As a competitor, how do I join the ladder?

How do competitors climb the ladder?

What is the King of the Hill system?
The top competitor is crowned as the “King of the Hill.” Any competitor, regardless of rank, may challenge the King. If the King loses, they move down to Rank 2, and the challenger claims the top spot.

What happens if the King loses?
After losing, the King enters a 3-day cooldown period, preventing them from challenging the new King during this time.
