Really no winning with people it seems lol. Some of the comments/quote retweets undermine his achievement on the basis that he has a high maokai winrate implying near-1 tricking.
And?
Bunch of clowns, doesn't matter if the champ is strong or he did that to get a good winrate, he at least identified it and still piloted it at the level necessary to do so, while everyone commenting are the type of ppl who refuse to play Annie "cause she's too easy" and stay stuck in low mmrs forever thinking they have mechanics (you dont)
Phreak may have been diamond for X years or w.e, but he was high MMR way back in day and also a former high level wc3 player, it's not unreasonable to assume if he leans into playing/playing something he identified as strong that he ought to be able to likely climb again.
So many donkeys in the comments, his rank is entirely valid, even more so especially when you consider most ppl can't actually play a lot of champs and especially not at a high level lol
Maokai nerfs are cancelled.
