UPDATED RANKING SYSTEMS

 
 
 

The way that a trainer will proceed through the ranks has been altered slightly. Rank 1-20 will be based on the number of wins you have at each rank, excluding ranks 4, 9, 14 & 19. At ranks 4, 9, 14 & 19 you only have to complete the battles, no wins are required to advance to the next rank. However, these ranks will have special reward tracks which offer better rewards the more wins you get at that respective rank.

 
 
 

Rank 21+ will be reflected on the GBL Leaderboard & will be based on MMR with special medals. Ace Trainer will require at least 2,000 MMR, Veteran 2,500, Expert 2,750 & Legend 3,000+.
