Ranked Matches

Ranked Matches uses an automatic system to match players with others of similar skills to compete against one another. Ranks are earned by Rank Points (RP) while the status is broken down into UNRANKED, D, C, B, A, and S. Matches employ Single (1v1) and Team (3v3) rules with RP earned through victories in Single matches or through both victories and individual contribution in Team matches. Once a player has reached S-Rank, they receive a rating based on their ability.
