How PvP tiers work

Everything about ranked PvP on DGNetwork: how you get your first tier, what each tier means and how to climb to Grandmaster.

By the DGNetwork team · Updated 11 November 2026

Short answerPlay 5 placement matches in the ranked queue on play.dgnetwork.in. You get a starting tier based on how you did and who you beat, then you climb by winning ranked matches - from LT5 up to Grandmaster.

How do I get my first tier?

  1. Join play.dgnetwork.in on Java or Bedrock.
  2. Open the ranked queue and pick a kit.
  3. Play 5 placement matches. They can be in any ranked kits.
  4. Your first tier is set from your results and the strength of the players you beat - a close loss to a strong player can count for more than an easy win.

What are the tiers?

There are 17 tiers. Each number from 5 (where you start) to 1 has a Low, Mid and High step, and above that sit Master and Grandmaster.

LevelTiers (lowest to highest)
Tier 5LT5 → MT5 → HT5
Tier 4LT4 → MT4 → HT4
Tier 3LT3 → MT3 → HT3
Tier 2LT2 → MT2 → HT2
Tier 1LT1 → MT1 → HT1
EliteMaster → Grandmaster

LT means Low Tier, MT Mid Tier and HT High Tier.

How do I climb?

Win ranked matches. Each kit has its own tier, and the tier list ranks players by their tier points from the ranked queue. Your overall tier shows how you do across all kits.

  • Beating higher-tier players moves you up faster.
  • Play the kits you're strongest in to push your best tier, and practise the rest in casual matches.
  • Check your stats, recent matches and rivals on your player profile - search your name on the tier list.

What do tiers unlock?

Some tournaments need a minimum overall ranked tier (and a minimum play time) to join. Your tier also shows next to your name on the tier list, so everyone can see where you stand.

Is ranked fair?

Ranked follows the same server rules as everything else: no hacked clients, autoclickers, reach or unfair mods, and exploiting queues or stats is not allowed. Only use mods from the allowed mods list.
