rank up
Climb the ladder
To rank up is to advance to a higher level or tier within a structured system, especially in video games: I finally ranked up to platinum.
The phrase appears in competitive gaming, military contexts, and any environment with formal progression tiers.
Ranking up typically requires accumulating points, experience, or achievements.
