to bronze this season.

My friend in gold/plat just played against this player called EGIdra who was bronze, and lost against him.
Thought it was funny considering he's bronze, and called idra and all, and my friend lost against him.
Then he checked up the guy's profile and he's 55 wins 0 losses atm, and was master last season.
By the way, this is on eu servers, it kinda makes you wonder heh

Sandbagging and/or new accounts.

Some people are retarded. They can't handle playing against people their own skill level, or can't stand losing a game. So they just force the game to set them up with lower level players to just get free kills or portrait farm.

Maybe I'm just missing something, but stomping people lower than my level isn't that fun.

The thing is he was top diamond season 1, top diamond season 2, master season 3, so it wasn't a new account.

Sandbagging?

Searching something on google isn't that hard... Anyways.

"When a player in any game chooses (on purpose) to not play their best. Normally this is because they are too superior, they want to hustle you, or they are too lazy to play their best with nothing on the line."

Summed up anyways.

In SC2, it pretty much means you are a high ranking person, but you purposefully lost games so it would put you in a low league. Therefore, you can play against people much less skilled than you to farm portraits, or just to troll.

i'm sure you could figure this out if you really wanted to, but:

- he is some mediocre player using idra's tag, normally hoovers around dia-master
- he intentionally lost enough games to tank his MMR, which in turn demotes his leagues down to low low low bronze
- now he's playing people for easy wins for some unknown purpose (but if you were a betting man you could guess it's for an easier time unlocking portraits) and the players are SO bad and it's taking the system a long long time to correct his MMR to his actual MMR, so he goes 55-0
