Claim Ghost Player
Claim a previously recorded Ghost Player and connect its complete gaming history to your own Stratastax account.
Players should not lose years of gaming history simply because they created an account later. A match recorded before you joined Stratastax is still your match. Identity resolution exists to close that gap – retroactively and without affecting anyone else in the same match.
