Could someone please explain some terms to me?

I keep hearing pros say things like 'rank S/A/B/C', 'scrims', '6 mans' and things like that. Could someone please tell me what they are?

6mans: "RL6Mans is a competitive PUG system run via Discord. We provide our service for all PS4/PC players Diamond 1 and above in the Standard or Solo standard playlists, catering to the Oceanic, European, North American and South American regions. We have 4 different servers for all of the regions but they are all identical and work exactly the same way."

Scrims are scrimmages, practice matches.

The rank thing I'm not entirely sure about.

The ranks are just to differentiate the gap in 6 Mans. For example:

S would be the RLCS players.
X would be the RLRS players.

All the way down to Rank D, who are Diamonds. Think of it like a tier list.

Never even heard of that ranking system. Makes this sound like a Japanese game.

Well why would you? It's the internal ranking system of 6mans, so unless you are part of it, noone could expect you to know what it is :D
