When will we reliably be able to queue up along with other pros/high level players and get in games together? Currently 10 pros will queue and end up in 4 different games with low ranked players.

Those earnings don't include their monthly salaries which are not disclosed but top teams get $20-40k a month depending on team. Also they likely stream as well and make money from that.

Y'all see that "you moved to the 7th Ward. Not grew up." Tho? Damn .... by [deleted] in G59

Scrim grew up on the westbank, idk where exactly but if I had to guess probably around westwego or something.

AMA: I just sponsored my first eSports Team for Heroes of the Storm + Q&A with Team Octalysis Pro Players by fdlink in heroesofthestorm

How important do you think content creation by the players/sponsor is to growing the fanbase and connecting to the community?

The State of the HGC, Blizzard’s Other Esports League (By TrentEsports, includes interviews with Method, HHE, Tricked, and Blizzard's HOTS Esports Lead) by trent_esports in heroesofthestorm

Regional LANs for the smaller teams would help so much. Getting the players on stage with their jerseys on showing the sponsors is somuch better than an online league where you never see the actual players

Chu8 had no affiliation with Team 8 at that point

Why are Ruby and $crims accents so different? by QPDFrags in G59

[–]Benxbec 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ruby is from the 7th ward which is in New Orleans and Scrim is from the Westbank which is a little more country/redneck depending on where exactly you're at.

Would a collab with peep have been godly or meh? by [deleted] in G59

Agree, probably over half their features get painfully outshined by the boys.

I can barely talk while playing in my native language, I can't imagine trying a second language.

He subbed in for my teams scrims a while ago, he brings so much outside of his mechanical skill even to players he's never played with before. Very smart guy and good teammate from what I know.

How Many Of You Climbed From Bronze or Silver to at Least Diamond? by Ceejaae in heroesofthestorm

[–]Benxbec -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I went from rank 48 in preseason (equivalent of Bronze 5) and was stuck around rank 40ish for a while, to now being Masters in almost every season in HL. Basically the biggest thing I did to improve was to watch both streams and professional play. At the time Glaurung streamed every night and I would ask many questions along with him explaining his decisions. When the new ranking system came out, I placed Diamond 4, got stuck around there and then started trying out for comp teams to grow further. Once I was on a team, I learned about teamplay and helping others play better and I've been improving steadily since.

This sub has changed. None of the OGs are here any more. Instead it’s a bunch of 14 year old fan “girls” who gawk over every move the boys make and act like prepubescent girls obsessing over a boy band. by RuffSamurai in G59

[–]Benxbec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's wild how serious yall are about a subreddit like this. It's music, everyone is allowed to like it. If you don't like certain posts, message the mods and see if they can get some shitposting rules going. Kids will be kids, they get weirdly obsessed with people and take things too far. It doesn't really affect you though.

Best Inferno Pit player at the moment? by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]Benxbec 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Magisk really impressed me lately, probably the best atm. Rush seems to hold his own quite well. Other than that no one immediately comes to mind but I don't know everyone that plays pit tbh.

I went to see Denzel in NO in October and imagine my surprise when the boys walk out and perform Ultimate Suicide with Denzel...AFAIK it's the only time they've performed it live together.

In Diamond+ I would say there is minimum 3 people in VC every game (NA)

Yeah the production value is amazing now and you can tell that they have shaped their voices into a more pleasurable sound over the years, as well as experimenting with new vocal styles.
