hrm how about implementing kills and wins based shuffle based on past 2 games? First their would be shuffle based on kills. i.e. Player A (30 kills) vs Player B (28 kills) Player C (26 Kills) vs Player D (27 kills) Then it checks the win probability... aka if player A has won last 2 map and player B has won 1 map... then we move Player A to last loosing team and player B to winning team... This way every 2 maps their can be auto shuffle.. and after each auto shuffle.. it makes sure that player doesn't end up in loosing team for more then 2 times in a row. Let's be realistic.. no one likes to be in loosing team forever. This way newbies don't get slaughtered all the maps and after every 2 maps they can be put with winning players. We are not including here deaths.. cos for me.. K/D can be useless .. Ex: If a player Y kills 10 players and dies 2 time in 15 mins map..and if Player Z kills 30 players and dies 24 times...I would prefer player Z in my team rather then player Y ... cos player Z has more kills. Skills matter on 1 vs 1 game or scrims but on public servers.. I need someone who can kill more players in my team so engineers can do obj.. or let's say who is more active on field rather then camping.. And then auto lock of teams for next 1/4th time of map so players can fuck up shuffle which they normally do after auto shuffle ...and go back to winning team and make things more worse again.

Possible to release windows version of it? Getstatus fix in the etded in itself is nicer! May be possible to add how to on our wiki so new admins know how to use it? If u don't have account on our wiki please let me know and I can add it for u... Thanks!
