Custom lobbies

Matches with players you choose, with no queue and no rating change.

Not every game needs a queue. Custom lobbies are for matches between people you pick. There's no queue and no rating change, so they suit events, try-outs and playing with friends.

Making a lobby

  1. Run /lobby create. A lobby panel appears, set to 3v3. The host can switch it to 2v2 with the Mode button.
  2. Press Invite and pick players.
  3. Players press a Join Team button to choose a side. If both teams aren't full when the match starts, the bot shuffles everyone into random teams, including players who already picked.
  4. When the lobby is full, the start buttons appear. Only the host can start, and picks best of 1, 3 or 5.

/lobby status shows your lobby, and /lobby disband closes it. Lobbies are part of the paid tier.

Playing the match

From there a lobby match runs like a scrim. Everyone readies up, the bot posts both teams and the maps for the series, and the players vote on the winner at the end. A lobby never changes anyone's rating.

If a lobby match gets stuck, ask a Scrim Supervisor to end it with /setresult. A new lobby can be set up after that.
