Hello, friends- The ranking system was updated with a few new features.

 

1. Updated Tiers for Online Events

  • Two more tiers have been added: Tiers 9 and 10
  • The base point system has also been adjusted to proportionately accommodate the new tiers

This is the new base points table for online events:

Event & Tier League Invitation Qualification Groups Playoffs - UB Playoffs - LB Final
Online - Tier 1 160 64 192 128 256 192 512
Online - Tier 2 80 32 96 64 128 96 256
Online - Tier 3 60 24 72 48 96 72 192
Online - Tier 4 40 16 48 32 64 48 128
Online - Tier 5 30 12 36 24 48 36 96
Online - Tier 6 20 8 24 16 32 24 64
Online - Tier 7 15 6 18 12 24 18 48
Online - Tier 8 10 4 12 8 16 12 32
Online - Tier 9 5 2 6 4 8 6 16
Online - Tier 10 2.5 1 3 2 4 3 8

2. Added Multi-Map Multiplier

The original points system didn't distinguish between single-map matches (BO1) and multi-map matches (BO3 / BO5). There is now a 2x multiplier for multi-map matches.

 

3. Updated Points Degradation

The original points system used linear points degradation over 360 days. The system now emphasises recent results by having points degrade in three stages:

  • Stage 1: First 60 days since the event
  • Stage 2: From 61 till 180 days since the event
  • Stage 3: From 181 till 360 days since the event

During Stage 1, a team loses max. 6% (1/17th) of the points it gained from an event. During Stage 2, a team loses max. an additional 23% (4/17th) of the points from an event. Finally, during Stage 3, a team loses the remaining 71% (12/17th) of the points from an event.

A simpler way to look at it is on a per-day basis. Each day during Stage 2, the points from an event lose value 2x as fast as during Stage 1. Each day during Stage 3, the points from an event lose value 2x as fast as during Stage 2 (or 4x as fast compared to Stage 1).

These features (including examples) are also updated in the article explaining the ranking system.
