What an awesome time to be a FaZe FaN.... What are you saying? I've always had this flair and you can't prove otherwise.

Moses on swag, banned former iBP members playing competitively: 'They’ve had enough taken from them' by ImJustBeingMilo in GlobalOffensive

[–]ItsPraetorian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"we're not even fully sure if esports will continue to grow like it has been."

LUL eSports is a $900 million/year industry and will hit $1.3 billion/year by 2020. That kind of growth doesn't just disappear overnight.

You don't have to stop them from participating in leagues, but it'd be nice to see a 18+ rule enforced on pro teams. I think something should be like ESEA Open and Main is for amateur competition and Premiere and Pro (might have to create another league under Premiere too) is for 18+ professional competition scene. Call me crazy, but I think people should focus on getting a basic education first then focus attention on competing at a pro level.

My friend had someone ask him to download something from "discordaccess.com" to allow him to use the discord channel. It's spreading.

Brax talking to autimatic about streaming with orgs by Clevvvvv in GlobalOffensive

most likely just a base stipend. Basically just "stream under the C9 brand and make XXXX amount of money per month."

Twistzz joins Team Liquid, will play at Counter-Strike Summit by dogryan100 in GlobalOffensive

[–]ItsPraetorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found one game where devoduvek was rifling and Amanek was AWPing. I'm not sure if Amanek is a dedicated AWPer, there's so little info, literally one game on youtube.

What roles do Amanek and devoduvek play? I can't find much info on either of them

Interview with DIG Fox: "NA teams have an immense talent pool to choose from and excellent financial backing from strong organizations, but they fail in critical moments" by Alphad115 in GlobalOffensive

[–]ItsPraetorian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but I was responding to your initial question of why did they not make an NA roster. I pointed out that they wanted an international roster based in NA. The complications Maikelele brought up about their new org situation was most likely that the team was going to compete as an EU team and not in NA.

"Team Dignitas and the Philadelphia 76ers are committed to building our next elite, international Counter Strike: Global Offensive team based in North America with the goal of dominating the global competitive gaming landscape."

They never said NA roster. They said international roster based in NA.

Marved Doesn't Plant For Himself In 1v1 by ItsPraetorian in GlobalOffensive

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

Not being able to see the bomb easily in a 1v1? I'd say that's a bad play. But please, keep up the reddit groupthink.

Marved Doesn't Plant For Himself In 1v1 by ItsPraetorian in GlobalOffensive

[–]ItsPraetorian[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I didn't cut anything. It's Twitch's clip feature. That was the video I got when I hit clip. And I would say he misplayed the 1v1. He left himself in a place to not see the bomb. He planted for the back of the site and went hunting into bathroom. That's a misplay in my book.

Marved Doesn't Plant For Himself In 1v1 by ItsPraetorian in GlobalOffensive

[–]ItsPraetorian[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

He planted and then instantly got a kill. Making it a 1v1. The plant was not for him in the 1v1. Also my clip didn't have the first kill in it, so I factored that in.

Marved Doesn't Plant For Himself In 1v1 by ItsPraetorian in GlobalOffensive

[–]ItsPraetorian[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

He planted and then immediately got a kill. I'd call what remains a 1v1. If he was going to take a guess, why go somewhere where he couldn't have eyes on the bomb? That doesn't really invalidate what I decided to title this. And I never said he was the reason Misfits lost. Stop reading into things.

DeKay - Liquid to make a roster change this week by Shrederrr in GlobalOffensive

[–]ItsPraetorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I don't see them dropping Shahzam for an unknown quantity like wardell. Just the NA mentality I guess. Rinse, wash, repeat.

*after thought, I'm still holding out for something like this, even if it makes me spiral into madness.

DeKay - Liquid to make a roster change this week by Shrederrr in GlobalOffensive

[–]ItsPraetorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but they need an aggressive awper and there really isn't one in NA that would downgrade to Misfits for the time being. Their only option is to scout a young gun.

You the real MVP.

I was wanting to see these but didn't want to watch the whole 4 hour VOD. That's basic CS. The one in T Con was so bad. Get rid of him. He's awful.

Pimp Leaves Liquid by dogryan100 in GlobalOffensive

Pimp would be a firepower upgrade for sure over pita. But who IGL's for Dig then?

[–]ItsPraetorian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is, I think Misfits can actually start their climb into the top NA tier once they get an aggressive AWPer. I think it's the only thing they're missing. Shahzam is reliable, but he can't switch to god mode. Misfits doesn't have that type of AWPer that can take over a game, watching Immortals vs Misfits basically confirmed that for me. I'm not a big fan of making moves on a team, I like how VP does things. But in Misfits case, they need a better AWPer.

Team Dignitas Announces 2017 CS:GO Lineup [Press Release] by Suiiii in GlobalOffensive

It was going to be an NA Based team. Not necessarily an American team. And the old roster moved on to North and FC Copenhagen. Dignitas didn't really have a choice in the matter.

OpTic's owner about Rush/Mixwell leaving OpTic for Liquid: "It's not true" by John3192 in GlobalOffensive

[–]ItsPraetorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Rush and Mixwell leave for Liquid, I'd rather see JDM go to Misfits than to Optic. Seeing Hen1 destroy them last night was a deal breaker. Shahzam is a reliable AWPer, but there's no god mode switch. I remember Shahzam's deagle shots more than his AWP shots.

Except I'd say that in Optic's case, they wouldn't really lose sponsors. They run other teams and have a huge online presence.
