange that you only got one game. But I'm not sure why Ruthless didn't get one -- maybe no one else had slots open (and hadn't already been assigned a game in this update)?

Ahh, ok. Yeah, I see now that only one game per player per update cycle is given out.

Impaller just REALLY wants to play me :)

I got 3, but 2 of them are against the same player. THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!

Yeah...I'm playing Ruthless twice right now...

Yeah I thought that was kind of weird too.

My email said that I should have been playing FBG-Dragon

I think that with the way it is set up,ave play it matches you with opponents that you played least that are closest to your ranking. but if you are receiving more than one game, it doesn't calculate the first one it gives you into how many times you have played that person. in other words, it chooses both games in parallel, instead of treating them in circuit

This is a bug that Fizzer mentioned somewhere else and that's about to be fixed soon.

1 win and 1 loss with the current top player. I'll take it!

Especially when it's his first loss :)

I knew the undefeated streak was too good to be true. Now someone needs to beat Fizzer.

My game versus Soyrice is not going so hot.. but it's still too early to tell.

I am curious further on this question.. as i noticed that the email notification tells you about new games prior to telling you about your fall in rank.. just want to ensure that you are being paired up due to your fallen/inclined rankings as opposed to your initial rankings..

Yes. New ratings are calculated before games are created.
