The website says that you'll need to supply proof of your win in the form of a screenshot...does anyone know how to accomplish that without a capture device? Or, if you needed to take a picture of the screen, what would you take a picture of if the opponent left the match before it said who won?

[Krayzie]

How do you know who you're supposed to play?

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

[GNG Iniquity]

Ugh, why're they doing this online? Newegg is awesome and I buy everything I can from them, due to the no taxes + free shipping alone, but online? C'mon.

 

[TeeKay]

Wednesday? Did I misunderstand the original date or something? Well at least it's tomorrow.

Yea check website they changed it

 

[Korpse]

i don't know if this is a bug but in the spot where i would think an XBLGamertag would go, it put my Username instead, i hope this doesn't become a problem and force me to forfeit matches because i could really use some new PC Shit

 

[zaf]

so i should be getting an email tomorrow then?
Said it will send me an email on how everything is going to work.

 

[Ashenar]

They changed it to the 20th now.

 

[Korpse]

They just sent the Email, i got a bye first round

 

[zaf]

so yea i checked the email too. I can't actually have my match at 9 est tomorrow.
Can i just work out a schedule with whoever i have to play ? or should i just forfeit?

i don't see anything in the rules that says you can't work out a different time, try contacting an admin though, they would help you out

 

[zaf]

yea i just checked out the rules or format pages. one of them said that a time can be scheduled out.
ill open an incident and do this.

 

[FlipinFlava]

So are admins going to make a king of the hill room for the competitors? Looking at the site, you're supposed to take a screenshot of your victory, but that just feels questionable.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

One thing that is bugging the shit out of me is the "best of 5 rounds" how the hell is this possible?

Because the matches have to be hosted in private matches, i think (i will test tonight when i get on) that if you alter your game settings at the main menu to be a FT3 (aka best of 5) and the timer to 99 minutes, if it doesn't happen then, i guess it was a big typo on their part
