Dear Develepers, there Forefront chants waiting for an infrastructure to play esport.
if you're worried that private lobbies might take players away from the game, consider this approach: could you program a middle ground? Meaning, all private lobbies automatically open to the public if at least 30 players don't join within 3 minutes of opening. Also, a player who crashes gets a 3 minute ticket to rejoin. Every lobby started as private automatically opens up if it doesn't have at least 30 players (or a more suitable number). Or it just open automatically after a choose period of time (just preserve a rejoin ticket for players who may have technical issues).
