+The Elo System Adapted
+<br>Your trophy count is a numerical representation of your skill; win a match, and you take trophies from the loser.<br>
+<br>If the system matches you perfectly, you should mathematically have a 50% chance of winning every single game you play.<br>
+It only looks at your numerical rating.With millions of players, you will occasionally draw a bad matchup.AI opponents ensure instant queue times for beginners.
