In CW game i do top 2014 dmg, and get 431 score, but player, who do only 638 dmg get more match score than me oO. Incredible.

Maybe a "ballsiness-bonus" for only using one mech ?
But that looks odd indeed, mate .

The matchscore is divided by the number of mech you have used. You used 3, he used 1.
Have you not died, you would get 431*3=1293

Match score - is an indicator of how developers estimate efficiency of the player. The real indicator of efficiency of the player on battlefield is damage that he has caused. I don't understand how the player who gathered damage points 3 times smaller can be better than the one who received the best result in two teams. With 638 points of dmg it didn't bring any contribution in a victory.

Actually as a measure of efficiency damage alone is very inaccurate.
You could end a public-queue match with 800dmg points and not have contributed anything to a victory because you spend the whole match cutting up a disconnected Direwolf while your team did the fighting for you.
On the other hand you could end a match with 4 kills and not even 150 damage because you managed to take out 4 'mechs with clean dual-gauss headshots, clearly contributing a lot to winning.

Those are, of course, extreme examples but they are simply meant to illustrate the point.

As to CW matches, not dying gives points, as does scouting, covering others with ECM, countering the ECM of enemies, spotting, etc.
Just because that particular player doesn't have a very high damage count does not mean they didn't contribute to your victory. Maybe they really didn't and it's a bug but we will never know.

It everything particulars and they aren't important

It not the main thing. The main thing is how many you mechs destroyed or helped to destroy.
