Because you quit games and it catches up with you.

Stop being bad and quitting. Win more and then you can rank up past a commander.

Add me if you're a serious MLG player.

3rd place can sometimes be counted as a loss, depending on who you're playing. If the system expects you to place in the top two based off the opponent's trueskills and sigma values, then you might rank down from a 3rd place finish.

It was more likely because of the 6th place quit before that game. The thing you are talking about is rare.

No it isn't. If you are expected to place in the top two, and you don't, it is a loss. I've played around 1000 lone wolves games. I do know what I'm talking about.

Just checked his game history. I didn't see that quit out. When you quit a game and start up another one, the results of the first game don't register until you've finished the second one.

haha i think the reason i quit was because I was getting a LOT of my kills stolen, so I quit before I ended up not being able to concentrate any more...
