After a tie in a best-of-three match, does 'maintaining the starting play' mean only the same player goes first, or does it also mean battlefields and Chosen Champions remain unchanged?

Ruling: 'Starting play' refers only to which player goes first. The same player who went first in the drawn game goes first in the next game. Battlefields and Chosen Champions do not remain unchanged; you begin the next game in the same fashion you always do.

Nuances:

• The rule appears to contain a typo where 'play' should read 'player'
• If the previous game had a loser, that loser would choose who goes first instead
• The handling of battlefields in 4th+ games after a draw remains unaddressed in the thread
