Introducing Duels - Ranked, Unranked, Queue from anywhere

Hey! Today we're releasing Duels, our first new gamemode in a while. You fight other players one on one across eight kits, ranked or unranked. We also rebuilt ranking so it's easier to follow.

## Gamemodes
- **Sword**
- **Axe**
- **Mace**
- **Crystal**
- **UHC**
- **Spear Elytra**
- **Sumo**
- **Boxing**

Every match is **first to three rounds**.

You can queue **Ranked** or **Unranked** from the hotbar or the NPCs in the lobby. To fight a friend, use **Duel Someone** or `/duel <player> [kit]`. To watch a live match, use `/spectate <player>`.

## Queue from anywhere
You don't need to be in the Duels lobby to queue. Type `/queue <kit>` on any MythicMC server and you're in the queue. Keep playing wherever you are while you wait, and the action bar shows your queue status. When a match is found you're moved straight into the arena, and when it ends you go back to the server you came from. To leave the queue, use `/leavequeue`.

The same works in reverse. If you queued in the Duels lobby and the wait is taking a while, just leave and go play something else. You keep your place in the queue.

## How ranking works
- Everyone starts at **Mortal III** with 0 points.
- A ranked win gives **+25 points** and a ranked loss takes **-22**.
- Leaving or disconnecting mid-match counts as a loss.
- Unranked matches, draws and private duels don't change your points.
- Every **100 points** moves you up a division (III, II, I), and three divisions make a tier.

- **Mortal** → 0 points
- **Duelist** → 300 points
- **Awakened** → 600 points
- **Heroic** → 900 points
- **Ascendant** → 1200 points
- **Exalted** → 1500 points
- **Champion** → 1800 points
- **Legend** → 2100 points
- **Vanguard** → 2400 points

Your rank changes as soon as you cross a threshold. Once you reach Vanguard I, points keep counting toward the leaderboard. Ranked matchmaking pairs you with players close to your points.

## Upcoming regions
We'll open more server regions as demand grows. Our infrastructure already supports scaling into new regions.

## Upcoming updates
Right now we're working on stability, bug fixes and ping. After that we have cosmetics, replays, private games and more planned.

Thanks,
The MythicMC Team
