Creating a Team

PRO required

Creating a team requires a CS2.TEAM PRO subscription. A player can own one team and be on at most 5 teams in total.

Getting Started​

Go to cs2.team/create and provide:

  • Team Name — 3–30 characters
  • Team Tag — 2–5 alphanumeric characters, shown alongside your team name (e.g. NAVI, FAZE)
  • Bio — optional, up to 2,000 characters

Your team gets its own page at cs2.team/your-team (the URL is generated from your name and can be customised later), and a recruitment ad goes live on the Team Finder immediately — you can edit or close it right after creation.

Everything else is managed from your team's admin area at cs2.team/your-team/admin:

  • Settings — name, tag, bio, custom URL, country, visibility (public/private), Discord invite, website, Steam group
  • Branding — upload a logo (up to 5 MB) and banner (up to 8 MB); PNG, JPEG, or WebP
  • Recruitment — your ad's open roles, requirements, and open/closed status
  • Members — your roster
  • Applications — your inbox of incoming applicants
Custom URL

Your team URL can be changed from team settings — lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, 3–30 characters. Changes are limited to once every 14 days, and route names like pro or settings are reserved.

Recruitment​

Your Ad​

Your recruitment ad is what players see on the Team Finder and on your apply page. From Admin → Recruitment you control:

  • Open roles — which of the seven CS2 positions you need (Entry, AWP, IGL, Lurker, Rifler, Support, Coach)
  • Requirements — optional gates you expect applicants to meet: Premier rating range, FACEIT level range (1–10), minimum hours played, region, country, and up to 10 accepted languages
  • Playstyle — Competitive, Casual, or both
  • Status — set the ad to Closed when your roster is full; reopen it any time

Requirements are shown to applicants alongside their own synced stats, so expect applications that actually match.

Application Inbox​

Incoming applications appear in Admin → Applications, with each applicant's profile, stats, roles, and message. Accept to add them straight to your roster, or Reject (optionally with a reason). Rejected players can re-apply after 14 days.

Applicant limits

Teams owned by a free account can receive up to 50 applicants in total across the ad's lifetime. PRO owners have no limit.

Bumping Your Ad​

Ads are ordered by recency, so older ads drift down the board. As a PRO owner you can Bump your ad once every 24 hours to push it back to the top. Consecutive daily bumps build a streak shown on your ad.

Managing Your Roster​

A team roster holds up to 5 active members. The owner can:

  • Assign in-game roles — give each member one CS2 role (Rifler, AWP, IGL, etc.), shown on your team page so players can see which positions are filled
  • Remove members — owner-only, from Admin → Members

Members can leave a team at any time from the team page. As the owner you can't leave your own team.

Visibility​

  • Public teams have a browsable team page at their URL.
  • Private teams are hidden from visitors — useful while you're setting things up.

Your ad only appears on the Team Finder while its status is Open.
