Scrim: Team Practices in Competitive Gaming

What is a Scrim?

Scrims are practice matches in competitive gaming.

Teams hold them to refine strategies, test out new tactics, and gauge their skills against other teams. Contrary to public matches, scrims take place in a private setting.

Scrimmage Origin

The term "scrimmage" stems from American football and basketball.

The word refers to a practice game played under game conditions but without the formality of an official game. In gaming, "scrim" is a shortened version of scrimmage used to describe practice matches.
