One player in a top-rated clan on their server adds that “the second strongest clan didn’t make it to top ten because they matched three times with us and lost all three times. Meanwhile two dead clans made it to top ten. It’s ridiculous.”
Another example notes a similar situation where two inactive clans with no players showing up to battles are matched against one another.
