How to cheese tournament TT

[desufin]

Me and a friend signed up for the tournament as soon as it opened up, played a few matches against random other players. Took about 3minutes before we saw one guy win-trading with another. Was really obvious and he only played that one guy for all 15 games. He's still at the top of the leaderboard on our server after 10hours. If anything TT tournaments shouldn't let you play against the same person more than once or twice. It wouldn't completely fix the problem but it would help.

If it's any comfort, he will be beaten by someone who out-cheats him.

Yeah, probably not that comforting.

Well even if someone beats him by cheating or not cheating wont matter. Both me and my friend had too many draws to even have a chance to be in the top20. All Open is a really dumb rule to have in a tournament because it will at best just lead to draws if both players are any decent and knows basic math (for this one since it also has Plus).
There's so much that could've been done better but I think the issue with win-trading is the biggest one right now, it's too easy and it probably wont go away ever.

For the record the winner also gets 140k MGP, second to 10th place gets a MGP reward matching their rank along with a Gold Triad card. 11th to 20th place gets 10k MGP. So there's more in it than just the Lightning Card.
