Download a tool such as FRAPS. There is no screenshot function in the game yet.

The simplest way is to use the Full Window display option. With it on, you just hit Print Screen, and then paste the clipboard contents into any graphics app.

MSI Afterburner is a free alternative to fraps.



It is used to take shots like these.

There is a free version of Fraps, it works well enough for screenies.

This is what I do. I use MS Paint. Note this works in full window mode, NOT in full screen mode.
Also, you can only take one pic per game, unless you want to alt-tab out, open paint, paste, save, alt-tab in, repeat.

MSI afterburner is pretty sweet - It's totally free and way better than the free version of FRAPS. You can use it to not only take screen shots, but also video capture and alter settings for your video card (if you chose to do so).

I open up a blank Excel file before entering a match, then I use crtl+prtsc for the pic I would like to take, then when the match is over I use crtl+V to paste the pic in the Excel program.... hope this helps.

Be advised that this can only work for one pic at a time. If you use crtl+prtsc again before you paste your pic, you will lose it.

Bandicam is even better. And free(almost).

Guys, you're all thinking to complicated.

Since a few patches back the game can take screenshots on its own.

Pressing PRINT will take a screenshot and save it as .jpg in
