“Ranked play BO7” usually refers to competitive modes that use best‑of‑7 series formats (first to 4 wins) instead of single games or best‑of‑3/5.

What “ranked play BO7” means

  • “Ranked play” = a competitive ladder or elo system where wins/losses affect your visible rank or MMR.
  • “BO7” = best‑of‑7; you play up to 7 games in a series, and the first team to 4 wins takes the match.
  • This structure is mostly used in higher‑stakes competition (tournaments, playoffs, finals) rather than everyday ladder, because it takes a long time to finish.

Where you typically see BO7

You almost never see BO7 in casual ranked playlists; it’s usually in:

  1. Esports leagues and tournaments
    • Finals or deep‑bracket series for shooters, MOBAs, or sports titles are sometimes BO7, but the ranked ladder itself stays single‑game or BO3/BO5.
  2. Custom / private leagues
    • Community or Discord leagues often run their own BO7 formats using custom lobbies while still reporting results back to a public ranked profile.

Because you didn’t mention a specific game (like Call of Duty, Valorant, Rocket League, etc.), there isn’t one universal “ranked play BO7” menu location I can point to. In almost all modern games, the normal “Ranked” or “Competitive” button is not BO7 by default; BO7, if it exists, will usually be:

  • In tournament mode or “League Play/Playoffs” rather than standard ranked.
  • Or entirely outside built‑in ranked, run by organizers with custom lobbies.

How to find it in your game

To actually locate BO7 for the specific title you mean, you’ll usually need to:

  1. Check the “Tournament” or “Esports” tab instead of the basic “Ranked” playlist.
  2. Look at official event pages or in‑game event banners describing the format.
  3. Ask in that game’s subreddit/Discord (people will know if any official BO7 ranked queues exist).

If you tell me which game you’re asking about (e.g., “where is ranked play BO7 in [game name]?”), I can give step‑by‑step menu instructions or clarify if it doesn’t exist at all.
