Current status of the matchmaking request.

QUEUED -- The matchmaking request has been received and is currently waiting to be processed.

PLACING -- The FlexMatch engine has matched players and is in the process of placing a new game session for the match.
COMPLETED -- Players have been matched and a game session is ready to host the players. A ticket in this state contains the necessary connection information for players.

Matchmaking requests that fail to successfully complete (statuses FAILED, CANCELLED, TIMED_OUT) can be resubmitted as new requests with new ticket IDs.
