How can players tell how many MLG Pro Points they have?
MLG Pro Points will be displayed in two locations and updated when new MLG Pro Points Rankings are released every two weeks:
1. Standings page. This page will show the leaderboard and how many MLG Pro Points each player has, broken down by Arena.
2. Profile page. Each player who has MLG Pro Points will have a box on their profile that shows the amount of MLG Pro Points they have for each Arena and their MLG Status level.
Are there any other details to note about Pro Points?
1. One month of inactivity will remove a Player from the MLG Pro Points Rankings, but they’ll keep their MLG Pro Points in case they become active again.

Once MLG Pro Points are older than three months they will count for 75% of their original value, 50% for MLG Pro Points that are older than six months, 25% for MLG Pro Points that are older than nine months, and 0% for MLG Pro Points that are older than twelve months. The only exception to this rule is MLG Pro Points earned at Pro Circuit Championships, which will retain their original value until the conclusion of the following Pro Circuit Championship.
3. Players will only receive MLG Pro Points for their Team’s Ladder Ranking if they played and won at least one Match during the two-week period.
