The glitch was patched on 1.03a update and for 4/11/19 we should have official lobbies already.

I'm creating this guide based on my experience.
THIS MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU.
Keep in mind that this is a glitch and is very unstable due to it not being a final game feature.

Performance here is different than in normal ranked mode, i think that is becuse the framerate is locked at 60, so you may experience slowdowns if either your pc or your oponnent's can't mantain the target framerate.

First of all, one of your friends needs to be searching for a match wether in ranked or training mode in order for steam to display the "Join Game" option.



If you try to join you'll get a joining message


And maybe fails to join

What i did (i'm serious) is simply mash the "Join Game" button on steam.
This can take a random number of tries, maybe just a couple of tries or several minutes.
Be patient and try until you make it into a lobby.


A very buggy one, as you may have already noticed.

Now leave the lobby.

And here you can search or create your own lobby.

Now all you have to do is invite your friends and play.

It works almost perfectly.

You can also search for some lobbies, but maybe you won't be able to find any since there is not a lot of people doing this.

I have noticed some issues though, like preformance drops, names displaying twice and the game crashing sometimes.

If you know a more efficient way to create a lobby tell me in the comments so i can update this guide.
Same if you're having some issues.
