You should have the "Recover game" feature. Resume from replay allows the other person to cheat as the replay gets forwarded to where it should be. Recover Game you can pick the time stamp for it to skip to without the other person being allowed to see the other's army/supply/positioning/upgrades/bases. Generally stops important stuff from being seen.

On the bright side, it's masters cup today as well, so give that a go as well

Thanks Nem,

I don't think carmour is really GPD he went toe-toe with Kreamy just had some bad engages.

[mGGNemesis]

Daylight savings just hit; probs follow the counter countdown for today?

[zenabi]

I was masters 2 seasons ago and now diamond and like 45% win rate and he asked me to sit out so i doubt carmour will be able to

[eCKoa`ProzeR]

Is it possible to play in NA? Because it is super laggy and bad for me when playing in SEA... Don't think I'll play well and get far if I play in SEA. Admins?
