Starcraft 2 Ladder games 3v3?

You cannot start a 3v3 or 4v4 while you are still in practice league (but you can still play in one!).

Either have someone else create (right-click their portrait and choose 'set as party leader'), or press the "skip" button to remove yourself from the practice league (once removed you cannot rejoin it).


You are ranked separately in your 3v3 from your ranking in 1v1. What's more if you have a full team (which in 3v3 is a party of 3) then that ranking is separate from all others.

However, if you have a less than full team, your ranking will be 3s Random (which means 3v3 with at least 1 member being random), and is separate from any full team ranking.

For example you can have:

  • 1s: Diamond 30
  • 2 Random: Diamond 50
  • 2s tzenes and McKay: Diamond 20
  • 2s tzenes and BlueRaja: Gold 2
  • 3 Random: Plat 10
  • 3s tzenes, McKay, BlueRaja: Gold 20

All of these ranks are seperate, but if I play a 3s game with just McKay and I that contributes to my 3 Random ranking.

To start a match in 3v3 by yourself you would would select the 3v3 button on the multiplayer screen (here is an image I'll find a better one when I get home):
