This definitely needs to be fixed, it actually was fixed for the most recent atomic championship qualifiers (and for some of last year's spell chess qualifier apparently), not sure why it's rating based instead of ranked based for this one.

Until when pairings are keep going to be rating-based???
This happens in every qualifier arena in the variants server, 4pc, atomic, spell chess (even last year)
2200+ players playing against each other every time, even getting the same opponent 5 times in a row. Meanwhile having less than 1700 barely knowing how to play the game guarantees you to not get paired against a single 2000.
