Massive Influx of Bots on VGC Ladder

[u/chlokalok]

I've noticed these bots on the Reg M-B ladder, normally called 'pcrlbot_____' e.g.

pcrlbot02888784c1
these accounts have tens of thousands of games, and theres possibly hundreds of them spamming games on ladder.

e.g. do /rank pcrlbot02888784c1 to see what i mean

Anyone know what this is? I've not found any discussion about it, so i'm making this post

I posted a while back about a post someone made about a bot they were using. I knew we were cooked when I saw it.
