1 - Join a Scrim group

What you need to do first is to join a scrim group. A scrim group regroups multiple teams and allows every member to see the scrims of everyone else. A group can either be public or private ( to join a private group you need to send an application).
So go to the group tab, then select your game, region and join a group.
