It’s 7PM, time to get online! Finding strong practice opponents is different for each team. How serious do you plan to be? How many nights a week can your team get online? Do you plan to participate in live events, or just online? Here’s what you need to do to find practice opponents…

1. Find teammates who want to practice and make sure you can free up your schedules at the same time. Obviously, if you have even one squadmate that can’t make it online when the rest of your can, it’s not going to work!

2. Hit up the MLG Customs, Scrims and LANs forum to link up with like-minded individuals. Once you become active in the scrimmage community you’ll have no problem getting games.


3. When you find the right teammates AND the right opponents, stick with them. Once you have a team ready to practice, try to stick with them if the chemistry is there. Likewise, if you find a consistent practice opponent, try to set up weekly customs. Consistency is key to steady improvement.

4. Be patient. You’re not going to play pro teams right away and you don’t want to, they’ll mop the floor with you! If you stay active in the MLG customs community, the team will start to improve and eventually you’ll find yourself playing increasingly better opponents.
