Now warring I think I understand and pubbing is understandable too but what does scrim actually mean??

I came from cs and we never used terms like that....thanks in advance.

US players call it a scrim.

Euro players call it a PCW or Practice Clan War.


Competitive gaming is sort of like: Pubs (Public games) -> Pugs (Pick up games) -> Scrims/PCW (Practice matches) -> Match/CW (The important stuff)

so.. are the passworded forum rooms pubs? or pugs?

and if fthey are pubs, what is a pug?

Okay, here goes:
Pub = Public Game. A game open for anyone to play, regardless if you know them.
Locked Pub = Locked Public Game. A game open for any player that has the password to the room. Some players can guess at your password if it is easy.
Pug = Pick Up Game. A game which is usually hosted on Ventrilo. It consists of captains, picking players just like a pick up game in your average gym class.
Draft = Draft Games. A whole bunch of games going on in a mini tournament fashion, using Pug team picking styles.
Scrim = Scrimmage/Scrim. A clan battle, usually in Clan channel.
Clan War = Clan War, warring. An important clan battle, for example, WOGL games.

If anything is wrong, feel free to correct me.
