I want to share my experience so others can make informed decisions.
I spent a significant amount of time playing this tournament hours of gameplay, staying consistent, and even leading my board at one point. During that time, I started noticing patterns that did not feel like normal, independent competition.
Each time I increased my score, another player would increase theirs almost immediately. When I stopped, they stopped. When I resumed, they resumed. I didn’t just assume this, I observed it carefully, tested it, and documented it with screenshots and videos.
I also observed similar synchronized patterns among other players on the leaderboard, which raises further concerns about how the competition is being displayed or managed.
After seeing the same pattern repeatedly, I made the decision to stop. It no longer felt like a fair or transparent competition.
I had also raised concerns earlier in the tournament but did not receive a response. That made the experience even more frustrating.
At this point, I believe this situation deserves proper review. This is not just a personal concern, it affects the integrity of the tournament as a whole, especially since players are investing real time, effort, and money.
I am requesting that this be taken seriously and investigated. Players deserve clarity, transparency, and a fair competitive environment.
Until this is addressed, my advice to other players is simple: protect your time, energy, and resources. If something doesn’t feel right, take a step back. Don’t lose sleep or over-invest trying to reach the top.
I enjoy the game itself, but this experience has changed how I view the tournament. I hope this feedback leads to a proper review moving forward.
