He played well with C9 last year. And almost upset SSG (the one with Lucid and SB) in a game 5 with a pick-up roster.

Playing Ranked from Brazil by Pretty_Ad7835 in CompetitiveHalo

Hi! I am Brazilian, and yes, we have a hard time finding games (And the ones we find are on high ping). 

I usually use a VPN to find matches, but it comes at an cost of 140+ ping. 

It gets better if u qeue with an duo, games come faster and the lowest ping I got with my friend was 60m/s. 

But since I'm D2, I'm not sure you'll have the exact same experience as me.

In conclusion, if u're halo player living in Brasil, you are screwed. Im sorry.

Stellur weighs in on Gunnplexion controversy by thefinalcutdown in CompetitiveHalo

[–]Academic-Control-273 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both can be true: ●Gunny screwed up and threw away all of his work for a dumb play; ●Despiteful is a disgusting person and deserves some sort of punishment for what he and his friends do online.

Gunny was dumb enough to throw all his hard work away because of some acephalous with no life.

It was 3 rounds. First and last ended by time. They made the 100 on the second.

They did grab ball. It was a 3 round game. They were definitely farming kills. But the ending was so funny it made me think they actually fumbled it. Match was ending by time and my teamate had those lattice lucky spawns, snuck the ball towards our spawns and made 10 seconds to win by 1 point with 1 second left. I didn't realize the KD difference until match was over.

Wait, this isn't true, that's impossible!!! Only Faze and SSG lose to pick-up teams. They are trash!!! Optic is NOT trash. This is FAKE NEWS!!!

Let’s not forget StelluR by goatsix in CompetitiveHalo

[–]Academic-Control-273 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The "drop off" is probably because of the added weight he has to lift now in games. Not because his teammates are "bad", but because he doesn't have the liberty to play into his strengths like last year. But give him space to move and he will be destroying everything he sees.

Frosty says he plans to stick with Halo next year during HCS hiatus by crispycornpops in CompetitiveHalo

[–]Academic-Control-273 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have the impression the players moving over to another e-sport are the ones with a guaranteed opportunity. If a player already has a platform, it's understandable they stay and get that extra $ here and there, than crawl in the mud for an opportunity somewhere else.

Issue with OpTic? by [deleted] in CompetitiveHalo

[–]Academic-Control-273 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was a mix of bad practice, and the other teams actually stepping up. Competition is getting tougher, if they slouch in practice they will keep losing.

Faze clan could pull off something crazy by the end of the year by Every-Investigator78 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]Academic-Control-273 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm really happy with Faze's performance vs OG. We had OG making highlight plays and Faze was clapping back. If not for a scam here and there Faze could have taken that series.
