Theoretically it seems slightly worse for large groups. As previously if someone got in and got tickets for one group, they could try and get in again. That's not going to be possible now as they'll be at the back of the queue.
But yeah, if people with bot farms were getting lots of tickets then that might be reduced (but it's always an arms battle with this sort of thing) which increases everyone elses chances.
Put it this way, I assume that if he's been asked, he'll take it. But he just might not have been at the top of the list for who they were chasing. (Which feels strange to me in itself, but if they have the budget to go bigger, why not?)
