Competitive Warband Matchmaking
| 
|
Warband matchmaking is a system developed which allows a style of practice that is closer to the format which players experience in tournament matches.
It is very easy for new players to pick up and only requires basic understanding of the game Mount&Blade: Warband before jumping into a realm of the
competitive side of the game.
The client tracks basic statistical information such as Kills, Deaths, Wins, Losses and MMR which is a value that determines the skill level of each player.
Currently in order to practice for tournaments, players usually resort to public battle servers with caps as high as fifty players which does not in any way
resemble an actual competitive match.
Now players willing to sharpen their skills and gain experience on the battle field can do so at any time using Warband Matchmaking Client rather than
being restricted to having to wait for a private scrim.
