Strikers Club Custom Games & Lobbies

Host Strikers Club custom games: private lobbies, passwords, region filters, 1v1 to 11v11 formats, and spectator slots.

Custom Games Overview

Custom lobbies let friends scrim without public matchmaking chaos. Oddshot supports formats from 1v1 duels through 11v11 and 5v5 squad practice. v0.75.0 added search and region filters; v0.78.0 improved password popups; only the lobby admin changes Single Keeper settings per patch notes.

Hosting a Lobby

  1. Open custom games browser from main menu.
  2. Set format, password, and region—filter for lower ping scrims.
  3. Invite Steam friends or share password in Discord.
  4. Assign positions before server start—v0.75.0 fixed capacity calculation bugs.

Four extra spectator slots (v0.75.0) let coaches observe without joining teams. Mercy rule disabled in customs by default until configurable setting ships (v0.82.0).

Custom vs Matchmaking

Custom games skip SBMM from v0.79.0—ideal for training Maestro chains or penalty scenarios. Matchmaking records abandons as losses; customs offer controlled rematch culture for squad improvement.
