How are Matchmaking Captains selected?

Match Captain Selection Logic

The match captain role is assigned automatically based on a specific criteria priority list. The matchmaking system checks player data in the following order:

1. Subscription Status

The system prioritizes accounts with an active subscription. Premium subscribers receive the highest priority weight, while players without a subscription receive standard priority.

2. Elo Rating

If multiple players on a team share the same subscription tier, the system selects the player with the highest Elo balance.

FAQ

Is the captain assignment affected by playing in a party?

Yes. The captain role is assigned to the largest party holding the highest subscription tier on the team. For example, a party of 3 Premium players takes priority over a solo Premium player or a smaller party.

If I am in a party with multiple Premium members, who becomes captain?

The party leader is automatically assigned the captain role if your party satisfies the priority criteria for that match.
