I DID IT. Not only did I win the 2023 1v1 tournament, but also the 2023 2v2 tournament right after. I consider that a big achievement and could happily stop being competitive in this game.
Unfortunately this also confirms that if you place 1st in both tournaments consecutively, people will still call you dog in this game. Bias confirmed. If you're seen as bad, you will always be seen as bad, even if you win 5 tournaments in a row. Peace.
