6-Mans Queue - Solo Competitive 3v3

The 6-Mans queue is the 3v3 version of solo competitive play. Six individual players are gathered, split into two balanced teams of three, and play a ranked 3v3. It is a faster, tighter format than 10-Mans, with its own ladder.

How You Enter

You can join 6-Mans on your own, or invite friends and queue together as a party of up to three players. A party always lands on the same team. Your region is auto-detected from your profile and the queue is region-locked. 6-Mans has no crossplay-code or Discord requirement to join.

Positions

6-Mans requires a position pick, but the 3v3 template needs fewer roles than 5v5: one Goalkeeper (GK), one Last Man (the defender who holds the back), and one Striker (ST), the main attacker. All-Rounder is the flexible role - if a team is short one of the required roles, an All-Rounder is slotted in to fill it. The matchmaker balances both teams by rating and roles.

Ready Check

When six players are gathered the system forms two rating-balanced teams of three and starts a 30-second ready check. If everyone accepts, the match is created; if anyone declines or times out, the match is cancelled and the rest return to the queue.

Lobby and Result

A random player on each team is made captain. One captain hosts a custom Rematch lobby and shares the lobby code through the match interface. After the game, captains report the result with a screenshot. Both sides agreeing finalizes the series; no response within the verification window auto-accepts the result; a disagreement opens a dispute.

ELO Impact

6-Mans uses a dedicated 6-Mans ELO, its own ladder separate from your 10-Mans Ranked ELO and your team's Tournament ELO. Your 3v3 results only ever move your 6-Mans rating, so the 3v3 and 5v5 ladders stay independent.
