The Story
He announced the milestone himself on X, writing simply: “World’s first Eternus. 1 of 1. Job finished. Rank 1.”
To get there, he finished the season with an 89-40 win-loss record — a strong 69% win rate against some of the toughest competition in the game.
Eternus isn’t easy to reach. Unlike lower ranks, where you need a fixed number of points to rank up, Eternus subranks are based on percentiles that update daily — meaning you’re constantly being measured against the best players currently active, not a fixed point target.
Crayon_fps is a known name in the Deadlock community — a top 20 player who also competes for Davenport University’s esports team. He regularly plays and creates content around the game on his Twitch channel.
Why It Matters
This is the first time anyone has hit the ceiling of Deadlock’s ranked system since it launched with Beta Season 1 on July 30, 2026. With Eternus queue restrictions requiring duo partners to also be Eternus rank, crayon_fps was effectively grinding solo at the very top with no one else at his level to play alongside — until now.
