So I've been hovering in silver league between ranks 1 and 2 and I'm curious if anyone knows how one moves up to the next league. Any idea?

I personally just RANDOMLY moved up at one point.

In fact, it was so random, that I was ranked like 20th in my league, and I moved up after actually LOSING a game.

the leagues dont seem to make any sense T_T i got up to the top of the ranks in Gold Division 2, hit rank 1 and won a few games there before losing a few and going down to rank 2. I've been in the top 8 for two days without moving up. I guess having close to 20 losses from disconnects might be the reason but some people seem to just move up randomly ><

I'd guess that you would need a strong enough margin from the Silver rank 2 player, and/or a close enough margin from the Gold lowest rank player.

Or perhaps you need a certain winning streak.

What's your lead over rank 2, and what were your last 10 games' outcomes?

Edit: It may involve matching you with a low-rank Gold player in danger of losing their Gold status, for conservation... otherwise rank would be in constant fluctuation based on what's happening at the top.

in all of my leagues after i beat ppl that are in a higher league (favored), and thenn lose to ppl that are higher then that i move up. I think you just have to show that you can beat higher league ppl consitantly to be able to league up. at least that is how it has been for me in 1v1 and all the team leagues i have.

You have to win against people from higher leagues, when i was in bronze i actually played against low gold before getting promoted.
