Just beat gumgum (Gwentlemen member, high tier player) in ranked. He got super unlucky draws with NG. Had to put resilience on a useless 3 drop. Drew one of those bronze activators when he had no spies etc. Got +75mmr from him. Almost rank 12 now yay!
Just hit rank 12 myself.
Spent way too much time trying to make NR work early on in ranked which delayed the climb considerably.
