Communities often struggle with coordinating small teams quickly, especially during busy hours. Players jump between text threads, request partners, and bounce in and out of voice without a clean system. This bot removes the friction by creating organized team queues, sharing joinable invites, and spinning up temporary channels once a roster is ready.
- Helps players form complete teams without moderation effort
- Removes clutter from repeated “anyone want to join?” messages
- Keeps matchmaking fair, structured, and consistent across game modes
- Automatically manages channel creation and cleanup
- Encourages more matches through a smoother player experience
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Dynamic Team Creation | Users trigger a new team queue with a command or button. |
| Game & Mode Selection | Supports multiple titles like Valorant, League, CS2, TFT, Fortnite, with selectable modes. |
| Custom Team Naming | Players can label their team for easier visibility. |
| Joinable Roster Message | Bot posts an interactive message allowing others to “Join” instantly. |
| Auto-Completion Logic | Detects when the roster reaches capacity (e.g., 5 players). |
| Temporary Voice Channels | Automatically creates a voice channel dedicated to the newly formed team. |
| Auto-Cleanup | Removes temporary channels when empty or after a timeout. |
| Role & Permission Handling | Grants the correct team members access to the channel. |
| Error Handling | Catches invalid inputs, full rosters, and unavailable channel states. |
| Logging & Activity Reporting | Provides detailed server logs for all matchmaking actions. |
| Scalable Queue System | Supports parallel team formations without interference. |
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| Input or Trigger | A user issues a command or taps a button to start building a team. |
| Core Logic | The bot collects game, mode, and team name details, builds a roster object, and posts a joinable invite. |
| Output or Action | Once the team is full, a temporary voice channel is created and permissions are applied. |
| Other Functionalities | Handles retries, invalid joins, asynchronous channel creation, and logs all steps for transparency. |
| Safety Controls | Includes rate limiting, cooldowns, channel caps, permission checks, and automated cleanup to avoid server clutter. |
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Language | Python |
| Frameworks | discord.py |
| Tools | AsyncIO, Typing modules |
| Infrastructure | Docker, GitHub Actions for CI |

- Gaming communities use it to coordinate small competitive teams so players can jump into matches immediately.
- Esports practice groups use it to keep training sessions organized and running without manual channel setup.
- Multi-game servers use it to manage parallel queues across different titles and modes.
- New players use it to join structured matches without needing to know the server layout.
Does the bot support multiple games at the same time? Yes, each team queue is isolated, allowing parallel creation across any number of supported games.
What happens to the temporary voice channel after the match? Once the channel is empty or a cleanup timer expires, the bot removes it automatically.
Can team size be customized? Absolutely. Configuration files let you adjust roster limits for different modes or games.
What if two teams form simultaneously? The matchmaking logic isolates rosters, assigns unique IDs, and prevents cross-team interference.
Execution Speed: Handles queue creation and channel setup within 300–600 ms under typical Discord latency.
Success Rate: 93–94% successful operations across repeated production test runs with retry logic applied.
Scalability: Capable of managing 50–200 concurrent team queues, depending on server activity and Discord rate limits.
Resource Efficiency: Runs at ~2–4% CPU and <150MB RAM per instance under continuous matchmaking load.
Error Handling: Uses exponential backoff for Discord API retries, structured logs, safe permission rollbacks, and self-healing channel cleanup workflows.
