While devs are having last preparations, we've collected some questions from you. Here is the answers.

Q: If my team plays self-hosted, what's system requirements?
A: Nothing special, 2 CPUs, 4GB RAM, 30GB HDD will be okay. Remember to install VirtualBox 6.0.14!

Q: Remind me, how long game round and flag lifetime is?
A: One round takes nearly 1 minute, flag is actual for 15 rounds.

Q: So, what's the timeline?
A: Get image password or access to Cloud at 10:00UTC, prepare for network opening at 11:00UTC, attack and defence for 8 hours. Celebrate winning at 19:00UTC!

Oh, it’s fast

And another one!

5/7 firstbloods

6/7! Last one left

Oops, there was wrong logo. Sorry, werelaxe, I’ve fixed it 🙂

Last firstblood (but we don’t think that enigine was really hacked….)

Guys, this year we’re having noticeably more traffic than last year. Please, try not to run exploits every round. Running it every 5 rounds you’ll lose nothing, but it’ll unload network!

The more you're flooding, the less priority you'll get 🙂

The current top 10 teams by bandwidth are:
1. Shadow Servants
2. Enoflag
3. STT
4. Tower of Hanoi
5. [SPbCTF] Kappa
6. C4T BuT S4D
7. [SPbCTF] fargate
8. Bushwhackers
9. CatchFM
10. BinaryBears

The "too much" is about >10 mbits/sec
