Is Premium worth it for this game?

Didn't work this morning. Got paired against someone outside the level settings.

You've only played against Elite players in the last couple of days.

1. Level settings in Arena refer only to leagues (bronze, silver, etc.), not to elo ranks. You can't filter by elo rank in Arena, that is the purpose of Arena.

2. Once you reach Elite, there is not much gained in filtering by level any more. What you gain or lose depends only on the EAS, and Elite players may have a lower EAS than players in other leagues. You may assume that the proportion of good players with higher EAS (and possibly higher elo) is larger in Elite, but I'm not sure that is true.

Ahh, so really the filtering doesn't do anything.

It does something, just maybe not what you wish it did.

When I'm in silver league, it keeps me from facing ppl in bronze.

It also stops me from games that are 1 move a day. (I prefer 4 or 8 turns)
