Developer Roadmap
Strategic.GG is evolving. These are longer-term ideas under exploration for the Chess-LoL Arena Portal, not features currently in development or release commitments:
-
⚡
Matchmaking & Source Ratings Automated queues with selected, source-attributed Chess.com time-control ratings and the player's source-attributed League rank shown separately. Strategic.GG will not combine them into a new Chess-LoL Elo/MMR.
-
⚡
Advanced Draft Formats & Points Systems Dynamic champion pick & ban phases for the Arena stage, integrated with custom point systems where bullet chess or fighting game outcomes directly impact draft priority, bans, and composition rules.
-
⚡
Tournament Brackets & Team Management Native support for multi-team tournaments and double-elimination brackets, allowing structured gaming groups to schedule and track matches over extended seasonal timeframes.
