Placement Matches

Your placement games decide where your ranked journey starts. Do them well and you skip a long climb. Do them badly and you spend weeks clawing back out of a rank that does not reflect how you play. With **Deadlock placement matches** on eloboost.gg, a high-rank booster plays your placements on your account so you start from a better spot.

You choose your previous rank (or Unranked), how many placement games you need, and your server. The booster takes it from there, and you follow each game on your order page.

Before you have a rank, your profile shows **Obscurus**, which is Deadlock's unranked state. To get a real rank, you play **8 placement games**. Parties are disabled during placements, so every game is played solo. Once the eight games are done, you land on a rank and sub-rank somewhere on the ladder.

That ladder has eleven ranks: Initiate, Seeker, Acolyte, Sentinel, Mystic, Ritualist, Emissary, Oracle, Phantom, Ascendant and Eternus, each with six sub-ranks from I to VI. Where you land after placements depends on your results, which is why every one of those eight games matters more than a normal ranked match.

Getting to placements also takes work. Ranked only opens after you collect enough Standard mode wins, so on a new account placements are the second step, right after unlocking ranked.

Placement games feel different from normal ranked. Everyone in the lobby is still calibrating, so teams are less predictable and games can swing hard. A player who stays calm, farms well and groups for the right objectives tends to win these games more often, and that is exactly the kind of player who should be on your account for them.

• Your remaining placement games played, up to all 8
• A high-rank booster playing on your account
• Pricing based on your previous rank or Unranked
• Live progress after every game and chat with your booster
• GG Points earned on the order

The order is done when the number of placement games you selected has been played. If a refund is due for any reason, it goes to your eloboost.gg wallet.

Placements suit players who just unlocked ranked and want a strong start, players coming back who need to place again and do not want to risk a weak start, and anyone short on time who would rather not spend eight high-stakes games on a cold start. It also helps if you already played a few placements, lost some and want the rest handled by someone stronger.

If you have not unlocked ranked yet, order Ranked Unlock first. Placements cannot start until the ranked queue is open on your account.

Placements are also a good moment to get help because they cannot be redone right away. Once the eight games are played, the rank you land on is your starting point, and climbing from a low start takes far more games than placing well in the first place.

Most of our Deadlock services offer Duo, where you play with the booster in your party. Placements are different. The game does not allow parties during placements, so there is no way to queue together. That is why this service is **Solo only**: the booster logs into your account and plays the games.

Your login is handled carefully. It is stored encrypted and is shown only to the booster assigned to your order. If you want to watch, add **Stream Games** and follow the matches live.

This also means placement boosts do not need any coordination from you. You do not have to be online at a set time or keep your evening free. The booster plays when lobbies are good, and you check the results whenever it suits you.

Pick the rank and sub-rank you held before, or **Unranked** if you have never been ranked. The previous rank is used to price the order and gives the booster a sense of what kind of lobbies to expect. Unranked accounts have their own price, since there is no history yet.

No exact result after placements can be promised, because your final rank comes from the game itself. What a strong booster does is give each of the eight games the best possible chance.

If you already played some placements, set the game count to the number left. You only pay for the games the booster actually plays, and the booster picks up with whatever results you have so far.

• Delivery speed: Standard, Express (around 20% faster) or Super Express (around 40% faster, top priority)
• Legend Booster: one of our top-rated boosters plays your placements

• Play Offline: your friends do not see you online during the games

Prices for each option are shown in the checkout before you pay.

**Legend Booster** makes sense when you want your strongest possible start, since every placement game counts. **Stream Games** lets you watch each game as it happens, and **Play Offline** keeps your friends from seeing you online while the booster plays.

Eight games is a short order. How fast it goes depends on your server, the time of day and how quickly lobbies fill. The checkout shows the estimated completion and average start time for your order. Express and Super Express put you higher in the queue if you want it done sooner.

Your login details are stored encrypted and are shown only to the booster assigned to your order. Nobody else on the team sees them. Every match is played by hand: no cheats, no scripts and no third-party tools touch your account or your game client.

If you want to keep an eye on things, the order page shows live progress and lets you message your booster at any time. You can also pause the order whenever you want to play yourself, and switch on **I'm In Game** before you log in so the booster waits instead of trying to connect.

Want a different booster? Ask from the order page. Live chat support is there if you need help before or during the order.

Once your rank shows up, the real climb starts. A few tips for your first ranked games:

• Play heroes you are comfortable with rather than testing new ones
• Buy items on time and do not sit on unspent Souls
• Rotate with your team for Walkers, Urns and the Mid Boss
• Review a lost game before jumping into the next one

If you want to go further without the grind, a Rank Boost can take you from your new rank to a target of your choice.

Placements are where your season starts, but the ladder is long. With six sub-ranks in every rank, steady play matters more than a single great game.

• High-rank boosters for all 8 placement games
• Pricing by your previous rank, including Unranked
• Encrypted login details, visible only to your booster
• Live progress, chat, pause and I'm In Game on the order page
• Ask for a different booster if needed
• Live chat support and GG Points on every order
