Scrim block inputs
Enter your values
Enter the training block you are actually running so the result reflects your pace, not a generic one-size-fits-all schedule.

Promotion push
Four scrims a week with a focused review block
A team trying to convert a month of disciplined practice into one rank checkpoint without grinding as many public ladder games.
Result: Healthy scrim ROI with nearly a full checkpoint gained across the block.
Casual block
Two scrims a week with light VOD review
Useful for players who want to check whether a lighter team schedule is still moving the needle enough to justify the hours.
Result: A lower-pressure block that still produces measurable checkpoint progress.
High-tier grind
Five scrims a week at diamond pace
A demanding training block where the goal is to preserve efficiency even though each extra rank point is harder to earn.
Result: Practice volume is high, so the score shows whether the gain rate still justifies the block.
How the scrim value model works
The model totals scrim hours and review hours across a fixed block, then compares those hours against the rank points gained at the same pace. That produces a simple rank-points-per-hour number.
It also converts the total point gain into ladder-match equivalents using your average ranked points per match, which helps compare structured practice against raw public queue grinding.
Scrim value FAQ
Use the result as a planning signal, not a guarantee of future rank gains.
What does scrim value mean here?
This calculator treats value as progress gained per hour of structured practice. It does not claim scrims replace ranked games outright, but it helps show whether the block is creating enough forward movement to justify the schedule.
Why compare scrims to ladder matches?
The ladder-match equivalent gives a rough translation from rank points gained into the amount of public matchmaking time that might have been needed to create the same movement.
Why does rank tier matter?
Higher tiers usually need a larger checkpoint jump to feel meaningful. The calculator uses the selected rank to frame progress toward the next checkpoint instead of treating every gain as identical.
