What Does Ace By My Icon Mean?

On the other hand, the term ‘Ace’ can also appear in a different context during a match, specifically when looking at the scoreboard. If younotice the word ‘Ace’ by your icon mid-game, it does not imply you achieved an Ace kill.

Instead, this indicatesyou are currently the highest-performing playeron your team, making you the match’sMost Valuable Player (MVP)orSecondary Valuable Player (SVP)at that point.
