This is a Rating Game, it's not just some simple power battle, the main purpose is to grade the performance of the team, there will be rules and regulation placed to it. That's why you can't be sure of who will win or who will lose. The deciding factor is on how the King uses his servants, overcome the opponent's strategy, the teamwork and so on.

The deciding factor between Ise and Dulio's or rather all matches isn't purely power, it also require wits, teanwork etc. Power plays an important role of course, but things like wits play as equally important role in a RG.

Also the rating also affect the points, Ise winning doesn't guarantee that he will move to the finals, if his rating continues to flop badly, he would still be eliminated. The main goal here isn't simply winning matches but rather to have the players show their skills and abilities etc. Ise is a King, he has to perform accordingly to his role.

So what's actually important here and now isn't Ise winning but rather Ise learning the quality of a King and performing well. There are 1400+ teams, the chances are plenty but there's no point if Ise wins a match (obtain 1 point, or points depending on the team) but lose in ratings (reduce a few points). The end result is still Ise not winning.
