In case of trouble encountered during the match in progress, a referee may be called

They will naturally need as much admissible evidence as possible to make a good decision (bear in mind that they can't see everything that is happening to you!)
Please upload your piece of evidence as soon as possible, before your referee comes into your game chat on Nicecactus.
Note that any abusive request will be punished

Please respect your opponents and referees, esports have to be gentlemen disciplines. Abiding by the rules means playing in a fair environment, and only this will let you show your real skills.
Talking courteously with your opponent(s), even if your game goes wrong, will always make you lose less time and generate less stress.
