Pro Cards is an independent, non-commercial RLCS ratings and stats project. How the ratings are made, where the data comes from, and how to report a correction.

# About Pro Cards and how the ratings work

Pro Cards is an independent, non-commercial fan project that turns a decade of free, public RLCS data into one consistent set of player ratings, results and statistics. It has no ads, sponsors or paid features and is not affiliated with Psyonix, Epic Games or the RLCS.

## What is on the site

- A yearly rated card for every RLCS player since 2016, plus a live 2027 card.
- Every roster, ranked by team rating, and every org's history.
- Results and placements for [every RLCS event](https://rlprocards.com/event) and many third-party tournaments.
- [Per-game replay stats](https://rlprocards.com/stats) by season, and [all-time records](https://rlprocards.com/records).
- All of it as [open data](https://rlprocards.com/data).

## How the ratings are made

- **Overall card:** from results. Worlds, Majors and the Esports World Cup weigh most; regional events, MVPs and stat titles add to it. Each card blends the season (75%) with the previous one (25%).
- **OFF, DEF, IND and TEAM** and 20 attributes: from official RLCS replays on ballchasing.com, where 80 is an average pro that season. Seasons without replay data (mostly 2016-17) are converted from results onto the same scale.
- **Head to head:** every card plays every other card from its season on 38 categories; most matchups won ranks first.
- **The '27 live card** starts from the 2026 card and moves with 2027 results.

The ratings are a model and an opinion; results and stats are reported as recorded by the sources.
