I don't think that, but when he started this thread he was at ~1200-1250 elo. And I don't mean "oh, did bad in my placement matches so I'm 1250", I mean actual 1250. There's a pretty big difference between low silver and easily cruising through gold imo, that's all :)
Edit: He has already said he worked on his mechanics to become a better player, so that would explain it.

What placement matches ? They only accurred if you hadn't played 10 pre-season 3 ranked
I started this thread at 1150 ELO Season 2.
Pre season 3 ranked games and games little bit after it determined the position for Season 3.
Riot said they will look at the current ELO and highest ELO.
My stats were around 1550 and 1499, so I got placed in Silver I.
After Silver I I played around 20ish games and now I'm at placement matches for Gold III.
I don't really mind or pay attention what people think.
I have played my ranked adventures fair and square and I think I deserve to be here after such long journey. Just keeping up with the score here for ppl who are interested / open for discussion.
I've found Gold games really easy after practicing and I think I could get as far as platinum.

"A person giving you advice isn't perfect and has their own shortcomings but they may give you the piece that you're missing."
*facepalm* All I said was you were 1200-1250 before (though apparently it was 1150, my bad), the placement matches comment shouldn't be taken literally lol.
Also, I specifically said:
I believe that explanation, it is perfectly plausible.
All I did before was ask how you became a better player so fast, because in one post you were ~1300 and in the next you said "I'm gold, yay!", which made me -logically- lolwut at how that happened. I am not doubting you deserve to be where you are.
Good luck on reaching plat.

Gold III achieved :3
No screenshot, but just average
Draven game.
Nothing much, quite basic game. Not much to say tbh.

I also asked Joxuu how he turned from a ~1250 elo player into a gold player so fast, but no response so far :3
He's played over 100 games. I went from Silver to Gold this season in 40 games (really pathetic to think about, so many games...). I don't see why it's curious? Unless you think he's been elo boosted... and asks them to screen shot the games, and he spectates them so that he can report back here. Sounds a little farfetched :)
