You will find the giant buttons when you need them. Support: Players will have access to our support. If you have any problems during a tournament, use the support page.

Otherwise rematch. Payouts are via Paypal only. International bank transfer is possible but it can be really expensive. We always pay out on the same day, if you provide us with a paypal address NEW and subject to change: If a match is in a draw situation by the headreferees opinion, he can start a 15 ingame minute countdown, while trying to notify the players. If after that time nothing has drastically changed, both players will be removed from the current tournament. If both players cannot be notified then the 75 ingame minute might be the deadline.

Observers:
Observers are only allowed when both players agree. Referees / Gamecasters are always allowed. If one or more player(s) complain about lag during a running game, everybody except the main livestreamer will have to leave the game instantly. Selected livestreams are granted a wildcard per tournament to turn a BO1 into BO3. Needs to be verified by a referee. Follow instructions of the streamers regarding chat.
