i just want to explain why you lost against this "illegal" formation.
----DC------DC----
--------DMC--------
----MC------MC----
---AMC----AMC---
----ST--ST--ST----
even though this formation is called "illegal", but this formation is one of "samurai blade" formation to me,
because it SUPER STRONG in MIDDLE ATTACK and got some risk of weaker at side defend
so if you play 4-2-3-1, you are very WEAK at MIDDLE DEFEND
and your DL/DR has no real function at all,
your 2-DC need to handle those opposite 2-AMC and 3-ST
and you was using AMC to attack which easily being stopped by their DMC.
even though you are using wing attack, but it still 50-50 chance for you to score through wing attack,
but your opponent got 100% chance to score through middle attack because your middle defend relatively weak, what do you expect just 2 DC to stop 3 ST and 2 AMC ?
and you don't even got any DMC to support your middle defend
so, to lost this match is normal
your question about fixed result, the Jamaican test still didn't prove it, so tactics and player quality still matters in this game in my opinion until now.
looks like i cannot answer another problem because it seems reasonable
i hope you can learn something through more rational analysis instead just keeping the same tactic and hoping for same result against any opponent
