If this glitch occurs before the final two players (say final 3) you will not VS the number 1. Just had a game where myself and alexstraza were vying for second, we versed eachother 5 games in a row while illidan (first) vsed the dead player in 7th. After beating alex auto 2nd place.
Same thing happened. Showed they got beat too but only myself at 2nd and 3rd place were matched until I beat 3rd place
This just occurred for me as well.
Very frustrating because I needed 1st place for the achievement for Kael’Thas.
I got the same issue beat all player but the 1st place belong to the one left in turn 2 or 3.
What!!!
Oh so it’s a 2 weeks old problem. Just had it too. 3 players remain, i fight and kill one of them and poof second place.
I noticed strange things earlier in the game too.
I got matched against a player who seemed some sort of “half dead”. He had some shimmering broken window on has avatar. I thought maybe it represents disconnection.He had only 1 unit, a dragonspawn lieutenant and i dealt 11 damage to him with my complete board. So it was turn 4 probably. i did have a token and a decent start, so i assume i bought 4 two* on turn 3 and 4, totally to 11 with the token. Recollection is not 100% though, so it could have been turn 5.
After the battle i watched the combat info and instead of displaying his battle against me, it showed him having fought sir finley and taking not 11 but 6 damage. My own history showed me dealing 11 damage to a ghost.
According to the history i saw, in his battle before the battle against me, he was also matched against mr finley. It displayed him having fought mr finley twice in a row, first taking 0 damage and then taking 6 damage. He was on 34 health at that point, so supposedly he had not taken any damage yet before my 11 damage registered as 6. Mr finley’s history indeed showed having fought him for 0 damage.
I didn’t pay much attention to it anymore, but a few turns later i notice there is no ghost which surprises me obviously. (at least not at the bottom where i expect to see ghosts)
At the end of the game there are 3 players remaining. During the fight against the one of them, i look at the nr one position shortly. I see a near full healthbar and 1 dragon. (probably that one dragonspawn lieutenant i saw earlier)
When my fight is over, the game finishes and i have second position. I think it may have displayed “you win”, but i am not sure my brain might have created that picture out of expectation. I think the winning ghost player was tickatus, but i am not sure as i only looked it it to see whom i had just fought after turn 4 and not again later.
Happened 15-30 minutes before this post, playing alextraza on my account Alchemist#2400

After seeing the event myself multiple times, I’m increasingly positive it’s an Exploit of some form.
Unfortunately, given that Act-Blizz’ doesn’t give a flying-porker about stability and fixes (unless they are BLATANTLY displayed publicly) they don’t rush to fix things.
Would be nice if they did something repay the folks sucking losses because of this.
But, then again, this is “Blizzard” we’re talking about… Money making first and foremost, all other concerns? last.
I just ran into this issue in my last game. Something I noticed in the middle that I did not see written in the previous posts was the ghost (it was Edwin for me) showed only having battled me when I hovered over their icon. It showed they had lost multiple times to me, but still showed full health.
I did not think much of it at the time since I was focusing on trying to win the game, but it ended the exact same way with “2nd place” after having beaten the third place player. If I see it again I will try to record it.
NO WAY.
This is very serious problem, LITERALLY NO SENSE. I’ve experienced exact same problem few minutes ago in KR server and actually pissed off- Just hope that they come out with understandable compensation plan. They have to fix the whole loss.

There’s actually a huge amount of evidence(*) that suggests it’s a client side bug.
Your client missed a notification that one player died, so your client keeps showing that player as alive. And then at the end of the game, when just a single player survives, your client gets that notification and you see a game ending that displays two living players.
(*) Most relevant evidence for this is that I’ve seen several report of people who appeared to finish in 2nd, but got the amount of MMR that they would have gotten for a 1st place finish.
It is of course definitely still a very annoying bug, and I hope it will be fixed. But I don’t think it’s a cheat or exploit.
Bump
I’ve had this happen to me twice this month (February 2021).
Both times I noticed that the winning player/ghost wasn’t losing health, while their “match history” showed them fighting the same opponent every round with the same outcome (in both instances losing and supposedly being hit for a large portion of their HP, but as I already stated they weren’t losing HP at all).
In the end, after kicking out the other remaining player in “Top 3”, the game immediately ends with a 2nd place finish, and an MMR gain that reflective of a 2nd place finish!
Just happened to me and I’m VERY upset. Patches was my last remaining Battlegrounds Achievement and I placed 2nd instead of first. I have screenshots to prove it. It’s very difficult to get 1st with Patches so I’d really like my achievement 
Happened to me as well, I want to add I was playing Lord Barov and I just got the choice between the bugged ghost and regular ghost during bets, which always ended with regular ghost winning, so I just had +3 gold per turn.
Just happened to me when I on course to get my 1st place Greybough achievement and 1st on 50 heroes achievement. I was pretty excited and I felt scammed by the game.
Nah bud this was reported in december last year. Dozens of posts about this bug. The blizzard engine is still running but there is no one at the wheel it seems.
This just happened to me! Finished first place as Tess and lost to ‘ghost’ King…
Just had the same issue happen to me without beating the last guy. Our last round was me beating him, but he had the ice block secret. However, as soon as it should have triggered, the game ended and declared me 2nd place. I can only assume he left figuring he couldn’t win the next round and the game then defaulted 1st to the remaining ghost.
Still an ongoing bug. Just had it cost me a win and an achievement since it was a hero I had not got to 1st with before.
Myself and ‘third’ had a great back and forth battle, alternating who took damage, only being able to nudge each other down a bit each time, until finally I managed to juust finish them off to… complete disappointment in that it just ended me in second.
This is an insanely bad bug to keep ignoring. It needs to be fixed.
Playing on mobile I’ve encountered this at least 5 times now since the beginning of the year.
