Ranked match

Two players, the same clues at the same second. Each scores whatever the clock says when they find it, so the faster one scores more. Best total over three rounds takes the duel, and the ranking points.

The dossier

One round, one pro to recognise. You never see the name, only facts landing one at a time: their clubs, their age, their nationality, their roles, their Majors, their S-Tier titles. You start with a single line on screen. By the end the whole dossier is out and the name is obvious.

The order of the clues

Nothing is shuffled. Clubs come out from the least famous to the best known, and the biggest one is held back to the very end: that is the clue that makes the name drop. A dossier that runs short is topped up with vaguer facts, how many clubs and the year they started, and those open it.

The clock and the points

A round lasts 70 seconds. For the first 5 it is still worth the full 100, long enough to type a name without being punished for it. After that the counter falls in a straight line, and it never quite reaches zero while the round is still running: answering on the last second pays very little, but always more than not answering at all. The final clue lands at least 10 seconds before the end, so you can act on it.

Answering

You type, a list opens, you pick the player. A wrong answer costs nothing: no lockout, no penalty, as many tries as you like. The clock is the real price. Every second spent guessing wrong shrinks what the right name is going to pay you.

Three rounds, then the golden round

A game is three rounds. In a duel both players score on the same puzzle: answering after your opponent pays less, never zero. If you are still level after the third, a golden round settles it: sudden death, worth one flat point, and the first answer takes the duel.

The game modes

Three ways in. Ranked hunts down someone of your own calibre, and it is your rank that sets how hard the puzzles get: reckon on five games before you are placed somewhere between Bronze and Champion. Among friends, you set the difficulty yourself before sending the link. Solo is three rounds against the clock, at whatever level you want.

Frequently asked questions

How many rounds are there in a game?

Three. In a duel, if both players are level after the third, a golden round is added. If nobody finds it another one starts, a notch easier. After three golden rounds with no answer, the duel is called a draw.

What does a wrong answer cost?

Nothing at all. The game tried locking a clue, then a flat three-second pause, and both turned the round into a punishment rather than a puzzle. Fire off as many names as you like: only the time counts.

Do I type the nickname or the real name?

Either works. The search goes through handles and real names, and it ignores leetspeak and accents: "simple" finds s1mple, "hojsleth" finds Højsleth. All that is left is picking the right row in the list.

Where do the facts in the dossier come from?

From Liquipedia, copied across as is. A title is an S-Tier tournament won, and Majors are counted separately among them. So a mistake can linger in a dossier. Spot one and the "Report a problem" button, bottom right, sends it straight to me.
