There are 9 teams alive.
Team 2 wipes out team 7 (should be 9th place)
Team 13 dies to the blue zone (should be 8th place)
Team 2 knocked player (by the last man standing of team 7, already wiped) bleeds out.
There now are 7 teams alive (screenshot).
Team 13 gets 9th, team 7 8th.
Can't make sense of this other than if a player you knocked bleeds out after you die counts as you being still involved in the game, giving you a higher placement in case other teams die in between.
Is this a thing in pubg, or was it a lag related placement bug?
