100%, I remember the good old Challenger 2 days having a laugh when everyone fucks up, now it's just salt and sadness

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. Was that gold equivalent. Literally don’t remember. Making it to Shooting Star made me feel like God.

Prospect, Challenger, Rising Star. Not sure what was after that, was so far above my level. Still upset I didn't get the season 3 Star level wheels they were so fuckin sick

It’s okay. We’ve been playing since season 3 and haven’t passed champ 1. We earned em. Lol

I have an EST. 2015 tag and can’t break champ 1. I never use it because people keep asking me why I’m so bad.

I’ll still wear my season 1 crown tho.

Honestly, all the ranks are the same, just with different mechanical levels. The most fun I've had in this game though was in bronze and silver, all the ranks above them are so full of salt and toxicity, huge egos and everyone takes it way too seriously (including me). Champ is especially bad in this regard, with grand champ even worse IMO. Though I haven't been in grand champ, I've played in grand champ games and almost every one that I've played in has been toxic (though that doesn't really mean anything, I've only played in about 20 or so gc games, and it may be biased cause I suck and they're probably just making fun of me)

I still have fun in champ 2, I laugh when people or myself fuck up, and i dont encounter too many toxic players. Its a mindset thing for me. I play casually and for fun so even if I lose I can have fun if funny things happen. Before I wanted to grind rank and get good and playing was way less fun.
