GAC Squish
Back in October CG_Meathead said "I worked with the Data Team to create a new formula that will take the GAC Leagues and segment them to around the original intent of the Kyber Squish introduction....
The players with weird roster/scores that don’t fit their league is due to how the squish has always treated players who stop playing for extended periods.
After a few weeks of non-participation players stop losing points as though they were getting losses. But they still have their SR impacted by the squish each month. Depending on what league they stopped playing in, this can result in them getting an increasing number of bonus SR every month until they start playing again.
Eventually people max out at 5000 SR, when they rejoin they’re in whatever league they left in. They mostly get matched with other people just rejoining. Since you can only be promoted one league at a time, they’ll move up the ranks one league at a time until they hit the top of Kyber, and eventually they fall low enough to get matched against real K1 accounts, at which point they’ll just stop winning till they get back to an appropriate ranking.
