I understand your decision regarding SkipTheDrip, I also do not think that they did anything wrong in this situation. However, I think it is clear that the opponent threw in this last game and that gave SkipTheDrip just enough elo to pass me on the leaderboard in the last seconds of the tournament.

If sadiguess did not sacrifice most of their team at the end of the battle in this specific game of the last minute of the ladder being up, the timer would have been over and even though SkipTheDrip could have won that game, they wouldn't have gained the elo in time.

The fact that they stated in battle that they want to forfeit and I had to remind them that it is considered throwing makes this even more clear.

If that's not considered throwing idk what is.
