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......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.

And how do you know they don't match-up someone from the 0 to 0 loss with one of the winners from round 1? Sounds like you're just assuming they don't do that...and then you're assuming that someone who loses round 1 is "likely" to beat another loser from round 2? If 4 players lose in round 1 and then get matched up in round 2, then 2 will win and 2 will lose. That's a .500 win rate....not a "likely" to win. Regardless, seems like a lot bigger deal is being made out of this than is necessary. Life isn't 100% fair. The new system is going to push players towards a .500 winning percentage. One single round with some infrequent highly specific set of facts isn't really going to have much impact in the overall scheme one way or the other.
