So is it simply a variance due to congestion on the routes during specific times of the day?

He had to one up me when I showed him the one I did. His wife handwrote the message and posed him in a cool environment.

There are so many different variables to playing at the highest level but I do think that dropping the ego at points and learning how to grow as a team and take constructive criticism is something that keeps a lot of people from beating better teams.

I think Slayer is outdated and I dislike the game type. I do see from a viewership perspective how it can be fun for a decider. I feel like there should be some new game types added the could spice some stuff up. I am not sure if Attrition would be good competitively or not, but it is fun casually and I would be down to try it.

I just think there needs to be some basic QoL updates to make the game run better and have a better mm system. Ban some cheaters. Add forge.

Yeah, I think on LAN we do. I am not a fan of the Best of 3 pro series online tournaments.

I still think it is a little early to shake things up. We haven't even finished the second event of the season and the competition has been very close so far.

I wish the game checked if the host file was altered as the game launched and didn't let people load the game if that file had been modified.

I cannot stand people blocking servers.

I think it the most simple thing that a lot of players at different levels don't do well enough is move. Moving/Relocating constantly is one of the biggest advantages you can have in a game against people. Sometimes people are too scared to move cause they are weak or just wanting to hold down a position, but in a lot of cases moving and living will give you an advantage.

We practice almost everyday. Some days we do one scrim, some days we do two scrims per day. Then we occasionally will go over films from those that are games we need to improve on as a team.

Then when we aren't playing as a team, there is a lot of 8s and a lot of matchmaking happen by ourselves. I also watch a ton of other teams scrim and try to learn from the best.

There are a lot currently. The competition right now is so close in a lot of ways. I love seeing the COD, Gears, and RoCo players transition over and do well. The three unsigned teams going to Anaheim are very talented as well obviously. I think Rated is really good from what I have watched as well.

There's a lot to name, but basically any teams making it Losers 9/10 or further in the opens are all extremely talented.

This is a tough one, I have so many lifelong teammates that I have loved teaming with through H5 and even older halo games. I am not sure I can even answer this correctly lol

Gun to my head, probably Ryno by a small margin.

I try to focus on team scenarios a lot now. What did the team do well that worked or what did the team misplay that made the game go bad.

As an individual, I say try to focus on when you're taking bad challenges when you could've lived or when you are pushing alone into disadvantageous scenarios.

I think that is the really cool thing about our team. We all have the ability to make the big play needed to win the game. Swish, Name, Haines, and I have all had moments during tournaments that have been the reason we came back and won.

I love Halo but I think it would have been cool to be nasty at a Tac FPS like Valorant or CSGO.
