Phoenix Team Ladder
Register a Phoenix Team
A Phoenix Team is three players, one shared Team Elo, and one place on the Team Ladder. You register the team, you become its Team Leader, and you invite the other two players.
How it works
- Pick a team name. We check it's available before anything is charged.
- Complete registration. $11.99/year, or included if you’re a Founding Patron.
- You become Team Leader. Registration has to be paid before a team exists and before anyone becomes its leader.
- Invite two players. They each get an invitation and choose to accept or decline — nobody is added to a roster without agreeing to it.
- Three players makes you eligible. A complete roster can enter Team Ladder matchmaking.
What a registered team gets
A 3-player roster
You plus two players. The Team Leader manages the roster, sends and cancels invitations, and sets the player order before a team match.
Team Elo
Every team starts at 1000 and carries its own rating. Team Elo is separate from your individual 1v1 Elo — games played inside a team match never move your personal rating.
Team rank & record
A team page with your ranking, win–loss record, roster, and registration status. Teams are unranked until they've played.
Team Ladder eligibility
A registered team with three accepted players can enter Team Ladder matchmaking. Your teammates can be in the same room or on the other side of the world.
How a team match is played
A team match is a sequence of normal 33 Rotation games — the same game you already play. Each team sets its player order, then the two leadoff players meet. The loser is out; the winner stays on and faces the next player from the other team. It continues until one team has nobody left standing. The team still standing takes the match, and the result moves Team Elo, the team's record, and its ladder rank.
