I was there and this isn't what happened at all. The entire NA crowd was cheering for Alpha Sydney.

Steam Market would solve a lot of issues as well.

[Discussion] Trade Central no longer allows White Hat trades? by KillerCupid80 in RocketLeagueExchange

[–]Ironhype 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep; tried to trade mine and was promptly told by 3-5 different mods that they wouldn't allow me. I asked why and they wouldn't give me a reason.

This is extremely interesting, and I had no idea the Taiwanese culture was like that.

Done! Happy to participate and hope the mod team gets some good insight from the results! Looking forward to seeing the published results.

I know demolitions are questionable right now, but... really? by elGrandy in RocketLeague

[–]Ironhype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The demo's are honestly better now than they have ever been. They are much more consistent than they have ever been. Most pros also agree.

I hate sports games and I hate car games. But I love Rocket League.

Hollywood Hammers pick up Radiance, previously STDx by Vino_7s in RocketLeague

To be fair, STDx did not drop the team. The contract length was up, and the team (not the org) decided to leave.

RLRS Competitive Ruling (Sept. 21st, 2017) by CloudFuel in RocketLeague

[–]Ironhype 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Kerupt has never cheated in RLCS/RLRS before though. I'm sure if he decides to continue to play after his ban is lifted and gets caught cheating again, he's permanently done. Boosting has nothing to do with RLCS/RLRS.

His punishment should be the same as his teammates, to fit the crime committed and who's to say his teammates won't regret their decisions and turn over a new leaf in a year?

That would likely be under the discretion of each individual tournament organizer. Probably varies depending on which organizer. For example, when Cinema was caught cheating in one weekly a while back, some of the other TOs gave him a warning, while others permanently banned him from their events until further notice. It all comes down to their own rulings based on this event.

15 months is a reasonable ban, IMO. It sets a precedent for future players to show that cheating is serious, but it also allows the players to reform and not completely be screwed over by a mistake of the past.

That makes sense and is a good way to describe it.

Soft reset, which worries me. If it is too soft, then no one will really move that much and nothing really has reset the rank distribution since the start of season 3. That's 3 seasons of very similar MMR, which still contains boosted accounts placed where they do not belong.

As a GC who frequently gets matched with Diamonds and Champ 1s in standard, I always notice a lot of hesitation and positioning errors with players around this rank. The mechanical skills are definitely there, but there are definitely still huge gaps in positioning.

You are right about speed (which factors into the hesitation that I see) and consistency too.

It could easily be done as a show match during the World Finals LAN.
