It's easy enough to beat Slynky, actually. Just follow these three easy steps:
- Convince Slynky to play in a 2vs2 game, with yourself on his side. You should choose the other players so that they are more or less on your playing field. This step may not be necessary, if Slynky approaches you first.
- Play the game as usual, and defeat the other team. This part is mandatory: you *must* kill the other two players, as otherwise the plan cannot work out. Bonus points if you can impress Slynky in the process.
- You should have played well enough to make Slynky himself recognise your worth; he should concede you the final win, thereby making you the grand victor of the game. This part might be hard to pull off if you didn't play *that* well, but you may still be successful: just be wordy, and it might all work out at the end of the day.

I became leader of the ratings that way myself, so it's a proven strategy. Of course, don't tell Slynky about that... he might get just a wee bit suspicious.
