About Vanguard
Vanguard is a legendary nameplate for Team Up. Earned only by voting for Team Up on top.gg — a leading-edge sweep of teal and ice driving forever forward, the front line of every vote. It is never sold: it is won from the vote crate, which you earn by voting for Team Up on top.gg, and once earned it applies across every league you play in.
Vanguard is a nameplate — it paints your entire row on a Team Up leaderboard. The animated background, the accent border, and any signature particle effect all update the moment you equip it, so wherever your community tracks its standings (a public league page or a leaderboard embedded in Discord) your row carries Vanguard's look. Nameplates are cosmetic only: they change how your row appears, never your rating or your placement.
Design & animation
Vanguard is built on a gradient of charcoal, emerald, teal and silver, sweeping edge to edge across the plate. The animation is a smooth looping animation, at a slow and hypnotic pace (4.5s per loop). On the leaderboard it carries a signature "vanguard" particle effect layered over the row.
Legendary is the top tier — reserved for the most elaborate, fully-animated items, finished with a gold glow that stands out from every other row on the board.
