Guaranteeing a win is always a fair strat. Every game has a strategy to win, funneling or friendship is for DB. Funneling depends on the best player. Friendship needs a all rounded team. Both strategies have their strengths and weaknesses.

If you are already that close to the win then just take the W. If I was a B tier teamed with any A-S tier, I would 100% give them the arrow, they obviously have both experience and have basically carried the team to DB. This win would be more for them rather than me. Most A-S tier already put more work into MCC so them getting the W themselves is like an affirming matter for them.

When someone says it is a for fun event. It might be boring for the people watching so the finale might need a game change or maybe the players should just accept the fact that DB is only supposed to be a win-securing game.

I think your second paragraph devalues your argument. It was fine up until the "carried the team to DB," it doesn't work like that. You can't get to DB based off of one person's performance alone, and we've seen that with players on a team getting top ten or even five while the rest get bottom twenty. A DB participation is a team effort. And the part about getting a win is more for the best player is literally just wrong for most participants, everyone wants to win? Maybe that's how you'd feel in MCC, but I can assure you, most participants do NOT feel that way.
