How many matches are needed to reach Master?
So, how many matches does it actually take?
I’ve made a simulator below.
Just enter your current points and win rate to see how many matches you'll need to reach Master.
If you want to include the possibility of being demoted, check the box.
*Since win/loss results are randomized based on your win rate, results may vary each time even with the same inputs.

By the way, how many matches do you think *you* need to reach Master?
About 180 matches, give or take...
If each match takes 10 minutes, that’s about 30 hours...
What happens after a rank reset?
By the way, ranks seem to reset monthly.
Here's a minor info update for those participating in this current ranked season! 📝

This type of rollover should be familiar to most who enjoy participating in ranked challenges, but a friendly reminder to those experiencing it for the first time. pic.twitter.com/EUvUWbxHVB
If you reach Master, you’ll start from Hyper Ball 3 next season.
Even then, with a 50% win rate, it could still take 200–300 matches...
Thanks for reading all the way to the end.
