Hi Ronaldo! Several players brought this post to our attention along with evidence of repeated stream sniping.
After conducting an investigation into the matter, we have concluded that you repeatedly violated our policy against stream sniping in your Rank 1 climb. Our policy can be found here: (https://t.co/E6uLR56p9F).
As a result, we are doing the following:
- Your account is banned for two weeks.
- You will not receive Ranked rewards for the season that just ended.
- We are reverting your LP from the season that just ended to Master 0.
While many of your results are legitimate, your abuse of stream sniping for advantage taints your climb, and we will not allow it to stand.
We encourage you to play honorably in the future.

“Antonella doesn’t allow me to play with the ball with my boys inside the house. Life’s paradoxes, right? [laughs] I make a living from football, yet you can’t play with the ball indoors.”😂
In America I ordered a milkshake and the young man turned it upside down over my head.
I did not move. A samurai does not flinch, even when the ice cream is above him and gravity is the law.
Nothing fell.
The cup hung there, upside down, defying the sky, and the boy held it over me with the calm of a man who has done this ten thousand times and buried his fear long ago.
This is the Blizzard. This is Dairy Queen.
If it falls, they told me, you get it free.
I understood at once. This was not dessert. This was an ordeal.
The boy was not showing off. He was swearing an oath, with his own arm, that he had made the thing thick enough to hang against the earth, and he was betting the price of it on his honor.
The flip is not a trick.
It is a vow.
In my land a smith proved his blade by cutting.
Here a boy of seventeen proves his by turning it over a stranger's head and looking him in the eye while the whole line waits to see if he lied.
He did not lie.
He set it upright, handed it to me, and said "there you go, man," then turned to the next customer as if he had not just gambled his good name across a counter.
I tipped him everything in my pocket.
He tried to give it back. He said it was just a Blizzard.
I told him it was not just a Blizzard.
I could not explain the rest in English, and there was a line, and he was busy.
So I bowed instead.
He said, "You too, man."
That answered nothing I had said.
It answered everything I had felt.
