Normally 9-8 is better than 8-7, but dunno what they do here.

Imo those should be considered equal and head to head should be considered in that case. The extra win doesn't matter cause there's also an extra loss.

Still not sure what's the tiebreaker

Map score --> head to head apparently.


Then no one on the casting couch knows how tiebreakers work lol

the players don't know either considering the earlier Serral - Stephano "controversy"

Yeah agree with that. It's definitely an insignificant difference either way, so it should be h2h.

So if my calculations are right, the only score that eliminates Drogo is Zest 2-1 Lambo.

It's what they do with goal scoring in many sports. And if I know any math 9-8 is the better ratio

8/7 = 1.14
9/8 = 1.13

It's not a massive difference but 8-7 is still better ratio
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs
