Whilst having the chance to play against the top players is the best way to take your play to the next level, we thought we'd even out the playing field with a new weekly cup series solely for Platinum and Diamond players to see how you stand up against players in your own league! There is also a cup for Bronze, Silver and Gold players at the same time.
