This is right as the race ends. Would it be possible for future events to maybe be 10 minutes after or 5 minutes to allow racers to get a fresh start as it as well.

Really trying to make as many pvp events as possible. Making an lld character has become somewhat addicting.

If you can queue after missing the first round though that isn't too bad.

Something I noticed this time around is that it announces the name of whoever joins red team, but not blue team before the match starts. That gives a tiny advantage to whoever is blue, since they can see who they're against and adjust accordingly if they've been against them before.

Besides that, had a lot of fun!
i have realised that when your first with 10+ points that i sometimes have to wait 1 minute to get a game until people catch up i dont think this is fair or this on purpose? i could pretty much go afk 10mins and then grind up would be the same outcome as you can see the top 5 has 40+ games while #1 has 32 and i am am meel 30% ms quicksilver rush build that has 5sec rounds cant be faster+ sometimes i cannot see who my opponent is but they can cause i am from EU meaning it takes longer for me to load in for trapper this is a clear advantage (they afk in corner)

You can join these anytime. Missing the first 30 secs has almost no impact. Though it would still be nice if there was at least a 1 minute window between a race and a pvp event, and vice-versa.

We weren't intending to have the events touching, this was a mistake on our parts. We'll try avoid it in the future.

I really like seeing the serious competitive racers take to PVP, at least some of the skills seem transferable :-)
