Hello to all Bombastic players!
BSL5 is going really well with over 200 players already registered and played their games.
Meanwhile, we noticed unusual activity from the current #1 ranked TestID. We investigated this account's stats and it revealed that every single of TestID's games lasted no longer than 15 seconds. Moreover, all his ladder wins came from only two opponents, which accounts can't be viewed and probably were deleted. The only TestID's loss came from third opponent and his account can be accessed. With that said, we assume that fairness of TestID matchmaked stats is questionable and we temporary remove this account from competition. We are asking owner of TestID account to contact BSL administration via Discord or email admin@bombasticstarleague.com and clarify this situation.

Good effort. But what can you do when people start cheating with this method in a less obvious fashion? You can only detect this by comparing game logs when cheaters are not smart about it.
The elephant in the room is that blizzard ladder is obviously not safe towards intentional manipulation.
