Global Championship trick/flawed?

I’ve been noticing a lot of players in second and 3rd place quit out right before the game ends if they know they are not going to win (which results in 0 points). Therefore if they win getting 8 points, so as long as they place first they remain with an intact average of 8

I’m just wondering if this is true or are these players just stupid and childish for not winning?

You get 3 free DNFs per week where your score will be unaffected due to networking conditions being able to drop you from games unfairly. You can freely quit as it results in a Dnf and the game wont count towards your average score. Again, you only get 3 Dnfs per week though.

Did not know this. thank you

This was all explained with the official announcements.

I don’t know why in the hell they would pick swat for this…It’s such a terrible game mode.
