# Setting Up Your Player Profile

> Complete your player profile so team managers can find you and staff can verify your identity.

Your player profile is your public identity on the platform. A complete profile helps team managers find you, lets staff verify your eligibility, and shows your match history to opponents.

***

## First-time profile setup

When you first log in, you'll be prompted to complete your profile at [c3esports.com/profile/setup](https://c3esports.com/profile/setup). You can also access it any time via **Profile → Edit**.

***

## Required fields

### Display name

Your in-game name or tag as it will appear throughout the platform — on your team's roster page, match pages, and standings. Choose the name you use in Rocket League.

### Epic Games username

Your Rocket League account name (Rocket League uses Epic Games accounts). This is used by staff to verify your in-game identity and by replay parsing to match scoreboard data to your profile.

<Tip>
  Your Epic Games username is visible in the Rocket League main menu under your avatar. It may differ from your display name.
</Tip>

***

## Recommended fields

### Profile photo

Upload a profile picture (JPEG or PNG, square recommended). This appears next to your name across the platform.

### Discord username

Your Discord handle (e.g. `username#0000` or the newer `@username`). Populated automatically if you signed up with Discord.

### Bio

A short description of yourself — optional, appears on your public profile page.

***

## Connecting additional game accounts

Under **Profile → Edit → Connected Accounts** you can link:

* **Discord** — required for match participation (see [Linking Discord](/getting-started/linking-discord))
* **Steam** — optional, used for identity verification
* **Epic Games** — required, OAuth link

## Editing your profile later

Go to [c3esports.com/profile/edit](https://c3esports.com/profile/edit) at any time to update your display name, photo, bio, or connected accounts.

<Warning>
  Changing your display name mid-season may cause confusion for opponents and staff. If you need to change it, let your team manager know.
</Warning>

## Next steps

Once your profile is set up and your `.edu` is verified, you're ready to compete:

* **Join a team** — Ask a team manager to add you to their roster, or [create your own team](/managers/creating-a-team).
* **Browse the current season** — View active divisions and standings at [c3esports.com/seasons](https://c3esports.com/seasons).
