It literally would not, and could not happen at the scale or quality that this operates at!~ Also, a big massive thanks to Mr. Birdman for a lot of the ‘under the hood’ work on the OT, from automation of rewards to UI / Graphic layout of the preview streams, making them as big as they can be! And to top it off, thank you to everyone whom participated in the tournament, conversed and watched the previews! I couldn’t have asked for a more friendly and loving community <3
