It continues, "Not limited to the match results, your final ranking will be determined by your performance. Give it your all, soldier!"

So suppose your rank is or was Elite or less. When you start COD: Mobile Ranked mode, you will be given three MP Ranked Placement Match to play. Based on your performance in those matches, you can quickly rank up.
There are many concerns over this new system, as many players worry that if they don't perform better in those three Ranked Placement Matches, they will get placed in a lower rank than they deserve.
Well! That might be true, and it may also take longer to rank up that way, which infuriates many players. But assuming you don't perform well in three back-to-back matches, starting in a lower rank would be great, as you can get easy wins while practicing.
