Replay top player

[Dimooon]

I watched the builds of tops and saw it two days ago, decided to watch its replays now and saw the same thing. how can you be on the first line of the top list without fighting? or is this another bug and some players do not record replays?

To my knowledge, these players are abusing a bug that allows them to “choose” to match with an account that’s controlled by them, allowing them to farm wins (insta-quits don’t show up in replays iirc). I’ve probably missed something or described this poorly, so if anyone is more educated, feel free to correct me.

Your answer is correct yea. Sometimes it bugs to my knowledge, but that's very rare.

Most of the times when you see top players without, or with a few replays they boosted their way up like Coddiwomple described.
