Team creation for Tier 2 matches

Build with
a little help.

The challenge

Familiar game.
Unfamiliar players.

Unfamiliar players, limited match insights and no team validation reduced confidence in Tier 2 matches. Fewer teams. Lower contest participation.

Simplify multi-team creation with contextual insights, player stats and team validation.

Research

What made
team creation difficult?

We surveyed active players across Tier 1 and Tier 2 matches.

Sai listening and taking notes

What is your biggest challenge while creating teams?

  • Lack of player/
    match info

  • Too time consuming
  • Hard to differentiate between teams

How much time do you usually spend creating your first team?

  • 5-10 minutes

  • More than 10 minutes
  • Less than 5 minutes

Where do you usually get match tips before creating teams?

  • YouTube and
    influencers

  • Inside the app (player info, stats)
  • Friends/groups outside the app

Would you use an AI-powered “Complete My Team” feature to save time?

  • Yes,
    definitely.

  • Maybe, sometimes
  • No, I prefer manual selection
