Leagues and league score
League score
Each player starts the game with a league score of 1000 points. After each ranked match in career a certain amount of league score points is exchanged between the opponents. The amount of exchanged league score points depends on the result, the league score difference between the opponents and the K factor used in the league of the deploying player.
The elo rating system[1] is used for the calculation of exchanged league score points:
Examples
If a player in Gold league (K factor 40) with a league score of 1000 points wins against an opponent with 1200 points he gets 30 points:
Let's say you have 1000 league points (in Gold league):
you fight against a player with a lower league score (800 league points):
if you win, you take 10 league points from him
if you draw, you give him 10 league points
if you lose, you give him 30 league points
you fight against a player with the same league score (1000 league points):
if you win, you take 20 league points from him
if you draw, no league point is exchanged
if you lose, you give him 20 league points
you fight against a player with a higher league score (1200 league points):
if you win, you take 34 league points from him
if you draw, you take 14 league points from him
if you lose, you give him 6 league points
League promotion and demotion
Your league is determined by your current league score. You start in the Silver League. When your league score is lower (not equal) than your current league demotion score, you get demoted to the lower league. When your league score is equal or higher than your current league promotion score, you get promoted to the higher league.
K factor (the higher value, the faster league scores evolve, see Elo rating system)
| League | Demotion score | Promotion score | K factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | none | 1000 | 50 |
| Silver | 950 | 1100 | 45 |
| Gold | 1050 | 1250 | 40 |
| Platinum | 1200 | 1400 | 35 |
| Diamond | 1350 | 1600 | 30 |
| Master | 1550 | 1800 | 25 |
| Grand Master | 1750 | none | 20 |
Example 1: You are in Gold league with a 1051 league score and get defeated in a match, loosing 5 league points. Your new league score is now 1046, you reached the Gold league demotion score, so you are demoted to the Silver league.
Example 2: You are in Gold league with a 1245 league score and win a match, earning 10 league points. Your new league score is now 1255, you reached the Gold league promotion score, so you are promoted to the Platinum league.
