He won because he had a higher GP but I don’t think he gets any rewards for the round win as I think you have to score a minimum of 10 points to get rewards for the round.

I don’t think the GP tiebreaker is kicking in though. In my group only 3 people have wins after the first round.

This ?. There are brackets where after round 1, 3 people have a win, and 5 people have a loss. So in a 0-0 point situation in which both do nothing, both lose. The tiebreaker system from the previous GAC either isn't working, or got removed.

Dude this was already answered multiple times. Read up.

You lose if you do nothing. Tie breakers kick in if you do something, such as attempt one attack (and get the 10 free attack banners).

Unless I'm mistaken, CG never stated that you "lose if you do nothing". They said that you won't get any rewards if you don't do anything. They never talking about losing. They also never said that tiebreakers wouldn't kick in if both had 0 points. I was under the assumption that one person would still win by tiebreaker (for the sake of tournament progression), but wouldn't get the rewards for doing so, so it'd kinda be like a "pseudo-win". I'm not 100% sure on this, as I haven't read all of the Q & A, so if some of that was answered there, please point me to that paragraph, or quote it to prove me wrong/clear things up. I just think it's weird having 3 people with 1 win and 5 people with 0 wins after round 1. How would they decide who to match with the 3rd person that got a win? Sounds pretty imbalanced to me.

It says it literally in game.

Click a zone.

“You must earn at least 10 banners from any battle to qualify for rewards.”

"They never talking (sic) about losing"

It says in game if you don’t get 10 banners you don’t get rewards.

Did people really think you would win with no rewards? Of course this is a loss.

No rewards and no win are two different things. If one person isn't awarded a win, there are only three people in the group at 1-0 and five at 0-1. How do matchups work now?

Thank you, friend. This was basically my point, yes.

Winning is considered a reward now as skill rating changes are based on winning.

I am aware of that. I was just thinking that they should give the person who wins the tiebreaker the "pseudo-win" for tournament progression's sake. They could simply put a "1" next to their profile to show that they won the tiebreaker, but not give them actual rewards (neither skill rating, nor items/materials etc.) That way it won't have to give the 3rd person that won a random matchup from the 5 people that lost. Don't get me wrong, I agree that people who don't participate shouldn't get rewards. But I just think they should at least give a visual indication of a win to avoid confusion and keep things a bit more fair. Imagine you're someone who tried their best and lost their match. But instead of fighting a loser from round 1 (that you'd likely beat), you get to face a winner from round 1, and might lose again. That is pretty unfair towards that one person that gets chosen to fight the winner from round 1, despite losing their own first match.
