How do I disable the new epilepsy inducing strobe while waiting to be paired in a tournament?

As stated in the subject..

Levitiracetam?

Seriously, it would be good to see the time until pairing, so people may go to the kitchen for example without being afraid of missing the game start.

I am not sure what you are talking about IM

@KnightGauthaM Maybe it was a joke?

Not sure.
