Finding a Team

The Team Finder is the heart of CS2.TEAM. It has two boards:

  • Teams — recruitment ads from teams with open spots
  • Players — players who are looking, so captains can scout directly

The finder is the front page when you're signed out; once signed in, your home page becomes your dashboard and the finder lives at cs2.team/finder.

Filters​

Narrow either board with filters:

  • Region — Europe West, Europe East, North America, South America, Southeast Asia, Oceania, Africa, China
  • Roles — Entry, AWP, IGL, Lurker, Rifler, Support, Coach
  • Playstyle — Competitive and/or Casual
  • Languages and Country
PRO filters

Advanced filters — CS2 Premier rating range, FACEIT level range, and hours played — are a PRO feature. Free accounts get the basic set above.

Results are ordered by recency — teams that recently created or bumped their ad appear first.

Reading a Recruitment Ad​

Open a team to see its full page: roster and in-game roles, bio, country, links (Discord, website, Steam group), and its recruitment ad with:

  • Open roles — the positions the team wants to fill
  • Requirements — any of: Premier rating range, FACEIT level range, minimum hours played, region, country, languages
  • Playstyle — the vibe the team is recruiting for

Requirements are the team's stated expectations — the apply form will show you how your synced stats compare.

Applying​

  1. Open the team's page and click Apply
  2. Pick the role(s) you're applying for (optional)
  3. Add a short message introducing yourself (optional, up to 2,000 characters)
  4. Submit — the team's owner gets notified

The owner reviews your application and accepts or rejects it. Either way you'll get a notification (the bell in the navigation). If accepted, you're added to the team's roster immediately.

Joining is by application only

There is no instant-join or invite system — every spot on a roster is filled through an application the owner approves. If a team you want to join isn't recruiting, reach out through the contact links on their team page (Discord, website, or Steam group).

Tracking Your Applications​

Your outgoing applications live at cs2.team/applications. From there you can see each application's status and withdraw any that are still pending.

A few rules to be aware of:

  • You can be on at most 5 teams at once (owned + joined)
  • If a team rejects your application, there's a 14-day cooldown before you can re-apply to that team
  • Free teams can hold a limited number of applicants (50 in total) — if applying fails, the team's inbox may be full

Getting Scouted​

Appearing on the Players board is how teams find you. Make sure your profile is complete — roles, playstyle, languages, country — and that your stats are syncing: a profile with a verified Premier rating and FACEIT level gets far more attention than an empty one.
