I said already, the best strategies for the top tiers have been empirically proven to be better than the best low tier strategies. If a top tier player plays horribly and doesn't utilize their character's strengths at all, then sure, it would be possible for a low tier player to beat them. However, if a top tier played their character in a way so that the low tier has very few options to beat it, then the low tier player will almost never win. If the low tier plays a certain strategy, the top tier can create a tactic to beat the low tier's strategy, but the low tier cannot do the same.
