I know you can check for your next opponent on each round, but is there any way to predict future matches beyond that? Does health, previous encounters, have anything to do with it, or is it just random?

I'm asking cause i've been in situations where there's 3 teams alive (A, B and C) and one of the teams has to fight 3 rounds in a row (ex: A vs B, A vs C, A vs B again).

It’s round Robin, with making sure that you don’t fight back to back. So you could have

AvB, AvC, AvD, AvC, AvD, AvB

You fight teams an equal number of times on the round Robin, but with some variance on the order

How come the teams aren't rotated on top 3?

I've noticed a couple games where I had to fight back to back for several rounds in a row while the enemy essentially just got a game off every other game.

You shouldn't fight a team back to back unless there's only two teams. On the first round there are three teams, whichever team has the most life remaining will get the first bye, unless doing that would cause a repeat matchup

But how does it work when it's down to 3 teams? And how are there instances where one team fights 3 fights in a row when there are only 3 teams? Shouldn't it be AvB, AvC, then BvC? I have games where it's AvB, AvC, then AvB again

That's a bug. If you have an example game ID where that happened, it would help us track down the bug. The bye should rotate regardless unless a second team gets eliminated.

I see, so it's analogous to the system Tetris uses. What about the 3 teams scenario? How does the game decide which ones fight first?

It prefers the team with the most health (coin flip if there's a tie), UNLESS that would cause a back to back fight.
