Thank you for the invite.
I will never be able to get the twitch drops because the stream is starting at 2 am in my timezone...
FIX your hamster servers for your lovely players please. We can't play WT with premiums. It is important than esport.
How do you arrange an "eSports" tournament if most of the stuff in the game doesn't work? MENUes and controlling them with keyboards and mouse is broken since NewPower, multiple crashes since NewPower, maxed out pilot focusing on a plane behind doesn't see an AAM until it spawns 0.02km behind you and instantly kills you bug, helicopters trying to balance an already balanced manuever bug, No tank in the game being able to climb anything worth calling a slope or hill. 1m block climb is impossible
Servers are DYING when there is an some event
Welp... My comment that the game isn't ready nor suitable for eSport got hidden... Are you really that desperate? <.
The afternoon schedules must add 2 hours more example (11:50 UTC way to 13:50 UTC, best time is 20:00 UTC) it cannot be that we cannot play a simple afternoon tournament because the schedules are very early in America time, so it's always the same virgoplayers. Thank you.
Esportz redeh!111!1!11!2!
"E-Sport ready" *WWHHEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEE*
