1) Join Forces With Other Players
Queuing up as a solo party is a sure-fire way to lose a lot of ladder points along with the possibility of scoring any Gems.
Joining forces with three other players around your skill level greatly assists your performance during a match. Playing off the strengths and weaknesses of the players in your party enables you to be a cohesive unit when attempting to overcome the opposition.
With a more cohesive team, the chances of achieving victory are much higher than playing in a team all attempting to play with their own style.
2) The Grind Never Stops
Players are always grinding for those all-important ladder points, meaning the rankings are always changing and no place on the 50-player ladder is sacred.
With Gems awarded at the end of an Event, the battle for position never stops. Playing matches on a regular basis is essential to maintain a high ranking, and earn as many Gems as possible.
