• Playtest Update - 26 June 2026

  AI Opponents Are Here We know braverBOTs does not always have enough players online to make finding a match easy. AI opponents are our first step toward making sure you can still jump into a real match, test teams, learn bots, and play on your own schedule while the player base grows.
