what's the difference between ''tie'' and ''draw'' meaning ''equal''? Can I use it for non-sport?
I don't know if there's a better word for it, please let me know.

e.g. Talking about the quality of an artist/idol, there are 2 people and they are equally talented.
in terms of singing X is better than Y, so is 1-0. But in terms of dancing X is as good as Y, so it's a ________.
(meaning both are great i.e there is no winner)
I heard that in AmE ''tie'' is the most common

Answer

"tie" and "draw" are better used when there is an objective (measurable) result as opposed to a subjective result (opinion).  A word that could be used to fill in your blank is "wash".  This is an idiomatic expression that is commonly used in exactly the situation that you have described.

Answer

They have  about the same meaning and both are used in America. We had a famous game show called "Win, Lose or Draw" which was a play on words because the game involved drawing.

Answer

Hola Victoria! Tie y draw son básicamente lo mismo pero solo se usan en contexto de competencia (aunque no necesariamente tiene que ser de deporte). Si te querés referír a la calidad y cualidades de algún artista, no tendría mucho sentido usar tie o draw; a menos que en tu ejemplo sea basado en algo como una competencia de canto y baile. Pero si no, basta con decir "They're just as good, just as talented, etc"
