most cv's imo prefer 4on4 games, instead of 2v2, since those give the best cv balance.
so they'll be joining the gb1's as well, thus leaving the gb2's without flagships

My only take here that has not yet been mentioned.

Before our current 'Welcoming Event' there were not all that many players out there that were NOT in a BB, CV, or SS. We would have rooms with 20 BBs, 0CVs, a few SSs, and a couple of FF/DD/CL/CAs but not enough for the 28 required to start. In another week or so, those 'new' players out there will have gotten their stuff and returned to their BBs and will find it hard to fill a room but it will not be BBs or CVs that will be lacking. I can see it all now a room with 16 BBs, 6CVs. and 10SSs. What do you think of that scenario?

best patch from $D3 in months, just because of the GB1 ressurection!

why GB1 is better than GB2 now:
1) bigger BB/CV limit;
2) less shared EXP;
3) more credits/points;
4) you can start a room without CVs;
5) no CV flagships, who would "crash" and crash most of the team with them.

If the GB1 is full with 20BBs and 8CVs, you can get more EXP than in GB2 because of 1) and 2), so just play good and you'll earn more EXP.

OK we already have a patch note running and no need for a second so please refer to the main stickied one
