Cool! Now one can not only spend hours playing online games, but also find useful connections!

Amazing idea! How much time does it take on average to find a teammates on your platform?
@nikolay_golos Thanks! The time it takes to find teammates depends on a few factors: the game you’re playing, your availability settings, and how many members are online at that moment. With /playwrk schedule and /playwrk browse, you can either join existing games instantly or schedule one for a specific time and get matched with the right people. Plus, Discord DM notifications ensure you’re quickly connected with players who match your preferences. For popular games, finding teammates can be almost instant after you've joined, while for more niche ones, it might take a bit longer.

Will there be an option to sync schedules with calendar apps?
@polimlnk yes, Playwrk already has an option to add Playwrks to your calendar through /playwrk schedule. Once you schedule a gaming session, you can add it to your Google Calendar or Outlook to make sure you never miss a match.
Finally, a place for a comfortable gaming experience!
@andrey_mironov Exactly! We’re excited for you to experience it! 😊
Networking through shared experiences is truly the best way to connect, but connecting with like-minded professionals through gaming? That’s a game-changer! 🚀 Love the concept — gaming isn’t just fun, it’s a powerful way to bond. Huge congrats on the launch!👏
@kirill_pigorev Thank you so much! 🙌 We're thrilled you love the concept!
@kirill_pigorev thanks, Kirill!
Love the idea of combining gaming with networking! Huge congrats with the launch 🚀
Curious: how do you ensure quality matchmaking between players of different skill levels and backgrounds?
@yuliya_fomina Thanks for the great question! While skill matchmaking isn’t our main focus, Playwrk is all about professional matchmaking. We prioritize connecting like-minded professionals based on your industry, work style, and networking goals, rather than just skill level.
This is such a cool concept! How do you handle matchmaking for different skill levels—can I avoid getting wrecked by pros if I just want a casual session? 😅
@pauelt We don’t focus too much on skill level — Playwrk is all about the vibe and connecting with others, not about being the best or worst player :)
@pauelt good comment! Right now, we're not focused on skill-based matching, as we're focused on connecting you professionally & personally with relevant people! But def something we're considering for future releases - to split the experience for newbies and pros!
Many times my fellow founders and I agreed on that:
“you should truly know your future partner through a padel / tennis match before any partnership”
So you could see, is he game enough, how he behave when he wins and when he loses, is it just fun to be in a game together?
And it is sometime much more simple to set a match in gaming
But I think that an entrepreneur is also a really best possible teammate for another entrepreneur while playing video games
That’s a specific mindset, which you sometimes want everybody in the world to have
So Playwrk can be a good opportunity to have another layer for interaction with people you like and understand most — founders
@pavel_eksler I couldn’t agree more! The idea of testing partnerships in a game is spot on. Whether it’s tennis, padel, or any competitive sport, you get to see how someone handles pressure, wins, losses, and, most importantly, their mindset. And with Playwrk, we bring that dynamic to a digital space where founders and entrepreneurs can test out their chemistry in a more accessible and relaxed environment - even no court required! :)

As an avid gamer who spends hours playing CS2 and Valorant, I've finally found a justification for my 'addiction'! Playwrk has transformed my gaming sessions into opportunities to meet cool people from tech and business.
Yesterday I was battling in Apex with a fintech startup CEO, and a week ago I met a creative director during a match in CS2. No awkwardness — just gaming and natural communication.
@nikolay_mokhnachev1 thanks Nikolay, hopefully, many more games & connections to come!
