Imagine two teams that are perfectly equal in strength, and they play 100 games without changing even one player, but of course adapting to each other and continuously changing strategies.

In
the
narrow
sample
you
observed
the
two
players
could
well
play
the
same,
if
for
the
one
900
elo
higher
it
is
an
unfamiliar
or
just
unfavorable
situation.
However,
consider
that
there
are
many
situations
and
environments
in
ZK
that
all
influence
the
"casual"
rating.
It
is
likely
that
your
higher-ranking
player
is
significantly
better
in
many
of
those.

Even the "lobsterpot" room continuously oscillates between modes such as 3v3 and 16v16 - those are entirely different settings with drastically different strategies and skills needed.
