Rule update:

Rule Update #1:

All players have to record the Semi finals, finals and the bronze match.

If somebody thinks another clan is cheating in rounds 1-4 finish playing the map round tell opponents that you think they are cheating and then contact an admin. The admins will then decide if the match has to be replayed or continue with both teams recording the match.

If you don't want a huge performance drop while recording use MSI Afterburner (link).
