Parties & friends

When you're signed in, a Party panel sits in the bottom-right of every page. You always occupy the first slot. Empty slots are invites — click one to open your friends list.

Search for a player by in-game or Discord name and send a friend request. They accept from the same panel. The squad splits into online and offline, and those labels update as friends open or leave CDSL. A friend stays online while they have the site open, including in another tab. Friends can be invited into your party (up to 4, matching a 4v4 roster). Invites use the same division table as matchmaking, and a player with no 4v4 SR yet counts as Bronze. Iridescent and Top 250 parties are capped at two players. Only the party leader can kick; anyone can leave. If the leader leaves, the longest-sitting member becomes leader.

Chat is three separate threads: Private (one conversation per friend pair, history kept), Party (unique to that party — if you leave, it disappears from your dock; the log stays saved for the party), and Game (the current match lobby, separate from both). None of them mix.

Parties are for grouping up and talking. Queue and challenges are still region-locked per player; bringing a full party into a match as one unit is a later step.
