Death Match Mode-After Gear Score Matchmaking, how are teams selected?

I haven't seen any post regarding this, forgive me if it has and delete this thread.
Okay, so Death Match Mode matchmaking is definitely gear score based.
So once the 10 ships have been picked for battle, what is the secondary factor for basing who goes on each team?
I have seen evidence that team selections are based on infamy.
Currently I play at 3100 infamy with MK5 speeder, with a top gear score of 7200(with my best weapons, EC and BC).
So in death mode, most of my opponents are MK5's ranging from 1000 to 2500 infamy.
After the battle results are posted I click on each profile to see the infamy of the players on my team, versus the enemy team.
In almost every battle my 3100 infamy is matched with 4 other players ranged from 1000 to 2000 infamy. And the other team is typically between 1800 and 2500 infamy.
This concludes me to believe TEAMS within each battle are matched so that AVERAGE infamy is about even between each team.
If this just happened in one or two death matches, I'd say it was coincidence, but this is a trend within all my battles.
After amassing a 60% loss ratio in death match I was curious why my teams sucked so bad(because naturally I don't suck.... )
Not really complaining, because I am still getting one or two stars in my losses, but just curious if anyone else sees this trend?

 

I want to know too. Im only in 2200 infamy with 6500 gear score. I get paired against a enforcer that has 3700 infamy with 7500 gear score. Of course, my whole team got murdered that round.

 

Screen shots of my last 4 death match battles. Pretty much confirms that infamy is the deciding factor in matching which 5 players on each team. I’m always the highest infamy in any battle and normally I’m matched with the lowest 3 or 4 infamy out of the 10. Again. This isn’t a complaint at all, I’m just learning how the new system works. I am playing my normal load out gear scores. But if any high infamy guys switch to low ranked weapons they should be aware that their high infamy will match them with the lowest ranked players in the battle and the game expects you to carry your team to the win.

 

How are teams selected? Simple.. Let me explain it for you.

You're on team A. Machmaker gets another 9 players and puts them into a queue, and that queue is sorted based on player's intelligence from the lowest values (less intelligent) to the highest values (more intelligent).
Then teams are selected.
It gradually iterates through the list, always pops the first player (with the lowest intelligence of all remaining), puts him/her into your team, if any free spots (if not, player is put on other team), and removes him/her from the queue. The process ends when the queue is empty. And..

Voilà, teams are selected

 

C'mon Rovio, change that. I hate being the last pick

 

Please change this.

But then again...

You guys wanted this. I hate it, everyone at my gear score is shit ( even though I said that a thousand time, I still feel like saying it.)

 

I think this has worked great. All of those 1k infamy people with mk5 or 6 boats and t4 items are now matched with others, even if those others are 3k+ infamy. There's no cheating this system by intentional dropping of infamy. The matchmaking is based on ship mk, crew training and item level. Most balanced I've seen in matchmaking. Matchmaker can't help it if powerful item holders are just sh#tty players...

 

I’ve won the large majority, but receive only one star, because I’m almost always last or second-to-last infamy score (making it more difficult to stand out). Very odd.
