How do you host with observers?

If you create a custom game there's like no option to choose observers, I don't get how people like zotac cup did it. Also couldn't find search results.

I'm curious about this too seeing as there aren't obs maps or any way to make on ums settings that I know of.

When the host right-clicks a player's name, they can choose to make them a spectator/referee. Spectators can only talk to other spectators and referees can chat to the players.

Moreover, if it's a 2 player map, when you add a 3rd player he'll automatically become an observer.

If it's a 4 player map, then the host needs to right click the name to make the guy an observer, as specified above (or change it to 1v1 mode--at which point the extras automatically become observers).

First, there are settings on the right when you make a game. You can change it to 1v1, 2v2 or FFA.

Second, if the game is full, and to add Obs, open your friends list and "Invite to Game". That will automatically open the Obs spots.

Referee / obs slots will be really good when game is released =)

it's not hard once you know but it can be confusing first time trying to host obs and not finding anything.

If you are in a party that is 3 or greater you cant host on 2 player maps... So you keep the party as 2 people. Host on the map u want than right click on the avatar of who u want to bring in and click "invite to game"
Repeat process until everyone is in and lag is high

I almost never make this kind of comment, but seriously, this is really not a problem. Make a game, invite 3 or 4 people, click and drag even to observers.
Anyone reading this should not worry about this aspect of the interface. It's really not a problem.

As azz said, make a robo xD, just kidding, use the invite button and if there is more players than the map can handle they will automatically become observers
