Killer Instinct Gets Ranked League Play
You can now compete in a beta version of Ranked Leagues in Killer Instinct Season 2, Iron Galaxy Studios announced.
Entering Ranked League play for the first time requires you to complete ten qualifier matches. Based on your performance in these matches, you'll be placed in either the Gold, Silver, or Bronze Tier, the studio detailed on Xbox Wire.
You'll then face-off against other players in your Tier; however, you may occasionally fight opponents from other Tiers, which results in additional Tier Points. The outcome of each match will determine whether or not you progress up the ladder, but you'll never drop into a lower Tier. Naturally, winning enough matches will allow you to move up to the next Tier.
