What Does This Mean?
Brazilian Portuguese gaming phrase meaning to climb to a higher rank in a competitive matchmaking system, as in "preciso subir elo esse mês". In Brazilian usage "elo" names a player's ranked tier, so the phrase is used for raising one's own rank by winning ranked matches.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""Preciso subir elo antes do fim da temporada", disse o jogador."
LORE & ORIGIN
"Elo" comes from the Elo rating system devised by Arpad Elo for chess and later adopted by video games to rank players; Wikipedia's article on Elo hell describes it that way. The Mais Esports League of Legends glossary defines "elo" as a player's placement in the ranked system. The verb phrase "subir elo" itself is not defined in the pages opened for this entry, and no dated first use is documented. Related entries cover "elo" and "elo hell".
