It means, you time your entry into queue in-sync with someone else... Relaying on the count down, so both of you (or more) press the battle button and enter the queue at the same time so that MM can put you both (or more), in a match. Thats mainly it and its against TOS/EULA. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What does "Sync drop" mean? You will find CC's on throughout the day, just check the article about it. Additionally, many of the streamers participating are doing countdowns on stream so that people have a chance to get into the game! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats mainly it and its against TOS/EULA. It's not frowned upon if streamers are doing it for chat to drop with them. Also sync-dropping is not against TOS/EULA. What can be against TOS/EULA is Stream Sniping (E.G. you can drop at the same time as me, but if we get into the same game, you are expected to mute and minimize the stream) Edited January 29, 2022 by MiniHannibal65 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is against TOS/EULA is Stream Sniping (E.G. you can drop at the same time as me, but if we get into the same game, you are expected to mute and minimize the stream) When it comes to events its is against the EULA/TOS,,, Its considered as cheating and/or giving preferential treatment instead of being ranom(its been that way since the first Corgi event). WHen it comes to regular battles, it is when two DIV of the same clan ends up in the same match opposite each other... Again its considered cheating... Mainly, it serves to preserve the integrity of the event... It protects you as a streamer, so that no accusations of rigged or bias form against you... I'm just letting you know... You should double check with your event coordinator.. I'm just going off personal experience. Edited January 29, 2022 by Navalpride33 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3,350 [WOLF1] HyperFish [WOLF1] Members 2,913 posts 8,973 battles Report post #11 Posted January 29, 2022 Sync dropping is NOT against the TOS/EULA if I recall directly. If it works, you get a 50/50 chance of being on the same team. The issue is when you use it to do other things that violate the TOS, like throwing the game so that your friends can score the victories, chatting about the positions of the teams etc etc etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If MiniHannibal or other streamers invite people to drop with them, that is completely their choice. --- Sync-Dropping to grief or harass players is NOT OK. In general, doing something to make someone else's life worse is going to fall in the "Bad Stuff" side of the rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In general, doing something to make someone else's life worse is going to fall in the "Bad Stuff" side of the rules. The issue was not about permission or without permission or harassment or grief (good to know BTW)... It was more in the topic of event integrity... More on the lines of making the event equal chance/opportunities for all. Instead of giving the impression of unfairness/bias or any other improprieties....While protecting the streamer of any such accusations. If the event is not about the principles I've noted.. Then its perfectly fine to have choices... Edited January 29, 2022 by Navalpride33 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The event is to encourage people to play Brawls and have a chance to win something extra if the encounter a member of WG NA staff, or a CC that has volunteered. It's understood and expected that CCs will take advantage of this event to stream and call attention to their participation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
