Yes, you can. Blizzard said it's a bannable offense.

This topic has been under debate for the longest time, you'll be surprised at the number of farmers, yet I haven't seen anyone get banned except for those that used a bot to do it. It doesn't matter how you lose the game, I think Blizzard was referring to team games when they made that statement.

I swear they said that instantly leaving a game is an offence but just throwing games such as doing a terrible strategy isnt an offence. They can't really tell you to play a certain way to win, you are allowed to play as you like. No?
No, Your Quote.

If blizzard feel like you're exploiting the system some how I'm sure they'll ban you if they feel like it. They don't need any evidence. If you drop 130 games in a row it would be a pretty crazy coincidence, it just wouldn't happen by random chance.

Even if he doesnt get banned, it's gonna take him hundreds of games to get back up there since the MMR system made it way harder to climb back up if ur mmr dropped drastically, so he's gonna pay for it regardless.

I'm sure that's what he wants. Now he can win ALOT, his opponents wont stand a chance because he abused the system.

He didnt cheat to get into GM he has beaten rank 1 masters (1.2k) if you check his match history. Throwing games to vs bronze leaguers is not cheating to get into GM.

well i personally don't like GM league that much. it was really fun when blizzard announced best 200 of each region it was like really interesting to look and examine. Now that GM is out it feels meh.

other than that if you're not good enough to be in GM league what's the point to be in there? it is fun and all but please to brag is no where as fun as being able imo.

I'm not sure I get what he has supposed to have done. He has been GM the entire season. He threw tons of games, started playing Bronze, and is now playing Silver as his MMR improves. He didn't drop out of GM at any point (unless SC2ranks is wrong).

If anything I guess he just threw games so he could curbstomp lesser players? It's certainly not to get a good win/loss, cos his is now terrible. And it's not to get into GM, cos he was already there.

Guys it's simple, if he did it super quickly when he was in GM and his bonus pool didn't get over 200 but his MMR was low enough to vs shit players (No offence) he would stay in GM with 0 points then start from there. Notice that despite his ELO being bronze level he only gets 1 point per win and 19 for a loss. As long as you keep your bonus pool low you can't get demoted back to Masters simply by having a loss streak, only if your bonus pool rises too high (See pros that travel overseas for tours and they're home ladder they get sent back to Masters) and he abused this fact but he was initially a GM player, you cant cheat to GM using this

Are you serious?

Can you imagine being in bronze or silver league and facing a GM player?

Sounds hilarious now, not to you back then.

why should he get banned. He is stupid - yes, but nothing worth banning him since he didn't cheat. This just proves that GM is bugged - which we already know
