I'm pretty sure there's some kind of bug in the ladder matchmaking system right now. It's happened 4 times to me this weekend on 3 separate days, though I only got the replay for the most recent game. Basically, I'm getting paired against people who are nearly 1000 elo below me on the ladder, which shouldn't be happening ever regardless of how much harder it is to find people searching for games at 1900+ elo.

Edit: As an update to the above, the conversation at the start of the replay below may be relevant. Evidently at the beginning of the match I was being displayed as 1000 elo or something, so it might only be a problem displaying the elo to the players rather than an actual problem with the matchmaking system. Or maybe it's both, idk.
