Nope! :D Queues only. Also, you don't know how many other players are queued/searching or have matched with you. Also, there's truthfully nothing to do on the menu while you wait except tab out or browse [your favorite media outlet]. Also, it sometimes takes like 2-3 minutes for a match to start after load where you just run in circles during warmup. Also, the random/limited map options means you end up playing the same maps over and over again in a single session. Also, there's no backfilling or auto-balance so if you lose a player you typically just lose the game outright. Also, there's no way to swap teams or move to spectate. Also, there's no first-person spectating in any public match-made mode. Also, when a game ends you get booted to the menu despite already being matched with 7 other ready-to-go players. Also, if you close the (limited information) scoreboard then you can't review that info ever again. Also, there's no in-sim recording despite this franchise literally being the first to pioneer it... including most of the other quality of life features I just listed which Champions is somehow lacking. :D I love this game, but... as a piece of software... it sucks. EDIT: Sorry for the negative "list of grievances" but man I just wish this game were better in ways that really have nothing to do with the play itself. Just saying.
So they're both rated 1300 and they get matched with two of the best players in the world? Was this matchmaking or did they all know each other prior to the game?
This is just the result of Quake Champions having a small playerbase. The smaller the playerbase the least players you have to be matched against so QC just matches you against the players it can find at time of queue.
