Team-finding service TEAMS.gg continues to broaden its services across esports games and has added Overwatch 2 to its portfolio. TEAMS wants to provide players with personalized matching services based on the users' interests. This includes recreational play or competitive esports play, allowing a variety of gamers to find a playstyle that suits them.
In light of the average age of Overwatch 2's player base, TEAMS has also implemented new party search restrictions as a part of its safeguarding policy for young gamers. As a result, its algorithm is now stricter when pairing players under 16 with peers their age.
“When we first launched for CS:GO, our second game, Valorant, took over a year. [...] We have built a scalable platform in the background, so that we can plug in questions and take out questions when we need to, and add new criteria and attributes, and that’s all paying off with this launch for Overwatch 2,” said TEAMS co-founder and CEO James Duffield.
