[2020] Happening Now: Season 9 Rank Recalibration

Hi, everyone! As the end of Competitive Season 9 approaches, we're performing a Rank recalibration in several Competitive and Extra Mode Playlists.

Starting now, some players at Diamond I or higher in Solo Duel, Solo Standard, and any of the four Extra Modes may see their Rank in those Playlists rise. The goal is to ensure that these Playlists have a similar Rank distribution compared to other Competitive Playlists, like 2v2 Team Doubles or 3v3 Standard.

If you look at the Rank Distribution from Season 8, you'll see that the Solo Duel and Solo Standard Competitive Playlists have fewer players ranked in Diamond, Champion, or Grand Champion than Team Doubles and Standard. Today’s calibration will bring those Rank percentages closer in line with the 2v2 and 3v3 Playlists for Season 9.

Thanks, all, and good luck during the final weeks of Competitive Season 9.

EDIT: You won't see this recalibration (if it applies to you) until you have played one match in one of the mentioned Playlists.
