Thresholds recorded on September 24, 2026 from the official leaderboard (Season 1, Europe Solo; in Duos, the tiers checked from Diamond I to Royalty I are identical). Each division has 5 tiers, from V (lowest) to I (highest). Example: Royalty = 1,800,000 points, i.e. 10 wins with 5 kills each (10 × 175,000 + 10 × 5,000). Before playing 10 matches, a player is in placement, with no division.
