Inside Jokes
"Just got quick-queue sniped again... Time to uninstall!"

„Peer review pass“

Unwritten Rules
Don't reveal your upcoming match schedule publicly before it begins.

Always submit honest match results and peer reviews.
Integrity in reporting results preserves the community's competitive balance and trust in the peer review system.
Respect the tier and reputation of opponents during matchmaking.
Underestimating higher-ranked players or dismissing newcomers damages community cohesion and can lead to social penalties.
Coordinate with your team for event cycles rather than playing solo.
Team collaboration is essential for seasonal ladder success and earns more CM points, underscoring the platform's competitive culture.
