Guild Wars 2

How are tie games determined? I just played a game that ended in a tie and the red team won. Does this always happen, or is there something else taken into account in the case of a tie?

Red team earned more glory. It might be based on kills rather than glory (I’m not 100%) but I know it is one of the 2.

I thought I read somewhere before that the Red team always wins

It may sound weird that the red team will always win a tie, but to be honest it’s completely (that I know of) random what team color you will get. So basically it’s a 50-50 pre-determined kind of state.

Is that like tails never fails? hehe

Yes. And I expect a full accompaniment of “Nerf Red” and “Buff Blue” QQ posts to take over the front page of the board too.

If the team scores are tied, we compare total player scores for each team. In this case, it looks liked the red team had a total of 50 more player-score.

That makes sense, thanks a lot for that clarification Evan!
