Required Proof
How to Show Kill Count & Health Bars
Users must give evidence of the scores of each user and also show the health bars of each user when submitting proof. Only show proof of the other team being downed or out completely so we can determine the final kill-count for that team. To get this evidence, screenshot the game screen showing health bars and your kills, then press "ESC" on your keyboard to show your opponents and teammates kills. Here is an example of how to do this:
Or you can get "Replay" evidence showing the kills for each member of the squad for your match, again only screenshot evidence of the other team no longer alive, if they are still alive and it is not the end of the game this will not be acceptable proof. Here is an example of Replay proof:
