does anyone else feel like we get an insane amount of tiebreakers for the last few years? can someone better with expected values than me do the math

Just to be very clear, I strongly support the idea. I thought I'd commented but maybe not. Some bullet points: Draft is incredibly fun, and has a huge community, the two main things I care about when involving a tier in SCL I think that the Drafting process backed by a high level team would be...
