The ranking of players in the MKOTH League is based on their Elo. Players challenge each other in a best of 3 series to better their Elo.
There are 4 classes in the MKOTH rankings, which are determined by their Elo.
The king is a special title awarded to the top ranking player on the condition that there are at least 2 other noblemen present on the rankings.
Series Result | Net Change in Points |
---|---|
Win (above) | 3 |
Win (below) | 1 |
Lose (300+) | -5 |
Lose (otherwise) | 0 |
As seen from the table above, Points can be gained or lost. No negative points shall be allowed. A player gains points when he wins a series. If he wins against a player of lower Elo than him, he gains only 1 point. If he wins against a player of same or higher Elo than him, he gains 3 points. A player loses 5 points when he loses against a player of more than 1300 Elo and of 300 or more Elo than him. Hence, having 5 points is a prerequisite before a player is able to challenge someone of a much higher Elo.
A player moves into HM when he does not complete a series within 30 days
S/N | Series Rules |
---|---|
1 | All games are played in assault mode with classic rules. |
2 | The starting map is Temple. Either player can invite for the starting map. If there is a dispute over who should invite first, the lower ranked player must invite for the first map, followed by the person selecting the map. The maps Battle Park, Bloons Circles and Pumpkin Patch are banned due to the high chance of draws. |
3 | The game ends when a player reaches 0 lives, or at the start of round 38. The player with most lives at the end wins. The player who lost in the game will decide the map for the next game. |
4 | It is considered a draw if both players have same amount of lives by the start of round 38 OR if both players reaches 0 lives before round 38 OR a the same defeat/victory screen is presented on both players screens. If there is a draw, the person who didn't pick the map will invite and select the next map. Games that are drawn do not count as a complete game in a series. For example, in a best of 3 series, if there is 1 win and 2 draws, the series is considered incomplete and both players have to continue playing until a player gets 2 wins. Maps cannot be repeated unless all maps have been played during the series. |
5 | Engineer is banned by default. However each player may choose to ban 1 tower for the entire series if both players agree, via the MKOTH bot. All bans will be universal. The 4th tower and powers may only be used if BOTH players agree, otherwise, it is prohibited by default.(refer to rule 7) |
6 | If one player disconnects during a game, the other player decides whether to rematch, take the win or take a draw. This will be approved on a case-by-case basis./td> |
7 | Players have the right to add or amend any rules mentioned above for their series, as long as both players agree. It is encouraged that both players explicitly state the terms in which they play in before the series starts. |
8 | Players can only do one series with the same person every 12 hours. |
9 | Players are not allowed to dodge series after it begins. If a player avoids playing the opponent more than 2 times when he is able to, the opponent may claim a forfeit win with manager’s approval. Managers will make a final decision on whether the player is dodging based on chat evidence. |
10 | Cheating of any kind, such as modding, abusing glitches, hacking, using of macros or spying(battles tv) etc. is strictly prohibited. |
