is there a way we can get a scrolling bar to see the ladder on the swiss ranking scoreboard? That would be awesome!

why is there a withdraw button that pops up on your screen? Just clicked it accidentally.

If I wanted to withdraw, I'd exit the gd client and do something else. Holy shit am I pissed off right now.

I just....like even if you thought we needed a button for this (still totally wtf, no, we don't) - you couldn't put it in some kind of after the arena display, or perhaps tuck it in the menu after pressing 'b'???

Edited for adult words and anger.

That was so fun, I got entirely destroyed one round, but otherwise it was back and forth the whole way through.

Also what is resistance? I assume it is the tiebreaker for equal points, but accumulate it in matches?

I believe there were problems joining queue? Joined at 3 minutes, saw the countdown timer and everything, then nothing happened at 0:00. Missed the event!
