Hugin and Munin don’t only participate in the Grand Tournament, they bring whispers from the competitors directly to Odin’s ears (he has two of those). Recently these whispers have given Odin cause to fine tune how the Grand Tournament works for Season 40._ _Firstly, queuing into Ranked 2v2s can now be done solo. Whether you are eager to compete beyond your teammate’s endurance, waiting for a teammate to join, or just insistent on playing Ranked 2v2s NOW, you can do so with a matchmade teammate. Solo Queue Ranked 2v2 brings with it a brand new leaderboard! Who will be among the first batch of Valhallans? _ _**WARNING:** Solo Ranked 2v2 experiences may vary, we still recommend queuing with a friend 🙂_ _Remember that singular cause? Glory, also known as the Ranked currency. Glory was previously awarded to Brawlers at the end of a ranked season in a lump sum. Now Glory will be awarded to Brawlers after every qualifying ranked matchmade match. No longer will you need to wait an entire season to afford the extra 50 Glory needed for XY or Z in Mallhalla. _ _Speaking of Mallhalla, the Glorified Emote has hit the Ranked tab. Show off your Grand Tournament experience, heft that coinage with pride. Spend well earned Glory on this new glorious Emote, or start earning Glory towards it!_ _Tune into our Dev Streams on[ Twitch](https://twitch.tv/brawlhalla) or[ YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/Brawlhalla) nearly every Tuesday and Friday, at 1pm ET, and follow us on[ Discord](https://discord.gg/brawlhalla),[ Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/brawlhalla),[ TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@brawlhalla),[ X](https://twitter.com/brawlhalla), and[ Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/brawlhalla) to keep up with all the latest news!_ _If you’re new to Seasons, here’s some information you should know. You’re going to have a soft Elo reset and will also receive “Glory”, a currency that can only be earned by playing Ranked games. You can use it in the Ranked tab of Mallhalla to get special items to show your dedication to your favorite Legend. We hope you enjoy your rewards and enjoy the New Season!_ ##### Soft Elo Reset Formula _Soft Elo Reset is based on your current Elo at the end of the season._ _1v1 and 2v2 Personal Rating_ - _Under 1400: New Elo = Old Elo_ - _Over 1400: New Elo = 1400 + (Old Elo – 1400) / (3 – (3000 – Old Elo) / 800)_ _2v2 Team and Legend Rating_ - _2v2 Team & Legend Ratings have been brought closer to 750._ - _Under 2000: Elo = (Elo + 375) / 1.5_ - _Over 2000, we aggressively brought you back down as a way of resetting the top tiers. Diamond level players will be reset to high gold or low platinum._ ##### Glory Earnings Calculation _**Ranked Season 39's end will be the last time Glory is distributed in this way. ** Glory earned is based on a combination of your Highest Peak Rating (highest 1v1, 2v2, team, or Legend rating/Elo) and total Wins. This was designed in order to reward both skill and dedication for those who pursue Glory._ _You gain 20 Glory per win up to 150 wins, which gets you 3000 Glory. After 150 wins, each subsequent win gives you slightly less._ _Note: There is a minimum requirement of 10 games played to be eligible for Glory based on your rating._ For help estimating your Glory Gained or New Elo after the reset go to: [https://cms.brawlhalla.com/glory-calculator/](https://cms.brawlhalla.com/glory-calculator/) ##### Ranked Borders from Season 39 _If you placed in Gold or better in your best rating, you are given a ranked border that people will see in the match preview screen. There are Ranked borders for Gold, Platinum, and Diamond tiers. These will last for one season and will be updated again after the new season comes to a close._ _Your border from any previous season does not carry over or have any impact on your current border reward._ ##### Ranked Avatars from Season 39 _Ranked _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/291550/view/503978984819656769]_
