Before we cover rank and levels information, lets keep in mind about the weekly competitions
and leagues since there are some users who are interested in knowing their places. Firstly,
we have 10 following league competitions:

1. Brass: Level 1 - 9

2. Bronze: Level 10 - 14

3. Silver: Level 15 - 19

4. Gold: Level 20 - 24

5. Platinum: Level 25 - 34

6. Amethyst: Level 35 - 44

7. Sapphire: Level 45 - 54

8. Emerald: Level 55 - 74

9. Ruby: Level 75 - 99

10. Diamond: Level +100

In addition, you can only be promoted at the end of the competition, even if you reach past
the specific level limit of the same tier. For instance, if you are in Brass League, and you
made to Level 20 before the end of the competition, you stay in that league.

2
Secondly, we have the country, friend and world competitions. Level-promoting does not
have any effect on such competitions. Unlike country and world competitions, in friend
competitions, adding friends to your list includes their total weekly earnings for the current
competition.

I would then like to include some info about rewards for those who are not familiar with the
current system. Since the recent XP update, you earn a pool cash on level up to 150. In
other words, a pool cash is rewarded for each new level you reach.

Using what we know about the level limits for each league, we finally combine that with
Ranks & Levels Information to obtain the following tables.

Fact 1. There are currently 150 levels in the game. Though in mobile version there exists
an XP upper bound for Level 150, no matter the number of matches you played, you stay in
the same level.

1.1 Simple XP Goal Approximation

Though Table 1.1 illustrates specific amounts of XP earned for either loss or win, the certain
numbers of played matches, wins and losses do not apply to all players. In Ranks & Levels
Information, Player X derived the approximate the amount of specific tier matches to exceed
certain amount of XP as followed:
 
XP needed
expected # of specific matches = ()
XP win (win %) + XP loss (1 (win %))

6
 Clearly, by Table 1.1, you earn more XP from winning and less XP from losing. If the win
percentage is very high, then the value of the bottom equation is greater than XP needed.
This decreases the expected number of matches to play. Otherwise, low win percentage
increases the number of matches to reach certain XP. Thus,

Fact 2. The higher your win percentage, the less played matches needed. The lower your
win percentage, the more played matches needed.

Example. Let us observe the following image carefully:

Figure 1.1: Player Xs profile

Player Xs win percentage is 72.4%, which is equivalent to 0.724. If he were to play 1-on-1
matches in Moscow Winter Club to reach 59,696 XP, and his current amount of XP is 23,596
XP, the difference is 36,100 XP to reach level 79. Therefore,
 
36100
expected # of specific matches =
360 0.724 + 72 (1 0.724)
= d128.69 e = 129

which leads to the following general method:

Step 1: Check your personal win percentage.

Step 2: Take the XP won and XP loss for the specific tier type from Table 1.1.

7
Step 3: Find the amount of XP you need to reach the goal.
Step 4: Calculate, using Equation ().
Remark. If we were to determine the number of specific matches for reaching higher level
that is not adjacent to ours, then we need to combine more than an amount of XP needed.
For instance, if Player X were to reach Level 100 from the current XP and level, he needs to
sum up all XP values from Level 79 (adjacent level) to Level 100 (using Table 1.2i) before
substituting all the values together for Equation ().

1.2 Advanced XP Goal Approximation

Note: The information in this subsection contains a lot of mathematics. Proceed at your
own risk.

Player X found the approximation of accumulating to certain XP. However, his equation
only applies to the specific match. We should ask ourselves: is it possible to formulate the
approximation for any type of match or more? We work this question out carefully from
scratch.

Lets observe Equation (). Notice that the variables XP won and XP loss came from Table
1.1. With all known variables, we determine the number of specific matches to be played.
The approximation works for any XP you need to reach and any type of matches you play.
For this case, we can sum up more than an equation to obtain the summation of similar
equations. Therefore, the general equation is
12  
X XP goal(i )
expected # of matches =
i=1
XP win(i ) win % + XP loss(i ) (1 win %)
4  
X XP goal(j )
+ ()
j=1
XP win( j ) win % + XP loss(j ) (1 win %)

For Equation ()
1. 1 , 2 , , 12 are 12 variables that represent known, distinct 1-on-1 tier matches. You
can see the list of available 1-on-1 tier matches in Table 1.1.
2. 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 are four variables that represent known, distinct tier tournaments. Consult
Table 1.1 for more information about available tournaments.
3. XP goal(i ) is the function that represents XP goal for the certain type of 1-on-1
match.
4. XP goal(j ) is the function that represents XP goal for the certain type of tournament.
5. XP win(i ), XP loss(i ), XP win(j ) and XP loss(j ) are functions that represent
certain amount of XP for wins and losses, respectively, for specific tier.

8
 The conditions are
1. XP goal(i ), XP goal(j ) 0 for any 1 i 12 and 1 j 4.
12
X 4
X
2. total XP needed = XP goal(i ) + XP goal(j ) 0.
i=1 j=1

3. total XP needed current XP, which is equivalent to total XP needed current XP 0.

These conditions imply that the number of matches to be played must be nonnegative inte-
ger since XP goals are nonnegative integers. Firstly, because the sum of nonnegative values
is nonnegative, the expected number of matches must be nonnegative. Secondly, the value
of ceiling equation must be an integer. Since the sum of integers is an integer, the sum of
ceiling equations is an integer. These verify that the calculation must be correct.

Similar steps follow for this complex computation, but there exists extra info to keep in
mind:
Step 1 Check your personal win percentage.
Step 2 Take the XP won and XP loss for your tier choices from Table 1.1.
Step 3 Find the amount of XP you need to reach the goal. If you have more than a tier
choice, you decide how many XPs you want to accumulate for a certain tier. Otherwise,
continue to the next step.
Step 4 Calculate, using Equation ().
Example. Lets revisit Figure 1.1. Suppose that Player X plays 1-on-1 Jakarta matches
and London tourneys. Assume that his initial win percentage is 72.4, and that he wants
to earn 20,000 XP from Jakarta and 16,100 XP (altogether 36,100 XP) from London. By
Table 1.1,
1. 1-on-1 Jakarta Volcano matches: XP win (+1,768 XP) and XP loss (+707 XP)
2. Downtown London Pub tournaments: XP win (+82 XP) and XP loss (+17 XP)
Therefore,
 
20000
expected # of matches =
1768 0.724 + 707 (1 0.724)
 
16100
+
82 0.724 + 17 (1 0.724)
= d13.55 e + d251.32 e
= 14 + 252 = 266
Remark. Though the approximations we discovered do not verify with the possible future
outcomes all the time, they are the most efficient formulas to calculate the number of matches
to be played. For accuracy, you may play a match by match and count the played matches
to exceed certain XP, but this seems very tedious for players to use.
