Is GetInitialPlayers() guaranteed to return teams together?

Suppose the matchmaker finds a match:

Team A: Player1, Player2

Team B: Player3, Player4

Is GameserverSDK.GetInitialPlayers() guaranteed to return something like:

Player1, Player2, Player3, Player4

or Player3, Player4, Player 1, Player 2

or any other configuration where Player 1/2 are next to each other, and Player 3/4 are next to each other?

In other words, when my game server is assigning players to teams, can I just split the list in two and assign one half to the first team and the other half to the second team?

Hi Brent, as far as I am aware, GameserverSDK.GetInitialPlayers() does not explicitly guarantee that Player 1/2 and 3/4 are next to each other so that you can simply split them in half. I think it’s safer to assign players to teams according to MatchmakingPlayerWithTeamAssignment returned from GetMatch.
