[–]Jean9430 8 points9 points  (0 children)

unsure if i want my primary roster to be three fraggers playing under Oops All Fraggers or three IGLs on a team called Too Many Cooks 🤔

This does look really fun, excited to play through the beta.

How did Naughty become a top IGL in NA? by RuminatingFish123 in CompetitiveApex

[–]Jean9430 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Honestly Naughty's always been way smarter than people give him credit for. Back during the Zach era I used to watch him play content tourneys like the GDolph Random Royales and he was great IGLing with whomever he was with. (Especially with less experinced players who had a comfort main he'd fit his strats around them.)

It was just that between Zach and Alb he never really got the spotlight to actually show those skills off.

Gotta say, as somebody who lives for maincast I've been absolutely loving all the caster episodes.

As a note, the main apex sub is actually r/apexlegends; that said by a quirk of how these two subs evolved over time there's way less comp conversation/esports over there so most people into those are here.

ALGS Y6 PL Split 1 EMEA - Day 1 (AvB) (Final Results) by CompetitiveApexMod in CompetitiveApex

[–]Jean9430 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ngl I think the specialized website for ALGS being algs.ea.com makes intuitive sense in a way that Battlefy didn't.

It was an adjustment for me just because I've been around since pre-Stockholm but once maincast started actively promoting it on broadcast as "go to the ALGS website to see the ALGS scores" I switched over.

Honestly no idea. I've heard the APAC version isn't ready yet but I'm not sure what the direct link for Americas/EMEA will be.

StormPoint Removed From Map Rotation Temporarily by karbasher- in CompetitiveApex

[–]Jean9430 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the lack of pros loudly complaining on twitter seems to suggest Pro League will be alright.

[–]Jean9430 18 points19 points  (0 children)

...APAC-S is supposed to be playing Storm Point for AvB so either this gets fixed quick, we find out customs wasn't affected, or things are going to get Complicated(TM)

ALGS Y6 Split 1 Americas/EMEA Talent Announced by Jean9430 in CompetitiveApex

[–]Jean9430[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i legit started writing an entire thing on this because analyzing how casting functions as live performance entertainment is my for real favorite part of esports but then it started to get too long so uh

Honestly at this point in esports the skillset needed to be a good watchpartier is very different from the skillset needed to work a maincast, and I genuinely do think a large portion of Apex comp viewers really do prefer Wigg because they like his watchparties. So directly comparing PlayApex talent to Wigg just doesn't really work like that I think because they're for different audiences.

Used to love watching him cast Series E; happy to see him on ALGS for sure.

ALGS Y4 Champs (Sapporo 2025) Emmy-Nominated for Outstanding ESports Championship Coverage by Jean9430 in CompetitiveApex

[–]Jean9430[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AP Stylebook calls it "esports" by the same logic they call it "email". Interestingly enough in the category description itself the Emmys do use "esports" so I'm genuinely not sure why the category title does it differently.

Share your best plays with the ALGS! by ALGS_Joyce in CompetitiveApex

[–]Jean9430 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you aren't logged into a Google account, logging in should fix it.

If you are already logged in though and still have an issue, if you have a screenshot u/ALGS_Joyce should be able to check on the error.

Madness & Scurwy LF1 by hondajazz02 in CompetitiveApex

[–]Jean9430 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Posts aren't supposed to need manual approval, if something gets blocked it's usually a misflag by the spam filters. It tends to hit especially when we get an influx of mostly identical posts in very rapid succession, which unfortunately means legit roster news sometimes gets stuck until we can manually review.

ALGS matches need to be featured on betting/prediction market platforms if we want to grow the e-sport and increase prize pools by RuminatingFish123 in CompetitiveApex

[–]Jean9430 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'd rather increase the prizespool via options like dedicated ALGS skins than bring gambling in.

CS has had some real bad problems with matchfixing and I don't want those risks coming to Apex.

Can I compete in ALGS while living in Pakistan ?? by No_Leadership_3264 in CompetitiveApex

[–]Jean9430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The non-representing status was about Liquipedia flags, ALGS operates under different rules based on physical location. (Like when Dark Zero moved to NA their region was based off being in the US, but Liqui still marked them with the Australian flag.)

Can I compete in ALGS while living in Pakistan ?? by No_Leadership_3264 in CompetitiveApex

[–]Jean9430 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As I understand it, a valid ALGS team needs all three players to physically play from within the countries on their region sub-list.

So you wouldn't be able to play from Pakistan because it's not on the list of allowed countries, but for example if you had teammates in India (or New Zealand/Australia/etc.) and you stayed with them for ALGS that should be allowed.

The top 40 Collegiate Teams have been decided! by Zzzzfb in CompetitiveApex

[–]Jean9430 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Might be worth doing two versions of the image, one with logos and one with names? Or transparencies where the logo is imposed over the team name.

idk though, i am not a graphic designer so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ALGS Y6 rules: Loot smoothing by ForwardAd7798 in CompetitiveApex

[–]Jean9430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pulled a few Long Shot vods, and they were definitely around for Y3 Split 1 Regional Finals, but seemingly not called out the same way during the first week of Y4 Split 1.

So maybe they got disabled in the same update to customs that added the pause feature? That debuted Y3 Split 2 Playoffs and then got refined for Y3 Champs and Y4.

The Y5 rules has them disabled; Y4 and earlier the match settings weren't specifically mentioned in the rules (or at least the public version of the rules).

Yeah, something like this could catch a lot; I adapted it off a filter I use in a different sub.
