Creating a Squad

Set up your gaming community hub with a custom profile and invite your team.

What is a Squad?

A Squad is your gaming community's home on ReadyRaider. It can represent:

  • A competitive esports team
  • An MMO guild or clan
  • A group of gaming friends
  • A content creator community
  • Any gaming group that wants to organize together

Step 1: Start Creating

Navigate to the Squads page and click "Create Squad". You can also create squads from your Dashboard.

Step 2: Basic Information

Squad Name

Choose a memorable name for your squad. This is how others will find and recognize you.

Tag/Abbreviation

A short tag (2-5 characters) displayed next to your squad name. Example: [TSM], [C9], [FaZe]

Description

Tell others about your squad—what games you play, your goals, your vibe, etc.

Avatar & Banner

Upload your squad logo (avatar) and a header banner image to personalize your page.
