▣ What Is Ranked Match?
Ranked Match is a ranking system that automatically matches you with players of similar skill based on Rank Points (RP), which are calculated according to your match results and contribution.
To ensure fair competition among players who have learned the basics of gameplay, only players at account level 9 (Sergeant First Class I) or higher can participate.
① Join Ranked Match
- Once you reach account level 9 (Sergeant First Class I), you can join Ranked Match.
② Placement Matches
- Placement matches are held to measure your skill. / - After playing a total of 5 matches, your starting rank is determined by your win/loss results.
③ Initial Tier Assignment
- Your initial Ranked Match tier is assigned based on your placement match results. / - After that, your tier rises or falls according to your match results.
④ Promotion Match
- This is the gateway to move up from your current tier to the next. / - You can only advance to the next tier by winning your Promotion Match. / ※ There are no Promotion Matches from BRONZE I through SILVER III. / ※ Once you win a Promotion Match, you do not have to play it again when you later re-enter the same tier.
▣ Ranked Match Tiers
Ranked Match tiers are divided into a total of 17 tiers, including ‘UNRANKED’.
There are no Promotion Matches from BRONZE I through SILVER III; from GOLD I onward, you can only enter a tier by winning its Promotion Match.

▣ How to Earn Rank Points (RP)
Rank Points (RP) are the skill score used in Ranked Match.
Match Result
- Whether you win or lose a match is the biggest factor affecting your ‘RP’ changes. (Win: +RP / Loss: -RP) / - The amount of change may vary depending on the ‘RP’ gap between your team and the opposing team.
Play Contribution
- You can earn bonus RP based on how much you contribute to a match, such as kills, assists, and saves.
※ If you leave during a Ranked Match, you can rejoin.
※ If the match ends before you rejoin, or if you give up on rejoining, you will be subject to a matchmaking restriction and an RP deduction penalty.
▣ Ranked Match Party Play Support
Party play, in which you can play together with other players, is supported.
Regardless of Ranked Match tier, up to 5 players can form a party as one team. However, if the tier difference is 5 or more, Ranked Match matchmaking is not possible. (The Game Start button is disabled.)
If even one party member is under a matchmaking restriction, the time remaining until the restriction is lifted is shown to all party members, and Ranked Match matchmaking is not possible. (The Game Start button is disabled.)
If even one party member has been isolated from the regular matchmaking pool because abnormal gameplay was detected, all party members are placed in a separate matchmaking pool isolated from the regular pool.
If you leave during a Ranked Match, you leave the party immediately as well; when you rejoin, if party members remain, you are regrouped into that party.
