Level 2Even / skillLevel 2 is likewise undetermined and treated as skill-based — neither side has a proven edge.
Level 3Even / skillLevel 3 remains a skill matchup by default since no meaningful sample exists to suggest either side has a kit advantage.
Levels 4-5Even / skillLevel 4 stays even for the same reason — insufficient data to color this phase either way.
