I have played at least 60 games in 3v3 competitive elimination the last few days to get into top 500 and I didn’t manage to get into it. I have SMS-Protection activated (+Blizzard Authenticator) and I was over 3000SR the whole time. I played all the games in the same region, so there is nothing wrong.
Does anyone know how to get into top500 on 3v3? Blizzard Support and various players couldn’t help me and Support said I need to write in the forums so here I am.
Is there anyone, that has gotten into top500 and knows what I need to do to get it?
A friend of me said that maybe it’s needed to play 5 hours and I also have done that and still nothing happened…
I would really enjoy if someone could help me out…

Same, except I’m not above 3000. Do you have to be above 3000? It wasn’t like that in other arcades?
All people in the top 500 at the moment are diamond, I think that’s needed
I think you have to verify your account via phone or something now to get top 500 anything.
Hello Verion,
Have you had the SMS-protection active for those 60 games? The new requirements for Top 500 in any game mode do include at least 50 games played with this enabled. Since this is a new rule I’d expect that to be the issue but it could be something else.

Funny it doesn’t say giving blizzard your phone number is a requirement to get top 500.
More corporate spying. Blizzard no better than any other company.

They did mention this point explicitly for the start of season 11. The idea is to combat multiple accounts from the same person in Top 500. Also it is just a phone number. There is nothing they can do to spy on you with it other then attempt to call it or send it texts. You aren’t installing anything on your phone.
This could actually be it… I didn’t know that it had to be active the whole time, thank you!
Don’t be ridiculous, what kind of fascist rule would that be
You need to have SMS enabled for all of the 50 matches.
This is to prevent people from playing 49 matches, then buying a temporary phone and attaching it. You have to play with a phone attached for all 50.
It isn’t just a phone number. You can find out a whole lot of info about a person from their phone number.
And it doesn’t combat multiple accounts well. A lot of people can afford two phone numbers or use a friend’s or gf/bf’s number.
I believe the measures are taken to prevent high ranking accounts from being hijacked and then made to throw high profile games. It just offers another way for players to take back their account before any damage is done.
I have only 2750 sr and can’t find a game it took me 30 minutes of waiting til one of my teammates left and I had to keep waiting. I’ve waited longer than I have playing the game. They should’ve put in solo queue
