Planet9 is a social platform designed to help gamers find teammates who have similar skill levels and motivations. It also helps to motivate players to improve by providing them with feedback about their performance.

"Planet 9 is a community-oriented platform designed to give gamers everywhere a chance to interact and learn from each other. It is intended to be a social platform that caters to multiple audiences: those looking to improve are introduced to similarly skilled teammates and opponents, likewise, those just looking to chat and enjoy themselves can meet other casual players," said Andrew Chuang, AVP, Esports Services, IT Products Business, Acer Inc.

"Acer hopes to create a positive environment where everybody is connected by a passion for gaming, to form tight bonds with players and also offer more ambitious players an environment where they can prepare for the pro scene."

Planet9 was designed to bring different esports communities together in one place, and a major part of the platform is effectively managing and integrating these communities. The platform will help users to find teammates based on a variety of factors such as game type, skill level and time zone. It also gathers and records a wide variety of data such as score, pathing, K/D ratio and death location, providing coaches and managers information they can use to help guide their players.

Previously available only to the pros, Planet9 is the only system in the world that provides players of all levels with in depth statistics – about both personal and team performance – regardless of skill level. The platform is designed to allow all players to make data-backed decisions about how to improve, what weak areas they should try to cover and what strengths they should capitalize upon.

Planet9 aims to provide a secure, closed platform where teams can meet to discuss strategy and managers can more easily organize match scheduling.

Players who join Planet9 from December 1 to December 31 will receive an invite code they can share with others to becomes teammates. Invite codes can be shared with otherplayers, and anyone who invites at least one other person to join a team will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win gaming accessories and Predator devices.
