Fair point. It’s definitely not each and every time. But I would wager a majority of the time, especially with how GAC matchups have been lately with huge differences in GP everywhere but the highest leagues.
Also you’re not accounting for why CG implemented ties to work this way. They likely did it because it is more likely to favor people who choose to spend money on the game as players who spend money tend to have higher GP thanks to things such as LS bundles. So I may have worded it poorly, but the point is that the system is intentionally favoring these players despite already having the advantage of getting what they bought and I think that should be changed in the case of ties.
