seal rock = RNG.

Very rarely rng can actually be blamed, I.e a close 3 or 2 way game and double S spawns in a leading gcs yard while the last contested nodes are the other side of the map.

Agreed.

Just about every spawn pattern has a "best" tomelith for your team to go after; you can only blame RNG for tomelith spawns screwing you over in the situation described above (which isn't incredibly common) and when 4 tomeliths are spawning and they spawn in such a way where there are 2 sets in close proximity to each other in the opposing GCs' backyard (such as the cliff + arch spawns east and right in front of the cave spawn + up ramp in west), but again, I rarely see that happen.

In my opinion, RNG takes a backseat in Seize to concepts such as Prisoner's Dilemma (someone made a thread about this a while back), Nash equilibrium, and Stag hunt, because often times you are far more influenced by what actions the 3rd GC takes.
