Probably you are right. This is the more logical answer to my post.
It is so logical that I also have thought about it before posting.

But the point is:

By playing CT you loose enthusiasme.
Playing CT makes you more "lucky" but next match you loose defense and rebound.
If you play CT again, you will be again more "lucky" (more or less than before???), and maybe this "more luck" can compensate the lower defense and rebound.

I just wonder whether this is true or not, and I expect an answer like this: "You are wrong, I played two consecutives CT and it was a disaster!".

I hope someone understand my doubt...

There is no "luck buildup" as far as I know or have ever experienced.

Playing CT temporarily boosts a teams effectiveness. The following game the team will lose effectiveness. The level of boost to their effectiveness and the drop is based on the level of enthusiasm.

There is no cumulative effect of CTs. That would be silly. I am sure the games are correct. If anyone experiences anything in their own team that seems to backup this "luck" theory then come back with it.

I am talking about luck, but I mean this random factor mentioned in the news about the ME changes. As you say, it would be silly if my theory is true. Silly if it was planned like that, and bug if not.
I guess not many people played consecutive CTs because this does not seem very clever.

Thanks for your answer!

The random factor from what I know of the BB's thinking is the random factor of individual player performance in a particular day.

I know they did change how enthusiasm effects the GE and I will bring it to their attention if someone can report that they are getting successful wins from several CTs in a row.

The fact that someone won consecutively on several CTs doesn't mean that the reason for this was the CT. I if someone CTs in a match they would win no matter what, should this make you lose it? Hmm....

After 1 CT your ability to win the next game playing CT should be greatly diminished.

After 2 or 3 CT matches it should be basically impossible unless the other team has the same enthusiasm as you (1)

well.. after 2/3 CT your enthusiasm is low, and that's why you should have a hard time winning. The "effect" of CTing isn't any different though.
