It's not in my control who is going to drop MMR or Wintrade or w/e yeap we had some free wins out of this team and there was one more that is true but what can i do about it? I don't know them, it happened. we have been stuck around 1950 rating for so long many times that it self proves we deserve 2k rating, it is true we got lucky but this combo needs luck since every paladin team is hard counter to us. This is why our icon is Dice. This picture proves nothing if we were boosted team we would never get to 1900 at the first place and this is not the first time we got that rating.

All I wanted to say, from 1738 to 2000, you played only 5 real games, everything else looks like "wintrading". Maybe you guys got lucky to get into 14 games where people are according to you "dropping MMR", which somehow makes no sense since some of those "free wins" those guys had already 0 MMR.
I wonder why other teams dont have such ammount of free wins, oh wait some does, but they get purged for wintrading xD
this guy already tried to talk himself out of wintrading 2 weeks ago, see this post:

I don't know why he thinks people here are stupid and cannot see through this.
What a Clown OP is xD
I want to make one thing clear: I did not arrange, pay for, or coordinate with any of those teams. I don't know those players, and I had no control over who the matchmaking system put us against.
We simply queued for arena and played whoever the system matched us with. If the opposing team left, intentionally dropped MMR, or was involved in something else, that was their decision—not ours. We accepted the wins that the game awarded us, just like any other team would.
If anyone has actual evidence that I communicated with those teams or participated in any kind of win trading, they are welcome to present it. But accusing me based solely on the fact that I was matched against teams that forfeited is not proof that I cheated.
I understand that the match history raises questions, but there is an important difference between benefiting from opponents who leave and actively organizing win trading. I did the former because it happened during normal queueing; I did not do the latter.
I'm happy to answer reasonable questions, but I won't argue over assumptions or accusations without evidence.
Listen. No one would really care if you were either insanely lucky or did pay (or self play on other accounts) for win trading to 2k. The biggest issue is, that you treat it like the BIG achievement "no one has ever done before" either on the forum here on in your YouTube channel / videos.
Fact is, your recent 2k achievement with that DK mate is just a BIG joke and I would personally be ashamed bragging and defending about it.
Nothing more to say.
I'm not ashamed, because most of you only see a match history—you don't know the journey behind it.
I didn't post the video to brag or disrespect anyone. I posted it because my friend and I finally reached a goal we've been chasing for over two years.
Back then, my friend was completely new to arena and didn't know much about PvP. One day he told me, "Let's get 2k with DK/Rogue." I honestly told him I didn't think it was possible, but we decided to try anyway.
For over two years we kept playing. I helped him learn DK, and he improved a lot. We lost countless games. We got stuck over and over again. We argued so much that we even stopped talking for months at a time. We quit the game more than once, then came back because we still wanted to achieve that goal.
This season we had our biggest argument yet and didn't speak for almost three months. Then one day I messaged him and asked if he missed playing together. He said yes. I told him, "Let's give it one last shot. No flaming, no bad feelings, no expectations—just one last try." He agreed, and that's why we named our team "Last Shot."
People only see the end result. They don't see the hundreds of games before it.
In previous seasons we had terrible luck. Every time we got close to 2k, we'd repeatedly queue into our hardest counters and our push would end there. This season, for the first time, luck went in the opposite direction.
Yes, we got several free wins from teams that left. I'm not denying that. I have no idea who those teams were or why they left. Maybe they were dropping MMR, maybe they were helping someone else. I honestly don't know. We simply queued normally and played whoever the matchmaking system gave us.
If that makes some people think the achievement is worth less, that's their opinion, and I can understand it. But please don't accuse me of win trading or cheating without any evidence. Those are two completely different things.
Looking back, maybe posting this was a mistake because people who don't know our journey only see the match history. That's okay. But I won't be ashamed of celebrating something my teammate and I spent years working toward.
I'm proud of my friend because I've seen how much he improved. I'm proud that after all the arguments, breaks, and failed attempts, we still came back and finally achieved our goal together.
And if people think this was only luck, that's fine. We'll queue again, keep improving, and try to prove ourselves next season too.
Good luck to everyone.
