I will literally kill my opponent for a DQ before I'm forced to play on red city, I'll gladly take life in prison to avoid it.

God that made me laugh lol! , I am anticipating that your game will be the game that gets it cause you'll assume your opponent will ban it and it will get played as your final match in the series... cause you are meta like that.

For those that played there, how different is it playing at the Microsoft Store compared to playing at home? I'm not even talking about the surrounding environment. I'm just talking about you to your PC (laptop in this case).

The store itself was really nice, great lighting and good room temperature. As for the hardware the laptops ran the game pretty smooth, I didn't check the FPS but playing I didn't really notice any performance issues so the laptops ran perfectly fine. The only thing that that I needed to adjust to personally was the size of the screen, it was just smaller than I was used too.

I don't think I can make this lan but I hope it turns out great. Hf everyone and thanks drek for running another lan
