Rankings & Tiers define your journey in CPL Manager, a competitive game where winning tournaments, leagues, and other events builds your reputation, but climbing the ranks showcases your consistent dominance. Your team’s Rank Points determine your tier, starting at the bottom and aiming for the elite S-tier. This system balances progression with challenge, ensuring every manager has a chance at glory.
Tier System Overview
- Tier Structure: The player base is split into tiers based on Team Rank Points. Tiers range from C-Tier (entry level) to S-Tier (top 48 teams).
- Starting Point: New managers begin in C-Tier, typically spending 1–1.5 seasons here unless they earn enough Rank Points for promotion to B-tier.
- Progression: Gain Rank Points to move up, C → B → A → S. Each tier unlocks tougher opponents and bigger rewards.
- S-Tier Elite: Only the top 48 ranked teams reach S-Tier. They must maintain Rank Points to offset the 20% seasonal decay and if they want to climb the rankings higher.
- Decay Impact: Post-season reset, all teams lose 20% of their Rank Points, pushing inactive or ineffective managers down.
Competitions & Tiers
- Tier-Based Events: Some competitions match you with similar-ranked teams:
- End-of-Season Tournaments are based on Tiers
- Rookies Cup: Exclusive to C-Tier for newcomers.
- Major Qualification Stages: Tier-aligned qualifiers with different stages for the different Tiers.
- Cross-Tier Events: Most others (Ladders, Leagues, Minor) pit you against teams from C-to-S-Tier, testing your skills against all levels of experience.
- Strategy Tip: Use cross-tier matches to scout the approach of the higher teams. Observe their tactics and approaches to see how you can adapt your style to be more effective.
