Depends, look at Season 14, the winner lost to MoD, and the winner's alt (MAYBE) also lost to MoD (then surrendered in all his games and left the ladder)

@Ben, whom you mean by "winner's alt" ?

@KKND
Marquis de Vauban (both are Gnuffone's alts)

Well the winner is an alt, Killua Zaoldyeck. If we look at MoD's games, we see that he defeated Killua and Marquis de Vauban. Nobody is sure if Gnuffone or Red was using that account during seasonal, but after Marquis lost to MoD, he surrendered all of his games and left the ladder. Also controversial is that MoD played his own account, but after he beat himself, desi surrendered in all his games.

So basically, without "cheating" MoD would have won that season.

So both of them cheated and Mike would have won seasonal without cheating

Added Largest clan and highest level player.

I'm not gonna defend either of them, just saying facts, you can say who cheated and who didn't.

@Pulsey DARKLORDS doesn't count as a clan.

Yes they are.

Also added most successful clan, (clan with most clan leagues A won) - WM and apex.

yeah i joined with desi (not from beginning of the season). Believe it or not, i just wanted to Play more great games on guiroma where my opponents take it serious. i was pretty much shocked that i got a matchup with myself (even if desis rating was pretty low at that Point) and threw all my games with desi as result.

Problem not solved, still shady, but at least i can admit i did a mistake and won't do it again.

I don't see how Wazz has a rating of 2415. An alt? Otherwise Sze has 2401.

Edit: Yves has 2403.

If you go to his RT ladder page (https://www.warlight.net/LadderTeam?LadderTeamID=4333), you'll see on his graph that he hit 2415 early on, before ratings and ranks became "official". I'm not sure if that should count as an official record or not, but he did hit the highest rating ever.

Also, Yves' top rating is 2403, not 2401. Sze has 2401 currently, so he could pass that if he plays the ladder more and wins.

i think its only fair to count ranked ratings,unranked ratings can be decieving
check this for instance:-

this was after just 3 games on the ladder,so it should not be taken seriously
our current rating of 2020 seems much more accurate

Wow. You guys take these "records" and "achievements" a bit too seriously.

How about a suggestion: Just as Major League Baseball doesn't recognize records for players that juiced, maybe you could not recognize stats for players who gamed the system or cheated to get such high stats.

If you want people to play fair and exhibit good sportsmanship, don't award or acclaim people who do the opposite.

Ryiro : Wazz's 2415 was a ranked rating. The only reason reason why it doesn't appear is because the rt ladder hadn't become official yet.

Strategos : There is no arbitrary line on whether someone 'gamed the system' or not. I think these records should be objective.
