Dueling Arcade Playlist system is a system added something like 10 months ago.

it works this way:
there are two Arcade Playlists in the casual tab that rotate through existing Extra Modes. the most popular mode after a week will remain available the next week, while the less popular one will cycle out and return at a later date.

you can understand which ones are arcade playlists by going in the casual tab and seeing the two modes competing for the best one at the top.

Except its not because Psyonix changes the core gamemode whenever they please. I guess they just dislike basic Heatseeker?

I think that a company this big wouldn't remove a playlist just because they don't like it, if it reflects a certain popularity in the player base.

Also, Im not aware of how many times or how heatseeker has been removed but could depend of multiple factors like:
- the mode is the least favorite one between the two available in a certain period.
- if both arcade modes are generally unpopular, then both will be replaced.
- arrival of LTM playlists (so the arcade ones get removed)

But I highly suggest someone more experienced than me in this to comment!

what counted the wins for me is winning in the "split shot" 3v3 mode and waiting for the winners screen to finish.
