Matchmaking/Seasonal Rankings

Seasonal Rankings represent the level of skill a player achieves in a single season, as determined by their matchmaking rating and other hidden factors. It is only available for ranked matches. Medals are reset at the end of each six-month season. The previous season's medal is displayed next to the new medal for the next season.

Calculation (Read this first!)

 * The exact calculation for earning medals is kept secret by Valve and may change over time.
 * This page reflects  rough estimates  based on community observations.
 * It is not unusual for your MMR to be a few hundred points from the MMR numbers listed below.
 * MMR is not the only factor in determining medal rank.
 * MMR will not always match their estimated medal.
 * Some players may have medals far above their MMR because:
 * Medals cannot decrease in rank even if they lose many games.
 * The player may have multiple Steam accounts.
 * The system remembers and judges player performance based on their peak skill level, not their current skill level. This is a common mechanism in competitive games used to combat smurfs and intentional derankers.
 * Medals are earned based on the highest skill level obtained during the season and will not decrease for the remainder of the season.
 * Both solo and party ranked MMR is considered when determining medal ranks. Solo MMR plays a larger role.
 * Please discuss any proposed changes on the talk page.
