**********The Elo Rating System is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in zero-sum games such as chess and most eSports. It is named after its creator Arpad Elo, a Hungarian-American physics professor. Zero-sum means whatever is gained by one player is lost by the other. The K-Value for this ladder is set to 20. For players of an equal Elo, each win will increase your Elo by 20 points and each loss will reduce your elo by 20 points. Battling someone of a higher or lower Elo Rating will also affect the total Elo points gained or lost.
Each player is assigned a 1500 ELO after their first duel and can rise or drop from there.
