With ESL One Cologne coming upon us, it is only natural that the true fanboy in people will start to rise up! And of course, what better way to display and prove your fanboyism to others on a counter-strike forum than to make some Sig Bets!
But really what are Sig Bets? Sigs are the signatures underneath a person's post that adds some flair, information, or something cool about them. It's also a way for someone to display their philosophy, mantra, views, quotes, etc. And of course, it's also a great way to humilate others
. Thus, the process for doing a sig bet is as follows: One person proposes a hypothetical situation with an obvious win/lose outcome. Another person then can choose to accept by responding to that proposal with their challenge, proposed sig for the original proposer should he lose the bet. The original proposer can accept this by replying back with his proposed Sig for the loser. We'll keep track of all bets made in the OP and thus make sure that people adhere to their bets. Another thing to note is that your sigs can be witty, funny, hilarious, and of course humiliating but don't overdo it nor make it nsfw enough that banlings have to step in to fix stuff. And of course multiple people can join in together on the same bets. The more, the merrier! And lastly, you can challenge people directly, no need to wait for a challenger with your proposal if you got some beef to settle with them.
EXAMPLE SIG BET PROCESS + Show Spoiler + Bob decides that he wants to make a sig bet on the fact that NiP will not make the finals. So he makes a post similar to this manner in the thread
Alright, I'm going to make a proposal Kevin, an itching anti-NiP fan sees that someone has the audacity to think that NiP is going to make the finals again. He responds to Bob's post with a fanboy response and his challenge which will be Bob's sig should NiP not make it
Man Bob, you a silly NiP fan boy. NiP are not going to make the finals Of course, Bob has some friendly beef with Kevin because of a couple of heated games in the community nights (you should play in those!) and accepts
I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE and depending on the outcome of the tournament, the loser has to change their sigs.
Of course you don't have to follow the same conversation in the example, but try to use the bold tags for your official proposals, challenges, and accepts so that it's easier for me to follow them and to make fun of people who lost silly bets :D

Do you mean they won't drop a map? Or a series? (the latter amounting to "they win"
)

Btw I think we should make it a rule that all sigs should last until the next major.

##CHALLENGE! Sorry bro, I don't see Fnatic winning back-to-back majors at the moment.
If you lose, your sig will be:
pronax's smile melts my weener. ##ACCEPT!

I'm actually totally okay with that.
I'm quite okay with the pronax sig aswell, so it's double-ok

It's not a double bet because you can just say "only EU/CIS in the top four" and it still means the same as Cloud9 not making it to the semis. :p

Yo, Imma take a dual bet if that's allowed. It's definately my destiny to challenge this, it directly clashes with my bet, and I get to call Naniwa relevant if I lose.
