Overview
The Competitive Division system features seven main divisions, each containing three subdivisions. Players progress through divisions based on match performance, individual skill, and win/loss records. The system includes placement matches, promotion series, and rating decay for higher divisions.
Division Structure
The seven Competitive Divisions in ascending order:
Divisions and Subdivisions
- Copper (I, II, III)
- Bronze (I, II, III)
- Silver (I, II, III)
- Gold (I, II, III)
- Platinum (I, II, III)
- Adept (I, II, III)
- Ascendant (I, II, III)
Each subdivision requires 500 points to advance (e.g., Gold III to Gold II).
Placement Matches
