🗺️ Roadmap Update: Rivalries, Competitive Balance & The Road Ahead

Hey managers,

Week 1 of SoClassic is officially underway! Our core philosophy will remain unchanged during this October launch month: build a healthy, skill-first game where free players can legitimately win Sorare Limited cards every week, while offering Premium managers a dedicated stage to battle for top rewards.

No pay-to-win in match scoring, just football knowledge, smart lineups, and tactical execution.

Here is a look at what is coming next.

⚔️ Head-to-Head Rivalries & The Supremacy Bet

Facing the same manager again? We’re turning repeat encounters into real storylines:

1. First, Rivalry Tracker: Whenever you meet a familiar opponent, the match card will display your H2H record (3W · 1D · 1L), active win-streak flames, and context badges (is he your nemesis, or are you dominating him?).

2. Coming second, The Supremacy Bet: Beat the same manager 3 times in a row? On your 4th match, you can unlock an optional Supremacy Bet before kickoff: Win: Take 5 points (instead of 4); your opponent gets 0.
   Lose: The underdog pulls the upset, claims 5 points, you get 0, and your streak resets.

As long as your win streak continues, the bet remains available on every future rematch.

High stake on the line! We want streaks to refleat the way we play Soclassic: every battle must be a challenge, and putting up a line up must be reflected way more than anywhere else.

📊 Keeping Leaderboards Fair & Balanced

We want champions crowned on tactical quality and not pure grind volume:

• Weekly "Best of 20": We are monitoring the top scores very closely to ensure that Sorare card score tie-breakers reward in-form squads and great scouting. We hope to keep the "best of 20" as it is for the duration of October. With the amount of bonus battle distributed during the Beta, the first weekly standings will be the most challenging. But we hope that the game will then find its rythme.

• Monthly Premium : Considering a "Best 100" Cap. To prevent the monthly ladder from turning into an endless volume contest, we are exploring a Best 100 performances cap per month for Premium. Tactical consistency and win rates should always beat brute-force volume. We will review October data closely before locking this in. Expect it to come in November.

🎯 The Bottom Line

A vibrant free-to-play ladder where anyone can win. A prestigious, high-stakes Premium arena. And soon, intense personal rivalries to settle on the pitch.

If you have any ideas to help the product grow, our DMs remain open!

Thank you for playing, and good luck in your Week 1 duels!

PS: Some cosmetic changes this morning on the way we display bonus battles. In order to make it more intelligible for you all.
