Sign of being demoted?

[vegaprom]

I'm now in Gifted League but now I'm facing many opponents in Clever League. Around now almost every new league games my opponent is in Clever. Is that a sign of being demoted? T_T

i think a sign that you are close to getting demoted is your opponent getting very low points for beating you. and yeah i think it starts when you start getting paired with lower leagues. (if youve been losing a lot then you start getting paired with lower leagues)

I think so, my loss rate may overcome my win rate. If I'm about to lose, my opponent will play a while after my last turn. But if I'm about to win, my opponent will take a day or more before he will make his next turn.

Should I stall the game that I'm going to lose? At first I think if I'm about to lose I had better lose and start a new game. (Not to waste my game slot)

It is always better for your hidden ranking in the long-term to lose first especially if league ranking does not matter to you.
