I'm pretty sure that one of the things that will happen to help Merc and Em win without it being a complete asspull is that Cinder chose biomes that will help Merc and Em and hinder Coco and Yatsu.

I mean, the biomes are supposedly randomized, too, right? Who's to say Cinder can't also choose the biomes? It makes sense.

RWBY vs ABRN - Both of the biomes had Dust in them. Weiss made great use of the ice Dust in the ice biome, in order to make the giant hand and the ramp. The ramp was vital to their four-person team attack.

JNPR vs BRNZ - This match was set up to favor Nora, obviously. Nolan's cattle prod + Stormy mountain biome = One easy win for Nora.

Funny thing is, I think Cinder intended for NDGO to win, not SSSN. Nebula said "Home field advantage" when she saw the desert biome. There's no way to know for sure if Cinder knew about Neptune's water phobia, but consider this: Apparently, Team SSSN is not good at keeping secrets.


 * Sun - "And the best part is, she's a Faunus! ... But that's a secret!"


 * Neptune - Sun telling him "And I mean secret-secret, not a 'Tell Scarlet the moment Sun turns his back' secret!"


 * Sun, once again - Well, someone told Blake about Neptune's water phobia.
