| |
| − | You can use the "propose battle" command to propose a battle with certain characteristics. It will be hosted and populated once a number of players have accepted to join. The command will show a link that has to be clicked by other players to accept the proposal.

| − | *<kbd>!proposebattle <parameters></kbd> can be followed by the parameters minelo, maxelo, minsize and maxsize. For example, "<kbd>!proposebattle maxelo=1600 minsize=6 maxsize=6</kbd>" would propose a six-player game for players with rating (maximum of teams and <abbr title="matchmaker">MM</abbr>) below 1600.
