How to Use LFG
From posting your first session to building a 5-star reputation — everything you need to know.
Finding Sessions
Browse with Activity Pill Filters
The LFG browse page has quick-filter pills for every activity type (Ranked, Casual, Raid, etc.). Click one to instantly filter — no form submission needed. Combine with the search bar for game-specific results.
Use Smart Match
At the top of the browse page (when logged in) you'll see "Smart Matches for You" — sessions for games already in your library. These are auto-selected based on what you actually play, so they're always relevant.
Advanced Filters
Click the Filters button to expand options: skill level (Beginner to Expert), mic requirement, and region. Finding a low-pressure session with no mic needed in your region takes seconds.
Posting a Session
① Search for your game
Type the game name in the search box — it pulls from your library and the full game database. Select the correct entry.
② Choose activity type
Be specific: "Ranked" vs "Casual" sets expectations. "Achievement Hunt" or "Speedrun" attracts exactly the right players.
③ Write a title that sells
Bad: "CS2 ranked". Good: "Diamond push — chill comms, serious about winning, no toxic". Your title is your elevator pitch.
④ Set skill level honestly
"Expert" keeps out mismatches. "Any" builds community. "Beginner" unlocks the Mentor badge for you. Choose what fits.
⑤ Schedule or post immediately
Leave the scheduled time blank for an instant post (expires in 24h). Set a future time to plan ahead — post expires 2h after.
⑥ Add tags
Tags like "no spoilers", "achievement hunter", or "chill vibes" filter out mismatched players before they even join.
Session Lifecycle
As host: click "Close & Complete" after the session ends to unlock ratings for all players.
As host: click "Cancel Post" if the session didn't happen. No penalties for legitimate cancellations.
As participant: click "Leave Session" if you need to drop out before it starts.
Building Your Reputation
After each session, every participant can rate every other participant on 4 dimensions. These ratings accumulate into a permanent public score visible on your profile.
Teamwork
Cooperation, covering teammates, following strategy
Communication
Callouts, responses, tone in voice or chat
Skill
Technical game performance for the session type
Fun Factor
Did they make the session enjoyable for everyone?
💡 Pro Tip: Rate Others First
Each rating you submit earns you +10 XP. You also unlock the "Reliable Teammate" badge faster by rating consistently. Visit "My Sessions → Rate Pending" to see everyone waiting for your feedback.

Pro Tips
Post at peak hours for your region (usually evenings). You'll fill faster and get better-matched players.
Use the "Boost" feature (50 GG Coins) on important sessions to keep them at the top of the list.
A specific title like "Elden Ring Radahn fight — need ranged DPS, calm environment" fills 3× faster than "Elden Ring coop".
Set "min level" to filter out brand-new accounts if your session requires game knowledge.
After completing a session, rate everyone — even a 30-second rating earns you +10 XP and helps the community.
Your reputation score is permanent. Being a good teammate compounds over time into visible status.
Tag your session with "no spoilers" for story content — players genuinely appreciate it.
