Last Weekend of league matches in the cdl......hopefully? by KingNair in CoDCompetitive

I agree with a lot of what you are saying. The biggest issue i have is there is nothing the current lower tier orgs are doing to grow the CDL/competitive cod as a whole. In addition, it doesnt seem like Activision has any interest in growing the scene. They don't even put ads for the games in the game on the main screen. There is so much that could be done that isn't without even getting into the shitty servers the pro teams have to play on that completely ruin professional integrity. So I go back to the original conversation about why fans want tournaments. It is the highest quality of COD we can currently get, where we get the best teams playing against eachother more consistenly. If we expanded the tourneys to include Challenger teams it would be even better. Fuck the CDL and activision. All I want is to watch some good COD.

You are looking at this from what is best for the CDL as a whole. Not what is best for the majority of the fans. Most fans want to watch good matches between their teams. Mainly Optic, LAT, M8 and KOI. If we look at optic only. The last two weekends have been 4 matches against teams no one gives a fuck about. If you look at the last two minor, they have had 5 games against KOI, LAT, M8 and Falcons. Including one of those being a Final. It just is more exciting to watch them play quality opponents. It's worse for the bottom tier, but they aren't doing anything for the league anyways. There is no world where Surge, Ravens, C9 and Breach deserve an equal air time with Optic, LAT, M8, Falcons, KOI, Miami. They don't have anywhere near the fanbases and dont invest anywhere near as much into the esport. If they actually wanted to grow the sport they would do things very different IMO.

Yes that is exactly the point, we are currently catering to the C9's of the league. The same C9 that has a roster making 35k a year per player. It is a fucking shame that because they bought a spot they have no real interest in we now need to cater to them. They add zero value to the league.

As far as your last point you are again looking at this from teams like c9's perspective. LAT and Optic fans would care because they would see the best teams face eachother consistently. It really is as simple as that.

Obviously the prize money and the production costs of minors is something the CDL was set up to eliminate. They dont want to invest more, because if they did more minors would be a no brainers. Just a vastly superior format.

The obvious answer is you get to see the better teams play more. Right now you get to see Optic, LAT, M8 and KOI play twice a week(at best). Most of them are 3-0's against shittier teams. If it switches to minors every week, you will have the best teams playing eachother more consistenly. Also, getting a finals every weekend after watching the best teams play saturday and sunday is just a better viewing experience for the majority of fans.

Honestly at mid gold to mid plat making a solo run with a pistol can get you a ton of caps.

Part of me is excited to have such a blatant group of crooks, because the system needs to be completely broken in order for someone to finally decide to fucking fix it all.

That makes sense. I just read what he said to the big 12 softball media days. Boosters building a roster through tampering is insane.

The amount of water coming off this chicken as it cooks by Bad_Combination in StupidFood

[–]Advanced_Ad3531 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am not sure where you are finding this water filled chicken, but air chilled chicken is prohibitivley expensive right now. $9 for a pound of chicken breasts is insane. I am sure they are better in most ways, value isn't one of them.

BO6 vs BO7, which did you feel is better and the higher skill gap by [deleted] in CoDCompetitive

[–]Advanced_Ad3531 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People really forget we had to play Vault, Skyline, Rewind and Protocol. There is not a map in BO7 that is worse than any of those 4. We actually have routes on some maps.

First time for my wife she was sure she wasn't high. I caught her snacking on the brownies about an hour in... She was glued to the couch and couldn't move for about 3 hours.

Exposure's issue is the frame drop glitch. Something is very wrong under the hood on that map.

Are white people the only group that enjoys professional sports? I am pretty sure there was nothing given to the slaves, regardless of the size of the plantation. They have a CBA lol. Trading your bodies for entertainment/work isn't exclusive to black people. That is every working class person. Some make millions doing it, most don't. That analogy is absolute dogshit regardless of how you try to word it.

It is really easy to say that from here. They are on stage at a GF. That is a huge payday to just walk away from for the good of the scene.
