What An FPL-Style System Is
FPL is a third-party matchmaking system that the highest-ranked players in CS:GO use for their games. This helps them cut the chase in general matchmaking that often finds hackers and not-so-serious players.
FPL is commended by many for its benefits, mainly that of many pros being able to find other serious pros. This also helps them boost their streaming careers as more viewers tune in to see a pro take on other pros.
Tenz believes that Valorant and its leaderboard (a.k.a highest-ranked) players and streamers could certainly benefit from something like this.

Tenz says that he believes Valorant could use something like an FPL-style system for pros who don’t want to touch ranked. He also says that most streamers play ranked just to stream it without any other incentive.
