OC region have already played its first round last week.

Watch as the top 3 fail because they won't be able to resolution exploit, CAD program exploit, Fire Control and other BS .

[Cy Mitchell]

Really looking forward to watching as many of these matches as possible. Good Luck to all the teams that had the skill and perseverance to make it this far!

[Flying Fox 333]

Good luck to all the teams who are participating.

Might be a good idea to put the UTC times in for those matches as well. Most of the east coast of Australia recently changed to daylight savings time.

Gratz to my buddies in 228.

For all you guys accusing these guys of using hacks and all, and i have dropped them enough (especially the 228 Aussies) to know they are dang good, but have off games like everybody.

Unless you cut the Aussies off from the bar, there'll be no stopping them! I swear they get better when they drink...

Yours truly,

How are they going to fail if all they are doing is to fight each other? And I do not think PGI cares about which resolution they are gonna use or which mouse macro they will use.

If there ever was a team Solaris finals(which I don't remember if there ever was one).... this would be the music I'd be listening to while I watch them fight for their last few moments for glory.

Fight Hard, Die Quick as they say.

Who is calling them hackers, that is just disrespectful to 228 for all the work they have put into this comp.

Granted, Fire Control is not a bannable offense in and of itself, but I would think that teams that look to be in the finals spend some time in vanilla environments so that they don't embarrass themselves when they get there. For example this means the "Wild Ones" will play completely sober for *minutes* on end!

Big Gratz to all teams. I know you have fought hard to be where you are!
Aim well and may luck favour those who have truly worked to earn victory! o7

So how does this part work, exactly? Do you have to sign up for an account on whatever this Twitch thing is or something?

You need to be logged in for your name to be on the list (twitch)

That's what I was asking - logged in to what, exactly? Whatever the heck Twitch is? MWO? The MWO forums? Something else?

Twitch is a streaming service so that you can see live/near live video feeds for the cameras/computers of the players.

[Khalcruth]

So that would mean I have to create an account on this Twitch thing, then? And does the account name have to match my MWO name?

[Ibrandul Mike]

Yes you would have to create an account there.
No your username does not have to be your ingame name.

If you win you will be asked for your pilot name
