About Gauntlet

Gauntlet is an epic badge for Team Up. A steel gauntlet thrown down with a crimson cuff — the challenge, made, in Season 2. It is never sold: it is granted the moment you buy the Season 2 — Rivals Pass, and once earned it applies across every league you play in.

Gauntlet is a badge — a small animated mark that sits right next to your name on every ranked row. Badges are the most compact way to add personality to your presence: they read clearly at row height, stack neatly beside your gamer tag, and show up anywhere your leaderboard does, including inside Discord. Like every Team Up cosmetic, Gauntlet is purely visual and has no effect on your rating.

Design & animation

Gauntlet is drawn as a glossy hard-enamel pin, so it reads as a small piece of art rather than an emoji. It moves with a lively bounce that draws the eye, at a measured pace (2.4s loop). A red glow rings the icon so it stays visible against any row background.

Epic is a premium tier: richer color work, more pronounced motion, and a purple glow that signals you have invested in your presence.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get Gauntlet?

Gauntlet is not for sale, at any price. It is granted the moment you buy the Season 2 — Rivals Pass. Once you have it, it is yours permanently.

Does Gauntlet affect my rating or rank?

No. Gauntlet is purely cosmetic. It changes how you appear on Team Up — the look of your leaderboard row — and has zero effect on your Elo, your win rate, or where you place.
