Matchmaking Now Favors Closer Skill Matches Over Faster Queues

Matches will now be made with smaller rating differences between teams, at the expense of longer queue times. Relegation and Promotion matches now only occur at color boundaries, every 5,000 CS Rating points, and the possible CS Rating win/loss amounts were increased to move players through calibration faster.
