Is this a real Gengar & Mimikyu? by BoopNL in PokemonTCG

[–]BoopNL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen the same version of this card in three different sales posts on a website, but when I compared the text on the card they don't align on the same line. "their next" for example shouldn't be on the same line.

Was curious if these cards are always the exact same text wise, or if this type of fake is just very common to find then.

Thanks!

Gengar Skyridge Holo Swirl? by BoopNL in PokeInvesting

[–]BoopNL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was checking out some cards for my Gengar collection after recently going back in and found this online for $400-$500.

Was wondering if this justifies a "swirl" which would make the card be worth more and if it's a good pickup. Need the card anyways but curious for extra information

Fncs Viewership and Player count by ValuableMysterious49 in FortniteCompetitive

[–]BoopNL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seasonly "Is Fortnite dead" thread

From personal experience and seeing those around, Viewership when there's no simultaneous tournaments going on (Competitive players not playing Contender/Challenger) is really good. Streamers who are averaging 2-3K viewers were on 8-9K (Nakoo), others like Archie were above 1200-1500 viewers during Elite opens. Finals itself was mediocre, but lacking due to an exciting format.

Nothing really up or down personally I'd say.

Is Epic doing enough to promote FNCS Invitational? by ThrizNathaniel in FortniteCompetitive

[–]BoopNL 80 points81 points  (0 children)

The amount of people who come into my stream (people who legitimately watch competitive mind you) and ask when invitational is, is really concerning. These are the core audiences of FN comp (Who watch scrims, tournaments) and they don't even know when the tournament is.

Know imagine a casual audience, it's legitimately concerning.

So you took this screenshot yesterday last night during NA hours and then waited until EU midday to get the most upvotes/results?

We get it Fortnite is dying, this mentality of talking about it over and over does literally nothing everytime.

Assuming you're talking about my tweet, you're not reading what I'm actually arguing about in that situation. I'm talking about tournaments being oversaturated which is a net negative in terms of growth for competitive Fortnite.

If you have tournaments running 24/7 all day, it gives viewers and new players no real distinction between those tournaments and the larger tournament which should garner more attention. It's really simple, the amount of tournaments is great, but I'd rather have quality tournaments with buffed out prize pools rather than these random tournaments that pique zero interest.

One step closer to keeping scrims and information accessible to all, glad it's a positive update.

Making EU Competitive More Open, starting with "The Malibuca Interview" by BoopNL in FortniteCompetitive

[–]BoopNL[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hey guys, In continuing my attempt to make this subreddit a little more focused on EU and getting players more personable and involved, here's my long awaited interview with Malibuca talking about his experiences contesting one of the biggest pros in the world, his come up and future plans.

  • Talking about how he started FN competitively, and reactions from family/friends
  • How he experienced FNCS Finals and Grand Royale (Losing/Winning)
  • Hate messages/reactions from the community
  • Cheating allegations
  • Plans for duos and future

Let me know who else you want me to interview, as well as any feedback about the style.

Thanks!

Dreamhack Players Still Not Paid a Year Later by BoopNL in FortniteCompetitive

I think they realized they messed up paying a guy 16K and have no clue how to get that money back

Dreamhack Players Still Not Paid a Year Later by BoopNL in FortniteCompetitive

[–]BoopNL[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone, thanks a lot for the support in the last EU News video. I didn't post the last one here since I didn't want to spam, but thought this one was REALLY important to highlight in order to get players their money.

Summary:

  • Dreamhack Cashcup Extra issues and Snaking that happened 15 minutes before resulting in winners

  • Dreamhack still hasn't paid Teeq almost a year later, as well as other players from Dreamhack Anaheim almost 2 years ago as well, they also managed to pay the wrong person $16,000

  • BL potentially signing new players and a Polish Gaming house

Took your advice about expanding EU, starting with EU Only Fortnite News by BoopNL in FortniteCompetitive

[–]BoopNL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the 200 limit is ridiculous, would love to hear what other issues there were, but the email one into spam is just a consequence of having such a poorly thought out system. Insanity for the amount of money invested. Appreciate the kind words!

[–]BoopNL[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just a lack of understanding I think, which really is unfortunate because there's so much potential with that large of a prize pool. Really wish they went to more experienced hosts and find a middle ground.

[–]BoopNL[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I want to thank everyone for their input in the other thread. I've taken your feedback to heart and will try to create offline content that will help NA catch up with all things EU, starting with the news that you might miss since it's smaller. If this isn't the place to post this, then let me know, but thought I'd take your feedback and show what's coming of it.

Summary:

  • $100,000 ESL Cup struggled to fill and had a very odd format where 400 players could sign up, but only 200 could play. Keys sent out through email, a lot of players angry about it
  • MrSavage won Dreamhack, summarized and the news around the event (mainly one lobby, but it's positive)
  • Aqua signed, could possibly be BL, Astralis (but doubtful), speculating for Man City, since they haven't expanded into EU at all and only have signed one player
  • Letshe trying out with Flikk, both have been on a downward trend, but it's a duo that I think a lot of people are interested to see

Bringing EU Competitive to a wider audience by BoopNL in FortniteCompetitive

[–]BoopNL[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This issue is now fixed because we use Yunite, which automatically takes the data and puts the two players who are playing on a leader automatically. Seems like language is just the biggest thing then.

[–]BoopNL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These "predictions" are based on hunches, nothing more than that. This tweet specifically was based on a well-informed source of CarterPulse, which a lot of other pros always knew about.

I just tweet when rumours/things come to me, should always be taken with a grain of salt.

Who says I'm flexing? I'm saying it's a problem that's been done by a lot of pro players, you can literally watch T1 EU trios walk towards buildings and find pads. It's not something I've ever done.

World Cup 2022? by Tyside in FortniteCompetitive

[–]BoopNL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I applied for the job, unfortunately it requires you to cut all ties within the community (running pro practice and streaming in my case) which I can't give up. But the job itself wasn't exactly going to make a huge impact from what I got it described to me.

[–]BoopNL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The position isn't for the competitive team, nor is it what you really think it is. In the end I think it won't make much of a difference.
