Hey there Quantum Athletes! We’ve got a whole new update for you! [b]What’s new? Match Replays[/b] We’re bringing back a feature that alpha testers may recognize: [b]Match Replays are back![/b] Now, you’ll be able to[b] see a list of your last played matches from a tab in Player Profile and rewatch them from a spectator’s perspective. [/b]You’ll be able to recapture your best moments from a different perspective or get a better look at the strategies used by the other player as well. An important note is that match replays base their action on the server’s reality, so if you have high ping what you see in replays may not match 1 to 1 to what you experienced while playing.
