[ SLANG ][ GAMING ][ NOUN ]
A forecasted term for reaching a competitive rank and then deliberately stopping playing ranked matches for the rest of the season purely to protect that rank from ever dropping, rather than continuing to play and risk losing it.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"He hit his highest rank ever and immediately stopped playing ranked, pure rank camping for the rest of the season."
LORE & ORIGIN
A predictive term borrowing 'camping' from its established gaming meaning of holding a defensive position instead of pushing forward, anticipating a name for players who treat their peak rank as something to defend by simply not playing anymore.
