"it is actually shocking that SBF was unable to rank higher than the Bronze or Silver league after years of regular play" ouch... author certainly does not play league of legends. ladder is broken, you are always at the mercy of riot's matchmaking. there was a reddit post appropriately criticizing it and received around 8k upvotes - mods deleted it. even if you completely MinMax everything to climb (which gets quite tedious and boring) - actually climbing takes ridiculous amounts of time. and it's time sensitive - folks that play around 5AM could easily give Faker a run for his money, folks that supposedly are bronzies (I call them robo smurfs). turn the same game on when the school ends and the amounts of stupidity are overwhelming. and the older account is - the worse it gets. at the time I was placed in bronze - won a local tournament full with diamonds, masters and even couple challengers. and the game itself is mistake driven - gold differs from diamond by a single mistake that diamond player never lets go.
