Competitive Match Season 4


Attention Soldiers!

BLACK SQUAD COMPETITIVE MATCH – SEASON 4 will start with the next update.
We would like to introduce the schedule, the operation plan, the events and all of the rewards.

* Some parts of the SEASON 4 end rewards will be updated with an additional announcement.

SCHEDULE
  • Start: September 30th, 2019 after the update
  • End: January 6th, 2020 (14 weeks in total)
SEASON 4 OPERATION PLAN
  • The division of the Competitive Match Solo/Duo and Squad will be unified into one Competitive Match.



  • Competitive Match Unification – Teaming
    • Competitive Match teams contain 1 to 5 members.
    • [Note] Competitive Match Season 4 is the first season which unifies Solo/Duo and Squad matches, and players will have 800 MMR points to start rank placement.
    • [Note] The history of Competitive Match Season 4 will be recorded as one unified summary at your Profile details.
    • [Note] If the MMR POINT difference between the lowest team member and the highest team member is bigger than 1,000 points, the match cannot start.
    • [Note] If a user is in the match room and BANNED from competitive matches due to leave penalties, the match cannot start.
  • Competitive Match – Matchmaking
    • The unified competitive matches use the same opponent search conditions as before to match players of similar MMR points.
    • To search for Group Matches, matchmaking will prioritize finding groups of the same conditions.
      • e.g. A team of 4 Grouped players and 1 Solo player will have a higher chance to be matched to an opponent team consisting of 4 Grouped players and 1 Solo player.
    • After a certain amount of time, the search range will expand to find a group of broader conditions.
      • e.g. If the search for the team of 4 Grouped players and 1 Solo player is not successful during the designated time, search conditions are widened to find a team of 3~5 Grouped players.
    • Matchmaking is improved with more subtle condition checks, there is gradual search expansion for teams that have a similar number of grouped players who is also finding a match.
  • Season 4 initial MMR Point is 800, not affected by the Season 3 result.

  • Unified Competitive Match can be accessed at the lobby via one icon.



  • Competitive History for the previous 2 competitive match divisions at your Profile will now show the unified result, previous information of Seasons 1-3 will stay the same.



  • Relevant information at your Profile will also be arranged for unification according to the change.
