This section outlines some of the finer details of Competitive Mode.
ELO Points are a numerical measure of each player’s skill in ranked play, and place players into ranked Tiers with others of relative skill. ELO Points are gained or lost depending on a player’s performance in each match.
Before you can participate in Competitive Mode ranking each Season, you must complete 10 Placement Matches to establish your starting ELO Point total.
Ranking Tiers have additional Divisions to further group by relative skill levels. The Gold Rank and below have 5 Divisions each (I - V), and the Platinum Rank has 3 Divisions.
BlackShot’s most exclusive Ranking Tier is The Black and is only open to the Top 10 Competitive players. The very best Seasonal Rewards are available for members of The Black.
Competitive Mode is easily accessible through the standard server browser page. Simply select the Competitive Mode Server to join, and then proceed to the matchmaking menu.
Each Competitive Mode squad must have 5 members, for a total of 10 players per match. This restriction applies to all game modes in Competitive Mode.
50 ELO points will be lost when leaving a Competitive Mode match early. However, if the match is rejoined before it ends, the penalty will not be applied.
- Team play is essential. Victory in Competitive Mode can only be achieved together.
