About 3v3 Rush
Rush is a 3v3 mode where both teams fight through a chain of arenas inside one map, Complex. Each round is played in a single room. Win it and the fight moves one room closer to the enemy castle.
DuelRush runs Rush on its own dedicated servers with Valve's round rules. In Valve's matchmaking the rooms are drawn at random when the map loads. We added our own room veto so a match never hinges on a lucky draw: both teams ban and pick the rooms before the server starts, and each team's picks sit next to its own castle.
Queue alone or with up to two friends, and the matchmaker fills your team from the solo queue.

Questions
- How does a Rush round work?
- Eliminate the enemy team or control the tower until time runs out to win the round. The next round moves one room toward the losing team's castle.
- How do you win a Rush match?
- Win 8 rounds, or win a round inside the enemy castle. A match lasts at most 15 rounds, and the Convoy room decides it at 7 to 7.
- Can I pick the Rush arenas?
- Yes. Valve's matchmaking draws the rooms at random, so we built a room veto instead. One team picks its side, then both teams ban and pick mid rooms and the last team picks the start room. Your picks sit next to your own castle, so you defend on rooms you chose.
- Do I need a full team?
- No. Queue alone, as a duo or as a trio. Missing spots are filled from the solo queue.
- Can I try Rush without signing up?
- Yes. Our warm-up server runs non-stop 3v3 Rush with a new room every round, open to anyone with CS2. Every round there is rated, and signing in with Steam keeps the rating you earned.
