  • Supporters for Your Oponents Are in the Same Room
    Supporters from all over the world can enter the same chat room. You should cheer up your team hardly so that it won’t be beaten(*). Why don’t you decide the side from where you send a yell? How about the left if your team name is displayed at the left of the room name (the right if it’s noted on the right side)?
    Example: In the case of “COL x JPN,” Colombia supporters cheers at the left side, and Japan supporters send a yell at the right side.(*) Different teams’ supporters who uses different languages will be in the same room. Even so, you must be a fair player as 12th starting member of  your team.
