It was a tough call for me to decide to reset the win streak with the ratings reset, especially since I hadn't made that clear in the original rules posting. And it's true that you didn't have any advantage over your opponents since you'll always be matched with similarly ranked opponents randomly.
I feel that part of the reason long win streaks are so impressive is b/c you're theoretically facing continually tougher opponents. As your rating goes up, so does the avg rating of your opponent (if matchmaking works as intended). That was the main reason I made that decision. Thanks for understanding, I hope you'll continue to attempt future win streaks!
