How to Earn Raffle Tickets:
To qualify for a Raffle Ticket in a ranked match, you must meet all three of the following conditions:
- Play a Gauntlet Ranked Game
- Reach at least Round 16 (survive past the early game).
- Do not surrender — surrenders disqualify you from earning a ticket.
- Finish in the Top 6 of the game.
Qualified players (1st–6th place) each earn 1 Raffle Ticket per game. Players finishing 7th–8th do not earn a ticket.
Quadratic Correction System:
To discourage multi-account farming and reward true participation, we apply a Quadratic Correction just before the raffle draw.
Here’s how it works:
- We take a snapshot of your Raffle Tickets.
- The number of entries you get in the raffle is the square of your ticket count per account.
Example:
- 10 tickets on one account = 100 entries
- 5 tickets on 2 accounts = 25 + 25 = 50 entries
- 2 tickets on 5 accounts = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 20 entries
Keeping all your tickets on one account greatly increases your chances of winning!
The Raffle Draw:
Every 2 weeks, a raffle is held. Here’s how it works:
- All entries are pooled together based on the Quadratic Correction.
- 5 unique winners are randomly selected — no repeat winners.
- Your number of entries directly influences your odds of winning!
Raffle Rewards Breakdown:
- 1st place: 100 $ILV
- 2nd place: 50 $ILV
- 3rd place: 25 $ILV
- 4th place: 15 $ILV
- 5th place: 10 $ILV
Total Rewards: 200 $ILV every 2 weeks — split across 5 winners!
Summary:
- Play Ranked Games: Reach Round 16, don’t surrender, and finish in the Top 6.
- Earn Raffle Tickets: 1 ticket per qualifying match.
- Quadratic Correction: Consolidate tickets on a single account to maximize your raffle entries.
