I wonder if anyone here still plays tournaments (or online regularly at all for that matter) nowdays...
I really haven't played a tournament in years, so I don't have a rank at all. Back when I still used to play tournaments a lot (couple years ago), I had (believe it or not) rank 42. Though I did mostly only play Gray's when I created a game and when I joined someone's game I'd only play gray's or any other mod map I knew I was good at... ...So yeah, the having rank 42 wasn't really that amazing considering the kind of maps I played.
I actually played some guy that had rank 7 quite a few times... And he was a cheater. Not only did this guy only play mod maps, but he also only played mod maps where either GDI or Nod had the advantage and then he'd tell his opponent to pick the side that had the disadvantage... Often I knew the maps he was playing and would pick the side with the advantage (just like him). When anyone would do that, he usually wouldn't start the game until you picked the side with the disadvantage, or he'd kick you. Never the less I did get to play him quite often and even managed to beat him quite a few times... ...Like you guessed he'd just disconnect when someone beats him and that's the end of that.
Very typically the players with the highest ranks are often cheaters. I know I didn't play the the greatest map (Grays 3vs3 Speed Mods by ShoggyCow) when I had rank 42, at least I played a fair map (yes, even though a lot of people might find the map and it's mod a bit or very lame, it's still a fair map with a fair mod once you know it).
I actually think Grays is still the best of those lame online maps (maybe I was good at it because of that or maybe that is because I was good at it...), even though I enjoy normal maps a lot more than those now.
