I find it noticeably worse at peak times i.e 7-12pm and worse at weekends. Not unplayable by any means but can be frustrating sometimes

Hmmm, that sucks and puts me off somewhat.

Quite interested in this tournament tonight.

Been checking out a few people on Twitch. Only Brit I know is Sacriel so he gets my support.

On the NA side, I actually quite like a guy called Ninja.
He's a childish kid, but somehow quite endearing. Not the sort of person I'd normally put up with let alone take an interest in.

His spotting of players and reactionary shots are awesome!!

you'll not have any problems squadding up with some OcUKers. there's a discord channel (link is back a page or 2 I think)

Just to be clear when I say noticeably worse I don't mean awful, just a bit more laggy that I'd like

As said, hop on the Discord. Easiest place to find it is pinned at the top of the PC Games forum.

(Who actually pays for it?! Because, thanks!)

I've been playing a bit over a week, and people are dead patient with me and more than happy to invite me into a team.

You'll have no problems slotting in (thumbs up emoji)

All the host servers?

As far as I know. Any one can download and set up their own discord server

Mynight · 4 May 2017 at 18:22

100% free (for now). They banked 45 million from investors so that'll keep them online for a fair few years.

You can pay for extra feature "nitro" basically bigger uploads/gif as avatar/some emojis/nitro badge.

Chris [BEANS] · 4 May 2017 at 18:25

Wowzers, that's awesome! Thanks Discord then (thumbs up emoji)

Sacriel gets carried so hard by the other members though, and he moans so much its unreal. He is never wrong its always another team mate or player. he talks up positivity but often can be an absolute ***** to others.

An actual good player of the game is Steal, his tactics and awareness are next level.

I think you're right after watching the first game of this charity event. Break carried him and he kept getting downed and only got 1 kill.

The lag was a joke though, was watching Breaks stream and he couldnt even run forward at one point.

Where do I find this stream?

though to be fair Sacriel moved house yesterday so he's stressed, tired and his pc layout isn't his usual.
also the movers dropped a £4k pc then said they don't insure pc damages.

Cheers mate.

Is it worth watching or is it the usual guff with streamers trying to act overly 'cool' to get followers/likes or whatever it is they survive on?

I reckon Jam & Scoom have a decent chance. I dunno about the other 2 but Scoom queues in duos on his own (no partner not even random) and seems to do really well. Jam is a pretty strong player as well.

Gonna be great fun to watch either way

Called it

Game 2 won by Jam & Scoom

Edit: 2nd place overall

Well I started following some chick who wasn't very good strictly because she's hot, and I'm lonely and shallow

So worth a look for that if nothing else!

I'm cynical so probably not the best person to ask

.

It was alright they all seemed to play well. I don't watch enough commentators to know if he was bad or good but he bored me. Would have preferred to just watch the gameplay. Since spectator camera is broken it was kinda annoying.

Thekwango · 4 May 2017 at 20:07

ah started to watch it and realised I don't have to listen to the actual streamers. though the commentator is a boring sod!

also good to see the streamers are equally as capable as us 'normal' folk of making retarded decisions!

is it me or does it seem like the blue zone is taking a **** load less health of them than it does in normal games?!
