Your team
Your team is 6 real pro players from the league's region, one squad for the whole league, changed through transfers.
2
Vanguards2
Duelists2
Strategists100.0
Budget (credits)- Roles: exactly 2 Vanguards, 2 Duelists and 2 Strategists, matching each player's role on their real team.
- Budget: the team's total price can't exceed 100.0 credits. Star players cost more, so you'll need a mix.
- Team limit: at most 2 players from the same real team.
- Region: only players from your league's region (EMEA, Americas, or both).
- Active players only: players must be on a current Ignite roster. Substitutes can be picked, but they only score in maps they actually play.
Captain
Choose one player as captain. Your captain's points count ×2. Change captain any time before the lock, with no transfer needed.
Your team carries over from week to week. Do nothing and the same team (and captain) plays again.
Gameweeks & locks
- A gameweek is one weekend of Ignite matches. Weeks run Tuesday to Monday (UTC), so late Sunday matches in the Americas count for the same weekend.
- Your team locks at the first match of the gameweek. After that, changes apply to the next gameweek. The app shows a countdown.
- Pick'em predictions lock per match, when that match starts, so you can still pick later matches in the weekend.
- Other managers' teams become visible once the gameweek locks.
Scoring
Each of your players earns points from their real team's results, and from their own stats when available. Points are added up per gameweek.
Team results
| Event | Points | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Map won | +2 | For each map the player's team wins, if the player played it |
| Series won | +4 | When the team wins the match (best of 3, 5 or 7) |
| Clean sweep | +2 | Series won without dropping a map (e.g. 2-0, 3-0) |
Player stats
When per-map stats are recorded for a match, players also score from their own performance:
| Stat | Points | Per |
|---|---|---|
| Knockout (KO) | +0.25 | each KO |
| Death | −0.5 | each death |
| Assist | +0.1 | each assist |
| Map MVP | +3 | per map |
Role bonus (per map, the highest tier reached counts):
| Role | Measured by | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Vanguard | damage taken per 10 min | +1 at 12,000+, +2 at 16,000+ |
| Duelist | hero damage per 10 min | +1 at 15,000+, +2 at 20,000+ |
| Strategist | healing per 10 min | +1 at 15,000+, +2 at 20,000+ |
Example. Your captain's team wins a series 2-0: 2 × 2 maps + 4 for the series + 2 for the sweep =
10 points, doubled to
20 as captain, before any stat points.
- Forfeits: a team that wins by walkover gets the series points, but no map or sweep points.
- Live matches: map points appear as maps finish; series and sweep points arrive when the match ends.
- Corrections: if a result is corrected, the gameweek is re-scored automatically.
Pick'em
Predict the matches in your league's region for extra points, added to your gameweek total.
| Prediction | Points |
|---|---|
| Correct winner | +3 |
| Exact map score (with the correct winner) | +3 more |
Tap a team to pick the winner, then optionally tap an exact score (only valid results for the format are offered, e.g. 3-1 in a best of 5). Picks lock when the match starts. A wrong winner scores nothing, and walkovers only award the winner points.
Prices & transfers
Prices
- Players cost between 8.0 and 22.0 credits. Starting prices reflect how strong their team is.
- After each gameweek, the prices of players whose team played move by up to 0.3 credits: up if they outscored that week's average, down if they didn't.
- Players you already own count at the lower of what you paid and their current price. A price rise never forces you to sell, and a drop never counts against you. New signings cost the current price.
Transfers
- Your first team is free to build.
- After that, each gameweek you get 2 free transfers. A transfer is any player who wasn't in last gameweek's team.
- Each transfer beyond that costs 4 points, taken from that gameweek's score. The app warns you before you save.
- Unused free transfers don't roll over. Changing your mind within the same gameweek doesn't cost extra, because transfers are always counted against last week's team.
Standings
Your gameweek score is your team's points (captain ×2, minus any transfer penalty) plus your pick'em points. The league table ranks everyone by total points across the season; managers on the same total share a rank. Tap another manager to see their team for a locked gameweek.
FAQ
My player didn't score this week. Why?
Their team may not have played that gameweek. Teams that qualify directly for an event can skip a round, for example. Check the fixtures, and consider a transfer for weeks your player's team is off.
What happens if a player leaves their team?
Players who aren't on a current Ignite roster become inactive. They stay in your team for now, but the team builder flags them, and you'll need to replace them before you can save any other changes. Once removed, they can't be picked again unless they rejoin a roster.
Why do teammates sometimes score exactly the same?
Without per-map stats, players score from their team's results only, so everyone who played gets the same team points. When stats are entered, individual performance makes the difference.
I missed the lock. What now?
Your previous team plays that gameweek. Any changes you make now apply from the next gameweek.
