I'm wondering which day and time slots are the best for successfully firing a 5-3-2-2.
In my recent brief snapshot scans, I'm not seeing these events firing. I've also unsuccessfully tried to queue for one in what I would think to be busier times (weekday afternoons), but I have not seen one successfully start.
I'd like to try out this format, but without dailies and with the current low EV from a ~$3 THS deck value, I'm not willing to play 1v1's.
Granted, from what I read, the competitiveness increases from 2P --> 5-3-2-2 --> Dailies, so the underlying assumption in the above table is all players are of equal skill. Using the current $3 THS deck value, I would still believe I have a better chance of winning my first match in a 5-3-2-2 than 2 of 3 matches in 2P.
Anyway, if I am missing something with the above, please let me know since this has been all "theoretical" on my part vs. actual experience.

Well, the ev from 1v1 is exactly the same as the 8 man. That being said, I try to play in these every day and I'm rarely successful.
The EV is the same across all the players but as your win % goes up the 8 man becomes a much better choice.

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.

By my calculations, the required win rate by format and deck value is pasted below:
Breakeven Win Rate by Deck Value @ $3, $3.50, and $4 deck values:
3X2P: 67%, 57%, 50%
8P 5-3-2-2: 60%, 55%, 50%
Daily: 48%, 46%, 43%

I meant that they don't fire - not that I don't win them when they do
