1. Introduction //
The Ranking System is a seasonal competitive mode designed to measure player skill in a 4v4 format. It utilizes a Star Accumulation system for progression and Protection Points to balance gameplay, featuring prestigious end-of-season rewards and detailed personal statistics.
Condition Stamina System: Entering a match consumes 1 Stamina point to maintain daily gameplay balance.
Victory Win Rewards: Gain 1 Star | Defeat: Lose 1 Star (unless Star Shield is active).
Scoring Match Performance: Solo Kill +1 Point | Team Kill +2 Points
2. Party & Matchmaking Rules //
Party Formation Guidelines
Players must be on the same In-game Friends list to invite each other to a party.
Rank difference between party members cannot exceed ±2 Major Tiers (e.g., Gold, Platinum, Diamond) to prevent boosting.
Matchmaking CriteriaRank Distance: Search initially targets a tight ±1 Major Tier range before gradually expanding.
Win Streak Priority: Players with a win streak of ≥5 games are prioritized to match against each other.
Behavior Score: Matches are calibrated to pair players with similar win rates and behavior scores.
Queue Time Relaxation Protocols:
> 2 Minutes: Relax Win Streak criteria (expands acceptable streak variance).
> 5 Minutes: Relax Rank distance (expands acceptable tier variance).
> 7 Minutes: Relax Behavior Score criteria (allows matching across different groups).
*Note: Even with relaxation, the system will prioritize matching similar Win Rates as a primary factor.
3. Team Balancing //
Once players are gathered, the system automatically distributes teams to achieve maximum parity:
Average Win Streak: Team A ≈ Team B
Average Rank Tier: Team A ≈ Team B
Secondary Modifiers: Win Rate, Behavior Score, and Latency are considered for the most stable experience.
4. Protection Points (PP) //
A safety net system designed to prevent rank demotion. Players earn points upon defeat, which eventually trigger a Star Shield to negate star loss in a subsequent match.

Note: For the losing team, achieving a high individual rank (1-4) still rewards positive points to encourage persistent individual effort. Conversely, low-ranking performance in a loss results in penalties to deter AFK behavior.
