In 4v4 elimination (or it could honestly be deathmatch, i only play when my mate is on, I prefer dominion), everyone starts in their own little 1v1. But it's a little frustrating when an opponent has proven he/she is better than me, then i match them in the 1v1 start off 3 times in a row. I accept that they have beaten me, but don't hand them 2 more essentially free rounds of 3v4 because of my short comings against at least one of them.

tl;dr: I should never start off 1v1ing someone in elimination more than once.
