p2w problem goes deeper than matchmaking
I can say with 1 million percent confidence the matchmaking system will always be rigged if they even ever change anything. But let's be real here. As long as tournaments only reward the top 6 in any bracket they are encouraging more people than otherwise would to look for ways to cheat the system. I already have said this on more than one occasion.
People openly discuss trying to seal-club on the reddit because of the broken matchmaking.
