10 minutes from the moment the match starts. If your opponent isn't in the lobby by then, screenshot it and open a dispute: the win is yours.

What happens if my opponent disconnects in a Fortnite 1v1 on Winalia?

You pause the game. Each team gets 6 minutes of pause for the whole match, used in one go or several. After that, the game goes on.

How do I prove I won my WinaMatch?

Record your games. If your opponent disputes the result, send your clip or a screenshot of the final score in the dispute and staff makes the call.

Can I use Simple Edit in a Winalia match?

It depends on the match. The settings on your match page say if Simple Edit is allowed. If it's off, keep it off all match or your team loses the round.
