CSL player guide

How to Join Competitive Rust Scrims

Start with one public identity that connects the website, Discord and the Rust hubs. Once the setup gates are complete, you can join a roster, build a party and compete.

Link the required accounts

Sign in with Steam, complete the Discord join flow and choose a unique public CSL username. Your private platform identifiers are not used as your public profile name.

Accept the regulations

Every player accepts the current rules before using competition features. Read them before joining a roster: they cover eligibility, conduct, evidence and match disputes.

Join or create a clan

Official rosters support up to 25 members. Founders and scrim leaders organize the side that enters a queue or tournament.

Prepare for the hub

Complete any required playtime and anti-cheat checks before match day. The queue cannot fix an eligibility issue after an opponent has already been found.
