Frequently asked questions

Plausible LFG is a Discord bot and connected network that helps competitive CS2 and PUBG players form squads on verified skill instead of self-reported ranks. It pulls live stats from official game APIs, matches players on skill, region, language and playstyle, and spins up voice rooms automatically. See how the bot works.

LFG stands for Looking For Group — finding other players to team up with. Plausible focuses on competitive LFG, where the quality of your teammates decides whether a session is good. Requiring alignment on playstyle, skill, region and language. The Plausible LFG Network delivers data driven insights so you can align your group.

Install the bot in your Discord server (1 click), link your PUBG or CS2 account through the official integration (3 clicks), confirm your verified profile, set your region and language, then host or join a squad. The account link is what lets the bot show real, live stats instead of a typed-in rank.

About ten minutes. Installing the bot is one click and 8 minutes of choosing your preferences. Users link their game account is three clicks. There's no rank form to fill in and no manual configuration before you can play.

No. The bot installs inside your existing Discord server and your members stay there. The LFG Network broadcast brings a larger verified player pool to you, rather than pulling your players out into a central hub. The LFG channel is controlled by the Plausible LFG Discord Bot, which makes the LFG channel the central hub, viewable by all communities with our Discord Bot.

Your stats come directly from the game operator via an official API, not from a rank you typed in yourself. No inflation, no guesswork — squads are built on actual authoritative live data.

Through official API integrations — KRAFTON for PUBG (ADR, KD, win rate, rank), FACEIT for CS2 (live rank, ELO, match data), LEETIFY for CS2 Premier (live ELO rating). The data comes straight from the games' own systems, so it's verified and never self-reported.

Through the official FACEIT API. Your live FACEIT rank, ELO and match data are pulled from FACEIT's own systems and shown on your profile. Through the official LEETIFY API we pull your live Premier rating.

Through the official KRAFTON API. Your ADR, KD, win rate and rank are pulled live from PUBG's own systems and shown on your profile.

Who you match with is up to you. Match on verified stats, language, region, and playstyle. Build your ideal squad from the network of verified players.

For competitive CS2, Plausible LFG is purpose-built for the niche because it verifies skill through the official FACEIT API and LEETIFY API — live rank, ELO and match data rather than self-reported profiles. See the full LFG bot comparison.

For competitive PUBG, Plausible LFG verifies stats through the official KRAFTON API, so ADR, KD, win rate and rank are real and live rather than claimed. Matching then uses that verified skill alongside region, language and playstyle. See the full LFG bot comparison.

Toxicity is driven by skill mismatch — and research shows it comes more from your own teammates than the other team. Matching on real, verified data builds squads that play better together and removes a common trigger for frustration and blame.

The Plausible LFG Network is a set of connected Discord servers that feature a shared Plausible LFG channel that acts as the centralized LFG hub for all communities. Each server installs the bot once and can broadcast squad requests across the whole network, so members reach far more verified players without leaving their own community.

When you host or search for a squad, the bot creates a LFG embed — complete with users in-game name, rank and stats. The Plausible LFG bot controls the posts in the LFG channel and posts your LFG embed in your server, and every other server in the network. It's opt-in per server, and every profile in the pool is verified the same way.

A single server only has so many people online at once. By drawing from the whole network, a smaller CS2 or PUBG community punches far above its own headcount, off-peak hours stop being dead hours, and a wider net doesn't mean lower quality because every profile is verified.

No — and that's by design. Plausible installs as a bot inside your existing server(s) and connects to a shared verified network. Your members stay in the community they already belong to while reaching a larger verified player pool. It strengthens your server instead of pulling players into a central hub.

Install the Plausible bot in your server and connect it to the network during Early Access. Once connected, your community can appear in the Browse Communities (coming soon) directory, where players filter by game, size, language and region. Listing is part of joining — there's no separate application.

Competitive communities become places people return to for the people, not just the game. Reliable, verified LFG keeps good games happening inside your server, which is what keeps members coming back and retention healthy. More in reviving LFG for communities.

Neither. Micro communities under 500 members use core LFG free forever, and the network is what lets small servers reach a big player pool. Larger, multi-title communities pick a paid tier for extra tooling, but every size gets verified matching.

PUBG and CS2 are live now via official APIs, with community-voted expansion underway for other competitive titles. See results and vote here.

For now, yes — verified support is live for CS2 (FACEIT) and PUBG (KRAFTON), because depth in the competitive niche matters more than broad, shallow coverage.

Plausible is available worldwide. Matching uses your region — such as NA, EU, SEA, OCE and others — to keep latency sane and playtimes overlapping, and your preferred language so squads can actually communicate. You set both when you create your profile, and communities on the network span many regions and languages.

Early Access members vote inside the Discord and on the official title ballot. We go deep before we go wide — dialing in each title before adding more — and the community picks what comes next. The live tally is published on our homepage.

When a squad forms, the bot automatically creates a voice room for it — private (squad-only) or open — routes everyone in, and cleans the room up when you're done. No manual channel setup and no leftover clutter. For private squads, hosts control who is in the squad via a control panel in their direct messages.

The biggest lever is player choice, augmented with verified skill data, which prevents the skill mismatches that drive most toxicity. On higher tiers, anti-toxicity tooling and AI moderation across community channels and ticket tools add another layer on top of good matching to keep squad spaces healthier.

Yes — core LFG features are free forever for players and small communities under 500 members. Early Access is locked free for founding communities, with paid tiers arriving later for larger, multi-title servers.

After Early Access: Community is $9/month per server for a single title over 500 members; Pro is $50/month per server for all titles plus tournament hosting; Studio is a custom partnership for game studios and tournament platforms. Core LFG stays free for players and micro communities. See the full pricing breakdown.

No. Early Access requires no credit card, and Early Access members lock in free access for life as founding communities — no matter how big their community later gets.

Core LFG stays free forever for players and communities under 500 members. Paid tiers launch after Early Access for larger servers, but anyone who joins during Early Access keeps free access for life as a founding community.

Core LFG is free, so there's nothing to cancel to keep using it. Paid tiers are month-to-month with no long-term contract — you can cancel anytime and keep access through the end of your billing period. For any billing question, reach out through the support Discord.

Only your public competitive stats from the official API — for PUBG that's ADR, KD, win rate and rank via KRAFTON; for CS2 that's rank, ELO and match data via FACEIT and LEETIFY. Linking authorizes Plausible to read those stats; it does not give Plausible your game password.

Yes. Account linking uses the official integration, so you authorize read access to your stats rather than handing over credentials. Plausible reads the performance data needed to build your verified profile and match you fairly.

No. The integration is read-only for your stats. Plausible displays your verified profile and uses it for matching — it doesn't play your games, change your account, or post as you in the game.

Yes. You can unlink your game account at any time, which stops Plausible from reading further stats. To remove your profile data, reach out through the support Discord and we'll handle the request.
