Cheating or weird bug?

Hi, I just played a game of battlegrounds where either my opponent cheated or there was a very weird bug taking place.

I ended up becoming 2nd after defeating the player who ended third without ever fighting the player who got first place. Immeadiatly after killing the third player I simply got the end of game screen telling me I placed 2nd.

Before that I had noticed when I moused over the player who ended up first that his match history was weird. He had only fought the same opponent, always suffering 4 damage. He was still at 36 HP. And hadn’t upgraded his tavern. The opponent he supposedly fought had a correct history that didn’t show him. However, before the end of game screen I simply thought this was some weird visual bug so I didn’t bother screenshotting it.

Does anyone have any idea what the hell happened here?

Yes, I’ve seen this before. It’s most likely a bug. One player is misrepresented for some reason and it messes up the ranking.
