It does, in order to get reqs, that stars have to aline. you have to win, like, your first 10 matches without a single loss, and those matches all have to be against players that are on the higher end of the ladder so that you skyrocket to above 2000 within the first few matches. I got really lucky on the suspect ladder. I reached, like, 2400 in my first 10 battles, so now I have a lot of room to lose. The system is so flawed, though. It's dumb. Yeah, see what NixHex has to say about it.
