How To Play: Your team and your opponents will join the same custom game private lobby as a squad (5v5) and compete to be the first team to 13 rounds. After each game, record your score on the Drop-In Gaming match. Players will play one series to 13 rounds and the winner will be the first team to 13. You must win by 2 rounds in order to be the champion of the series. Example: If one team is up 13-12 that game is not over. The players must keep playing sudden death rounds until one team wins by 2 rounds.
