Quick Play & Matchmaking

Quick Play is the fast lane into a game — jump into 1v1, 2v2, or 5v5 on official or workshop maps, spin up an instant scrim, or queue into regional matchmaking with friends.

Latency-aware regions

Before you queue, 5Stack pings every available region and shows your latency to each, color-coded from excellent to poor. You pick which regions you're willing to play in and set a maximum acceptable latency, so matchmaking only ever puts you on servers you'll actually enjoy. A one-click refresh re-measures everything.

Queue with friends

Form a party and queue together as a premade, with a captain who drives ready-up and team decisions. Invite friends straight from the lobby, and the party stays together through the queue instead of accidentally splitting.

Ready up your way

When a match is found you get a ready-up prompt — or, if you'd rather skip the confirmation, you can turn the "match found" modal off for instant accept.

On-demand or your own servers

Matchmaking can provision an on-demand server in your chosen region automatically, or run on your dedicated/third-party servers — see Matches for how servers are selected.
