Can Battlegrounds go for infinite matches?

In game theory, we call nash equilibrium a solution - a game state in which both players know their best strategies and neither can benefit from changing their own.

Basically...what I'm asking, is there a situation in which two final players get a perfect board of minions - which can't be improved upon, resulting in an infinite number of draws?

I can sniff out that rng is a big saving factor here...a random circumstance/influence in an action taken in the game could determine a decisive outcome. However, it's not too naive to assume that there could be a situation where even bad rng does not result in a loss...we are talking perfect nash equilibrium.

Even if this does not go forever, having lets say 30 draws in a row vs the final boss would be pretty cool and lame at the same time.

As players, we will get better and better (and the best players will converge to the same best solution) in this relatively new format so I would not be surprised if something like this happens in the near future.
