The matchmaking algorithm is the unsung hero that determines exactly who you will face every time you press the 'Battle' button.

This article explores how developers design these algorithms to keep queue times short while maintaining a competitive environment.

This is why winning streaks inevitably end in a 'wall' of difficult matches; the system is functioning exactly as intended.

This is why all true esports tournaments and competitive challenges utilize the 'Tournament Standard' ruleset.
