Some of you may have heard of it since 1 or 2 weeks but there are currently some VERY high mmr account appearing in the ladder
Today they entered the GM league and they looks very strange to say the least...

[image loading]
[image loading]

This kind of very high mmr is unheard of and would be likely impossible to reach under normal circumstances. To give you an idea of how absurd this mmr is, here is a twit from marinelord showing that a 1k mmr difference give +3 pts : https://twitter.com/MarineLorDSC2/status/1122581438606475264?s=20
Now imagine with a +2k mmr difference...
This would not even be possible to do alone as I remember seing parting winning 0 pts after winning vs someone 1k5 mmr below him

So there are 2 possibility : it's either a bug abuse or an account network win trading between them

It is theorically possible to reach this mmr with the second possibility, but for something of this magnitude it would require a lot of time, accounts and an automated system to win trade between all of these accounts during weeks. It would require so much accounts that it would be like a "second ladder" way above the normal one with hundred of accounts

It seems unrealistic to me as it would be something noticable since a long time

Imo it's likely a bug abuse

There are also a lot of strange things if we take a closer looks at the other stats : ascension lvl 1 000 (and trust me it takes A LOT of times, something like a thousand hours of playtime), all achievements...etc

There is also something strange with the number of games not being the same depending of which profile page you're looking at (91 vs 66 Terran games for example in the 2 pictures below)

[image loading]
[image loading]
Terran wins : 91
Terran career games : 66

When I tried to find these account on https://www.nephest.com/sc2/?#stats I noticed that all these account are names "lllllllllllll" except one named...Gangsterpig xd

That's all I could find, so if anyone have more informations about this don't hesitate to share !

Why not?I find this pretty funny considering how some people value the league and MMR stuff. But I don't play the game anymore

I wonder how this can be going for so long though. Like what metrics does Blizzard use to detect wrong stuff? Their horrible anti-cheat reputation is really well deserved.

It's just a twitch chat gm finally doing some laddering. Always knew their MMR was near 10k.

It is probably AlphaStar wintrading with another AlphaStar.

So, you could also post in the blizzard forum and ask for advice or anything else.

Fuck only knows, to me there are levels of cheating, from the ‘I don’t like it but it’s a dog eat dog world’ variety like buying a cheap penalty in football, through the ‘do you actually think you’re good, what are you getting out of this?’ variety of say, maphacking to ‘what is the fucking point of this?’ like glitching out a ladder.

At least there’s only a few of them, I’ve gone back for old times sake to see where I was on old leaderboards and I have no idea because there’s uncountable impossible identical glitches scores filling up all the ranks.
