Managing player engagement is a crucial challenge in the online gaming industry, as many games generate revenue through subscription models and microtransactions. Competitive video games, a prominent category of online games, involve players being repeatedly matched against one another. The matchmaking systems in these games determine players' opponents and thus play a vital role in maintaining player engagement. We propose a dynamic model to analyze player dynamics and optimize matchmaking policies for maximum engagement. Our model takes into account two essential factors in competitive games: heterogeneous skill levels and players' aversion to losing. Additionally, the model enables us to consider pay-to-win (PTW) strategies and AI-powered bots, which are contentious methods of influencing player engagement and endogenously affect the optimal matchmaking policy.
