Ranked Game Changes

Promotion

A major update will be released for Ranked games in the future. There will be no promotion series to move up to a new tier in the Ranked games of the next season. This change would be very well monitored. It will be an important testing factor for the developers. The reward for hitting the Gold tier in the next season is Glorious Lulu and her Pixi-corn.
