Filtering for the game you play
ESReality.com encourages participation in all types of games that are played online and competitively. However, it's likely that you are not interested in all of the games being covered. To personalise the site to your requirements we have added filters to remove information about other games. Activating the filters is simple: click on the filter link in the top right of the screen, and choose the categories you're interested in. If you are logged in, you can choose to set these filters as your personal default - they will be automatically activated every time you visit the site.

Note: Badly categorised content may also appear, the site moderaters will try to stop this happening. You should also make sure any updates you make are properly classified to help other users.
