Pick Teams, Private Rooms + Resume (v1.23.589.a)

Calling all Ballstars!

New Features

  • Pick Your Teams Pick teams before the match starts. Play as friends or foes, you decide! Players that don't choose a team before the match starts are auto assigned by skill.
  • Private Room Shuttle Create a private room in the party shuttle by selecting the "Private" button. This allows only players in the party shuttle at room creation to play in the room.
