When two players keep ending up on opposite teams, that’s a rivalry. The site records who won each of those matches. On a player page, “Rivals” shows their nemesis (the opponent they lose to most) and their favourite victim (the one they beat most), from opponents they’ve met in 3 or more matches. You can also put any two players side by side on the compare page.
How rivalries are counted
- After every team match with real players on both sides, each player on red is paired with each player on blue.
- For each pair, the site counts the matches they played against each other and whose team won.
- Uneven game types, like hide-and-seek modes, are left out.
Nemesis and favourite victim
- Nemesis
- Of the opponents you’ve faced in 3 or more matches, the one whose team has beaten yours by the biggest margin.
- Favourite victim
- Of the same opponents, the one your team has beaten by the biggest margin.
Each shows a head-to-head record, such as 7–3. Beat the same opponent in 10 matches and you unlock the ⚔️ Nemesis achievement.
The rivalries page
The rivalries page lists the most-played rivalries on the site: the two players, how many games they’ve played against each other, the record and when they last met.

Questions
Why don’t I have a nemesis?
You need 3 or more matches against the same opponent, and to have lost more of them than you won.
Does the score in the match matter?
No, only which team won. Rivalries are about results, not who scored the most.
