Hi @PlanetOfRedDevil,

 

In case of a Tie in the Grand Arena Championship, the player with the higher viable GP gets the win. There is currently an issue where the viable GP wasn't calculated correctly. The official announcement about can be found HERE.

@PlanetOfRedDevil same thing happened to me. Pitty that they have known about this for over a month and not fixed it yet!

@OnePunchEbbs It was fixed less than a week later.

It's a common misconception that it's not working properly just because players can't see the viable GP, so they assume the game bugged. There should be clarifying communications later this week.

You are right about the viable GP. It is something I only really got to know today (thanks to my guild) after posting on here earlier. I’ll admit that I was not as informed as I could have been.

That being said, the current system does not convey the true values behind the decision-making of who wins a tie and it is understandable that this user-unfriendliness will lead to this kind of confusion.

No one will go tally their opponent’s Top 40 toons’ viable GP to compare against their own for the sake of seeing whether there is a bug in the system or not.

CG could easily improve the transparency of the results by showing the viable GP of an opponent under the username of said opponent as seen before entering the arena. Or something to that effect.
