About Chess Knight
Chess Knight is an epic badge for Team Up. An obsidian knight on royal purple, for players who think two moves ahead. It is a one-time $2.49 unlock that then applies across every league you play in.
Chess Knight is a badge — a small animated mark that sits right next to your name on every ranked row. Badges are the most compact way to add personality to your presence: they read clearly at row height, stack neatly beside your gamer tag, and show up anywhere your leaderboard does, including inside Discord. Like every Team Up cosmetic, Chess Knight is purely visual and has no effect on your rating.
Design & animation
Chess Knight is drawn as a glossy hard-enamel pin, so it reads as a small piece of art rather than an emoji. It moves with a pulsing shimmer that swells and glows, at a measured pace (4s loop). A purple glow rings the icon so it stays visible against any row background.
Epic is a premium tier: richer color work, more pronounced motion, and a purple glow that signals you have invested in your presence.
