Posting ‘looking for teammates’ is easy, but it gives another player almost nothing to decide on. A useful LFG post combines a few practical details—game, platform, region, schedule, and goal—in language that sounds like a real invitation rather than a job advert.
The 15 examples below are ready to adapt. Replace every bracketed detail with information that is true for you. Leaving in a rank, schedule, or voice-chat preference that does not fit may generate replies, but it will not help you build the right group.
What should a good LFG post include?
Treat the post as a small session plan. A reader should quickly understand what you will play, where you play, when you are available, and what kind of teammate would fit. Your address, school, workplace, phone number, and other offline identity details do not belong in an LFG post.
- Game, mode, and platform
- Server or region
- Rank, role, or experience
- Active days and time zone
- Voice-chat preference
- One session or a recurring team
1–3. Ranked duo post examples
1. Valorant: ‘Gold–Platinum Controller on EU/Frankfurt. Looking for a calm, regular duo for two or three ranked games on weekdays, 20:30–23:00 CET. Reply with your main role and available days.’
2. League of Legends: ‘Gold Support on EUW looking for an ADC or Jungle duo on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I want to improve without blaming teammates after losses; short post-game reviews are welcome.’
3. General ranked: ‘I play [role] at [rank] in [game]. Looking for a regular duo during [days/hours]. Voice chat is [preference], and my goal is [climb/improve]. Let’s treat the first three games as a compatibility check.’
4–6. Squad and open-role examples
4. PUBG Mobile: ‘We are three players on Europe and need a fourth for Classic squad around 21:00 on weekends. Looking for someone near [rank] who uses voice and shares loot and rotation calls.’
5. CS2: ‘Four-player Premier team looking for someone comfortable with support/anchor. [Rating range], weekday evenings, English comms. We will play two games first and see how the team rhythm feels.’
6. General squad: ‘We are [number] players for [game/mode] and need a [role]. Platform [platform], server [server], starting [day/time]. This is a [one-off/recurring] group with a [casual/competitive] approach.’
10–12. Co-op, raid, and long-term group posts
10. Story co-op: ‘Looking for a co-op partner to start [game] from the beginning on Saturday at [time] for roughly [duration]. I want to explore without spoilers or rushing every objective.’
11. MMO raid: ‘We are a [group size] team recruiting a [role] for [game/raid]. [Experience/level], [days and time zone]. We use guides and expect advance notice if someone cannot attend.’
12. Survival world: ‘Starting a long-term [game] world focused on building and exploration. No griefing. Looking for players active [number] evenings a week who can follow shared resource rules.’
13–15. Mobile, cross-play, and community posts
13. Mobile: ‘Looking for [mobile game] teammates at [server/rank]. Android/iOS, [days/hours]. Voice [on/off]; I prefer a few in-app games before sharing personal contact details.’
14. Cross-play: ‘I play [game] on [platform] with cross-play enabled. Looking for [compatible platforms] players for [mode]. We will use in-game voice; region [region], time [time zone].’
15. Small community: ‘Building a small group for [games], active in [time zone] evenings. We care more about reliable participation and respectful communication than a large member count. Tell us what you play and which days work.’
Mistakes to avoid when customizing a template
Do not combine all 15 examples into one post. Choose the closest scenario and reduce it to two or three clear sentences. Replace subjective demands such as ‘good players only’ or ‘no toxic people’ with observable expectations: arriving at the agreed time, using voice, or discussing losses without insults.
Never share precise location, account credentials, recovery codes, or unknown file links. Keep the first conversation and plan inside the platform when possible, and use blocking and reporting controls when someone ignores a boundary.
Turn an LFG post into a MateUp profile
One-off posts quickly move down a busy feed. A current MateUp profile can keep your games, platform, language, active hours, and playstyle visible without rewriting the same introduction for every search.
In the first message, reference the shared game and suggest a specific mode and time rather than pasting the entire template again. Download MateUp from the App Store or Google Play and adapt one of these examples for your profile bio.
