Players are required to be active and available on the SCG Tour Online Discord server. Not being ready to screen share during those events is an infraction that carries a match loss penalty.

Players will be required to share their Arena client window to Discord using the “Go Live” feature upon Admin request. Players are solely responsible for meeting the appropriate hardware and internet capabilities and failure to comply with or meet the minimum requirements for screensharing requests.

To ensure your system is capable of running the “Go Live” feature, we recommend using one of the open voice channels to conduct a test prior to the event. If you are encountering issues during tests, please contact a member of our Moderation team and we will do our best to assist you further.
