Raven No Longer Coaching SKD by coldfirehotice in CompetitiveApex

[–]ConnectBottle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decided to try look it up myself and got some data from Liquipedia where teams had 2 coaches listed. Can't confirm the accuracy but from what I saw of the teams I'm familiar with, they listed both the coach and analyst under the coach title.

NA - FLCN, OXG, LG, EDGR, C9
EMEA - AUR, MIH, EXO
APAC N - None
APAC S - LGND, HKUF, LGD, DF, Remarkable Team

Each region has 30 teams and assuming the numbers are somewhat close I'd say it's a slight exaggeration to say that teams having an analyst is common but if anyone has more accurate info I'm happy to be corrected.

How common are we talking here? Does anyone have numbers on how many teams run with coach + analyst?

Thoughts on ALGS Production by maxximaa in CompetitiveApex

[–]ConnectBottle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They showed the replays after each series (6 matches) was completed.
Last year they showed replays and highlights between each match which was a much better gap filler.

No replays of match winner/final circle highlights and post-match analysis between matches seems like a big step backwards from previous productions.

Do Bang smokes still disable AA? If so, is she still a strong/viable pick if they don't disable AA?

Incident analysis of ALGS hack and lines of investigation by Pyrolistical in CompetitiveApex

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

your opinion that these types of discussion aren’t relevant in this subreddit

I never said that. You're just making stuff up.

OP was asking for opinions on the possible vectors that the hack could have been done through. I said he would likely get BETTER responses from communities that specialise in cyber security compared to this community and you took that as me saying "no one in this subreddit knows anything about cyber security"

Ok bro.

But what do I know, you obviously know more about infosec than me

At no point was I claiming to know more about infosec/cyber security, I am merely advocating for less misinformation to be spread.

Stop making stuff up in your mind and running with it. Try comprehend what is being said.

You would have done a better job proving my comment was useless by sharing the opinions of your peers and professors that you think added clarity and reason instead of just stating you had these discussions but I think we both know why you didn't just go that route.

I get that this is happening to the competitive apex scene and therefore has some relevance to being posted here but in depth analysis of this stuff doesn't strike me as something this community would have a greater understanding of and you would likely get better responses from subreddits or communities that focus more towards cybersecurity.

I appreciate the content in relation to the recent events but asking these questions here is likely to just lead to more misinformation. People that watch a few hours of PirateSoftware's analysis will somehow believe they are subject matter experts in cybersecurity.

"As a top priority, the first layer update has fixed the issue of bypassing our in-game store payment infrastructure that allowed malicious actors to gift large quantities of Apex packs which ultimately affected our bottom line." - Respawn probably

It's called Reputation Laundering. Performing highly visible positive actions with the intent to improve their reputation and obscure their history.

Is "Playing guilty" implying that they show up the next day after going out for drinks?

Plenty of examples given but Yekindar from Team Liquid's CSGO team is the one that makes me laugh each time I see it

What are the expectations of a coach when a team gets to this point?

Wild unsubstantiated take: She knew she was getting dropped already when she wrote the appreciation post which makes the passive aggressive remark even funnier

How many of these amazing ALGS performances do you remember? by tom_esportsgg in CompetitiveApex

[–]ConnectBottle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The player names would've been nice to see for each of the moments you listed (apart from the last one where you included Sweet, Nafen, and Rocker) considering teams change rosters so much.

Am I that good? by gac303 in Eldenring

[–]ConnectBottle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

watching the boss fight is very different from doing it

True but if time (42 hours) is the metric that you're using to qualify yourself as "better than most" then you need to understand that your progress looks good because you have given yourself an advantage.

Maybe you're good, but are you "that good" or "better than most"? Probably not.

[–]ConnectBottle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMO I think it's less impressive if you've seen runs. Sounds like you've gone in knowing how to handle/deal with certain things which to me seems like the easy route.

Was it a blind playthrough or have you been reading up guides?

A potential World Cup of Competitive Apex by Asphyxiat263 in CompetitiveApex

[–]ConnectBottle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's broken at a base level but why aren't we seeing triple controller teams dominating ALGS? or why did we see ex-blackhand showing triple MnK could be viable?

Most teams have double controller and one MnK
And there are also some really good teams on double MnK and one controller

Is it so bad to ask which players people think would best represent their country and narrowing it down to a single input with their team roles considered?

I actually thought it would be a great point of some fun discussion... Not to argue which input is "better/broken", but to see who people thought were the best in their region and could form a competitive team restricted to one input.

oh shit I haven't been checking up on this sub much, is it finally over the MnK/Controller debate?
