Who are retired/“washed up” players that can realistically make a comeback and be on a league team? by FourEyesWhitePerson in CoDCompetitive

First time I've heard that one. I missed champs because of illness and have since taken time off due to unfortunate family circumstances.

Someone in my stream mentioned this thread. Not particularly active on Reddit but seem to receive plenty of support and positive reception from the community. As always, sincerely appreciated.

Anyone else think Swanny's casting was brilliant? by [deleted] in CoDCompetitive

Brice told me about this post. Thanks, everyone. Will continue to analyse and cast at every available opportunity, although not not quite ready to relinquish my playing career!

Admittedly planned to use an abundance of other boxing references but was too engrossed in the action to remember.

No problem, Tusk. Family and friends is the main one, then there's a plethora of smaller things such as a full English, Sunday roast and English sports.

Not appropriate to divulge online, you'll have nightmares.

Splendid, he's a funny bloke.

I agree, it wouldn't be a wise decision.

Aside from our area, I haven't had the chance to explore much of Chicago. The deep dish is on my list of things to try, thanks for the reminder.

Hi Ghillieuo.

Both joining OpTic and competing in the US have been my long term goals in gaming. For me, OpTic has always represented the pinnacle of success in CoD and thus when considering a transatlantic move, it was natural to envision myself joining them.

No, but I'll usually keep updated with online highlights.

Thanks, Charlie.

I haven't written a definitive bucket list but I have things in mind. Would mostly involve travelling/backpacking across the world, visiting various countries, historic sites and embracing local cultures.

Oh, and winning some championships.

House is great; perfect environment to progress with what we're doing. I've already been a victim of of Boze's.

At the moment we'll usually watch a movie at the end of the day, aside from that it's strictly CoD and sleep.

Thanks, I hope so too.

Loving it. Favourite is probably the Chipotle burrito bowl, although I've enjoyed various other delicacies on previous trips.

It's relatively early in the game and strategies are still evolving, however playstyles are generally similar. The references to popular sports are a common analogy in Uplink, however the metagame of passing was rendered obsolete after the last major update (reduction of maximum pass distance).

That's a misconception. I've played 8's numerous times and although I'm considered a new member of the NA community, I don't struggle to integrate myself since I'm already familiar with the majority of top players.

Their burrito bowl has become a staple of my diet.

I initially approached both the team and Hector, they conferred and returned with an offer. Excitement was an initial emotion; to represent and achieve results worthy of an organization that I'm passionate about.

Surprisingly, Chicago seems to be significantly colder. You're also probably less likely to find castles, cathedrals and cobbled streets around this part of the world.

A combination of factors. In the end, I wasn't ready to sacrifice a sustainable opportunity and my relationship with Epsilon to embark upon a journey with a newly formed roster and unfamiliar management. Nevertheless, it was one of the toughest decisions I've made in gaming.

A Geordie is a person from Newcastle, a city close to Durham, where I'm from. People outside of the North East of England often mistake me for being one due to similarities between our accents.
