Badges and how to earn them
Badges show on your profile once you've earned them. Here's every one, and exactly what it takes.
Playing
Earned from ladder matches. A match counts once both sides have confirmed the score (or it confirms itself after the confirm window).



Ladder Climber
Reach the top 3 of a ladder with at least 4 players, or finish a ladder season in the top 3 after playing at least one match that season.
Once you've finished a season in the top 3, you keep it.
