  • Teams that place first in a match will now receive 125 SR, up from 100.
  • Iridescent deployment fees have been reduced by 5 SR.
    • This does not apply to the initial cost bracket when promoted to Iridescent.

We’ve implemented balance adjustments to our SR point system to now place greater emphasis on the match victory. We hope that these adjustments incentivize strategic play and teamwork, over strictly trying to stack eliminations. Our aim is to foster a fair environment for everyone participating in Ranked Play, aligning with our commitment to uphold competitive integrity.
