The current season is Beta Season 1. Deadlock splits each ranked season into parts, and every part has its own leaderboard. When a new part starts, its ladder starts empty and fills up as people play their ranked matches.
Season dates

All times are UTC. This page changes as soon as Valve moves a date, so it always shows the current schedule.
What happens when a part ends
- That part's leaderboard closes and the next part starts a new one.
- The game keeps a history of your ranked seasons. It shows the rank you finished on and the highest rank you reached. If you didn't finish your calibration matches, it says so.
- The rank distribution keeps the final numbers for every finished part, so you can still look up where you placed.
Where you stand
The rank distribution shows how many players are in each rank this part. Every rank has its own page too, from Initiate up to Eternus, with the share of players at that rank or above.
