The outcome will depend upon whether or not the pilots involved are more interested in competing and testing their tactics, versus preserving their online reputations and arguing about the validity of their stances.
If the former, then a squad duel will most likely happen. If the latter, then it will probably continue as it has until players either grow disinterested and leave, or find a new players to shift their focus to.
We're always up for a squad duel. We had a 2v2, Kruel and I vs. Changeup and Triton. They did surprisingly well, considering. We're always ready to go again, either the same format or with larger numbers. Our primary focus has always been squadron vs squadron competitions, and we welcome that opportunity here.
