    Hi all,

    We have been hard at work for nearly a year now to bring you a reworked player ranking system for our leagues.

    Please accept our apologies for taking so long, but we guarantee that the wait has been worth it!

    Here is how our new "Provisional Ranking" system will work:

    • This Provisional Ranking system will guide seeding during qualifier events, and access to different leagues.
    • League Points, just like in the past will determine invitations to main events. Gain these from tournament placements.
    • In Halo Wars 2 and Company of Heroes 3, Provisional Rankings will be broken down like so:
      • S Tier: Rank 1-8
      • A Tier: Rank 9-16
      • B Tier: Rank 17-28
      • C Tier: Rank 29-44
      • D Tier: Rank 45-64
      • E Tier: Rank 65-90
      • F Tier: Rank 91+
    • While in Age of Mythology, the ranges are:
      • S Tier: Rank 1-8
      • A Tier: Rank 9-24
      • B Tier: Rank 25-56
      • C Tier: Rank 57-120
      • D Tier: Rank 121-184
      • E Tier: Rank 185-248
      • F Tier: Rank 249+
    • League access will work as follows:
      • Pro League: Peak competition. Everyone can play, except in Halo Wars 2, where only S and A Tier players can sign up.
      • Rising Star League: For the pros of tomorrow. Most players can play, but S tier players are unable to sign up.
      • Amateur League: Halo Wars 2 only. Entry level competition. Only D, E and F tier may sign up.
    • We will rank an initial list of existing players based on historical performance.
    • By winning a series against a higher ranked player in a tournament or a showmatch, you will take their spot, and they get moved down by 1 spot along with everyone you overtook.
    • Tournaments will instantly update Provisional Rankings when a series result comes in, even before the tournament itself finishes.
    • Special Halo Wars 2 processes:
      • When players new to our website want to participate in Pro League qualifiers, we will either arrange a showmatch with these players, or manually rank them based on recent external results.
      • Likewise, we will prevent known/suspected strong players from playing in Amateur Leagues.
      • We believe these measures and the Amateur League will help nurture and grow the currently small competitive community.
    • We have updated tournament pages and profiles to display the Provisional Ranking data as well.

    Caveats:

    • The tournaments/showmatches in question will need to be on our website to count towards the system. We will never be able to count external event results.
    • Only 1v1 is supported for Provisional Rankings. For any potential team events, we may consider basing seeding around these.
    • We will need the community's help with arranging showmatches for contested positions when players are eager to fight for rank. It is impossible for us to fund or cover every event like this, but we can definitely create an entry for any showmatch that the community hosts.
    • We will continue to work towards allowing other event hosts to run their own tournaments/leagues on the Meta Plays website. For this, we need to make seasons separate between a game's League Ladders. We will aim to make this available in 2025.
    • Not every event will be making full use of the system as described. Sometimes it will just run in the background and play little to no part in events, particularly when we work with external partners. All this is determined on a case-by-case basis.

    In the coming days, we will be announcing our upcoming events and leagues.

    In the meantime, you are more than welcome to join our Discord and debate about player rankings!
