fixedA whole new matchmaking experience with no idle waitingYou know how it can be boring to sit around waiting for an online opponent? We do. We fixed it! Now you can be searching for a match in passive mode, while doing something else. BOID will give you an estimated waiting time, and you can do whatever you want - play a match with bots, design a map, browse the leagues, etc. Your actions will get paused when you find an opponent, and you can return to what you were doing after the match is over. Neat, am I right?
