This will be a 1v1 Event, where I will cast every 1v1 game. This event will be 4 hours long.

If this player wins again he will then play vs the next challenger, he will keep playing until someone beats him in a 1v1.

At the end of the 4 hours, which ever player has the most consecutive wins will win first place. Who ever has the 2nd most wins will win second place.

Is this the 3rd time in 3 months when an event includes "king of the hill" or "deathmatch" in the title just to confuse everyone?

Consecutive wins is the same as total wins in this format.

That wasnt my point, lol. My point is that the people who insult him, hate him and ban him are winning the money he did donate.

The point still stands, the guy is a dick and shit-talks people 24/7 no wonder people don't like him. He's just annoying.

After casting a few games from replays I have found that some graphic settings slow down the replay speed. Stuff like shaders, foilage, SSAO etc. with those turned off, it is actually possible to play replays at a normal speed if you don't touch the speed settings

still bit shitty that graphics have to be a minimum but i will have a look, thanks for the heads up

... yeah i also notice that if you dont touch any of the speed settings the game plays back slightly faster than if you press the play normal speed button. Just #DEthings i guess
