Features and Improvements

New Ladder

For a more in-depth ladder overview please visit: New Ranking System

• Season 1 is now live!
  • Players will begin the new Season unranked. After 5 placement matches, they’ll be placed into a league.
  • Frontier League data will help determine pre-placement MMR.
• Note: The placement algorithm will be in continual iteration as we obtain more and more data.
• We’ve implemented a new rank-based League System familiar to long time veterans of Brood War.
  • S – Top 1% of players
  • A – 7%
  • B – 21%
  • C – 21%
  • D – 21%
  • E – 21%
  • F – 8%
• Note: The percentage-based system will take effect in two weeks. In the interim, distribution will be based off Frontier League data.
• MMR decay has been added to S Rank.
• New Rewards for Season 1
  • Anyone who logs in during Season 1 will receive an exclusive portrait.
  • After being placed into a league, players will unlock a corresponding colored portrait border.
    • Players can toggle the border on and off in the Collections tab.
  • Players who reach the S, A, or B leagues will earn unique portraits.
    • S league players will receive an animated portrait.
