I am not sure about this, but there have been instances where even if you get more number of eliminations compared to your teammates, you don’t get the MVP.
@TC_Clown posted a photo attesting to this, check it out:

Oh good spot. thank you, I don’t even want to begin to describe how that works.
Long story short couldn’t we just go back to the points system? 
Basically, its tough to understand the mechanics of MVP (everyone is confused).
You need someone from TC to explain how it works.
I’d like to think we’ll get clarification from them some time soon. Sooner rather than later to be honest because I know people are frustrated with how it works. I just try to ignore it if possible just take part and that’s it.
If they wanted to do this, they should have done this at the start of OP4, with the introduction of GP system.
I don’t think they are interested in explaining how this works.
Yeah. Highly doubt we’ll get any info then. I’d like to think TC have noticed people wanting to go back on the old scoreboard. Time will tell I suppose.
You mean it doesn’t work like running around a getting kills on the way to the hill like this?
Does that count as future content?
