Okay, so you've seen those videos right - 'Road to Diamond' (personally love that series from Devin)

Today, I was matched with a player who said he's doing 'Road to Iron'

Let me explain.

In Agent selection he told us that he had a good strategy and told us not to pick any duelists.

Me and my friends are good at almost every agent so we chose our team of sentinels, controllers and initiators. (we should have seen this as the first red flag)

When the game started, he said that he is a 'deranker' At first I didn't understand what it meant, I just assumed he might have been a Gold player who deranked to Silver. But then he started giving out our locations to the enemy team. He picked the spike up first so that nobody could have it and we wouldn't plant. He was playing Brimstone so he shot a molly at me and then repeated this killing others and some times himself.

Everyone got mad at him and asked him what he was doing to which he replied 'The Road to Iron'

I couldn't believe how this was actually happening. I mean WHO DOES THIS?

He threw each and every round. But, here's the interesting part:

The rest of our team actually tried. With all our locations being revealed constantly and not getting any spike plants, we played for picks and we actually ended the first half with 5-7. Once he saw that we were actually winning, he "tried" and said that "im trying now why are you mad" and then said "sorry" which was obviously not accepted by the team.

We reported him obviously for sabotaging the team.

The best part of this was that we were so bent on winning this that we actually ended the game 11-13.

One, I'm proud of my team and the sheer will to ignore negative energy and play honestly.

Two, I still don't understand why someone would do something like 'The Road to Iron'

I repeatedly asked him what his Youtube/Twitch was but obviously he did not tell me.
