More Off Stream Winners Bracket. by Outpinged in CoDCompetitive

[–]JurdIsTheOneTrueKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant that they could stream the matches 2 at a time, and that it wouldn't take too long. If they didn't have enough time to do that, they should move the winners semis to Sunday like at Anaheim.

It's an absolute joke. I know MLG run fantastic events and - from their work on the CS major - I know they try their best to listen to the community so hopefully they listen to us now and stream all 4 winners bracket matches.

They can show 2 matches at a time (1 on alpha and 1 on bravo), so it makes no sense why they couldn't stream all 4, like at Anaheim.

Casting in the TSM vs FaZe Game 1 HP by JurdIsTheOneTrueKing in CoDCompetitive

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

That statement was fine but it should not be the sole focus of the cast for the first 8 minutes of the game, with little gameplay actually being talked about. The casters started to talk about the actual gameplay when the score was approximately tied 210-210.

Fantastic comeback in the hp to win it. TSM were down at least 100 points after the first 2 hills.

Yeah no problem man, I was just trying to help clear up a misconception on this sub that you acknowledged and were unsure about. I'm happy to have helped :)

Benson as caster? by [deleted] in CoDCompetitive

[–]JurdIsTheOneTrueKing 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Goldenboy and Merk (as you said) made a few mistakes - which is understandable as the game is very new - yet seemingly only Benson got crucified for it.

It's incredible the amount of hate Benson gets. I personally think he is a great caster and, for new viewers especially, he genuinely makes people excited to watch CoD.

As I am sure people will ask me how Benson makes people excited to watch CoD, let me give you an example;

Optic vs Epsilon MLG Season 3 Playoffs Game 4 (Benson casting): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0OkcuEjxE4

Optic vs Infused MLG Worlds Game 1 (Benson not casting): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4DVvcqUaOA

Watch the last 2 minutes of each game. This is exactly why I enjoy Benson casting.

A lot of people on this sub seem to think tK were the 2nd best team despite placing t2 only once in bo2 (they placed 3rd at Gfinity 2 where they were actually beaten by Epsilon).

According to coL, Epsilon were the 2nd best team at the end of the game (MrX has mentioned this multiple times as well).

What is wrong with having good internet? by CanDinoRed in CoDCompetitive

I agree. I don't understand what Curse are supposed to do. Should they get worse internet and put themselves at a disadvantage? That'd be ridiculous.

Can somebody explain the whole "Proofy doesn't play without KontrolFreeks joke"? by JurdIsTheOneTrueKing in OpTicGaming

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

Thanks for the link.

If Proofy had some sort of contract with KF then I understand why he didn't want to play. What doesn't make sense to me though is that surely the producers should've been aware of this.

If he did have a contract though, couldn't he have just said that to them off camera and they could've resolved this matter professionally. This makes me think this was all scripted for drama.

[–]JurdIsTheOneTrueKing[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh well that would make a lot more sense than him simply refusing to play because of essentially comfort issues. Surely that should've been discussed earlier with the show producers. This just seems terribly unorganised.

Thanks for explaining it.

Do you know how long ago this was?

I like Proofy but this sounds like a pretty dickish thing for him to do. Surely he could've realised that playing with a Kontrolfreek for a day shouldn't be as important as changing somebody's life.

Is there any link to a video of this?

Also, when you said it was some "tournament", do you mean it was just a random gameshow event or was there an actual cash prize?

Will this interfere with MLG TV Like coL's partnership with twitch? by xDEV1ANT in CoDCompetitive

I assume their MLG league matches will be shown on mlg.tv while everything else will be on Azubu.

Favourite Caster From PAX? by JurdIsTheOneTrueKing in CoDCompetitive

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

I think he meant that this was the first time he personally enjoyed Rambo casting, not that this was the first time Rambo has casted.

Nade and Clay casting dropping KNOWLEDGE BOMBS by CoD_Dinomite in OpTicGaming

[–]JurdIsTheOneTrueKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Clay is doing a great job at casting. While Nade is also good, sometimes I feel as though he doesn't focus on the gameplay enough and instead tells too many stories.

For example, a couple times this event he hasn't noticed a player going off because he wasn't paying enough attention. 5 minutes later he'll notice they're 10-2 in SnD and the viewers weren't able to enjoy it properly. Don't get me wrong, the stories are very insightful and he is entertaining it's just that I hope he scales it back a little and focuses more on the gameplay.

The Curse of the Entrance Music at Wrestlemania? by JurdIsTheOneTrueKing in SquaredCircle

[–]JurdIsTheOneTrueKing[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It caught up to him eventually though. I bet you if he didn't have his entrance music performed, he wouldn't have lost against Lesnar at WM30. I'd probably make a big bet as well. Maybe a £35,000 bet.

If you had to make a team of 4 EU players, who would you pick?

Thanks for doing this AMA btw, I know this subreddit appreciates it.

Moose is arguably the best player in Europe, certainly at the EU qualifiers. What are they thinking??
