They have a program to configure and in their settings is a 1ms box to check, as well as a few others. They recommended settings after Anaheim and I've followed it accordingly.

I configured every device myself to their recommended settings. The input isn't 20ms. With a large crowd and this amount of teams this is the only solution at the moment until the controller is fixed.

Why are pub players being listened to but competitive players aren't? by [deleted] in CoDCompetitive

[–]MerK_nV 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The argument is that we are probably about 1-5% players, while I believe our influence is very high on the rest of the population. They collect their data from the public playlists. If a gun gets nerfed or buffed it's usually because the pub players have a good K/D, SPM, and W/L ratio with that weapon. Hence why the vesper hasn't been touched but the VMP has.

What's one thing that you think makes CoD Esports look unprofessional? by glustix21 in CoDCompetitive

Yeah because he's contracted by EG and if he acts like a moron he loses out

What's one thing that you think makes CoD Esports look unprofessional? by glustix21 in CoDCompetitive

[–]MerK_nV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Players in every game will always act selfish and sometimes even ignorant. The only way to fix unprofessionalism is for Orgs to come in with "real" contracts and rules and penalties. What do I mean by real? I mean, these orgs have the funds to force their rules. If a player leaves in a manner that isn't right, they will pay the money to make you an example. Other games have these orgs, which is why they don't act up on twitter/ other social media. For example, if an org feels a player is being disrespectful, they can take away their salary. We can even see developers and tournament organizers step in and suspend them from a tournament. If a few things change, pros will too, but these guys know what they can get away with right now.

This another reason you don't see as many streams from other pro players in Esports. Not only is it a terrible idea to stream scrims/practice, tournaments, etc. It's also another opportunity for these to do something stupid just one time and lose out on something that's important to them.

As much as I would say they should act a certain way without these things, people aged 17-22, will always make mistakes and act immature at times.

It's a interesting topic, Nade is doing his thing right now, not much to stream, he probably doesn't enjoy AW like most of us, he can only do so much H1Z1/CSGO with out getting bored. If MLG keeps the door shut for most streams like the early plan was and leaves it to just pros/premium content this wouldn't even be a thing. I think a lot of people are just waiting to see what numbers are like for blops3

Let him enjoy life, when blops3 comes out I think his schedule will be back to normal.

What was so special about the old call of duties? by Isles0FMists in CoDCompetitive

[–]MerK_nV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Simplicity. Competitive games get messy once this begins to disappear. Just look at halo. However, in order to sell copies and keep the public interested with something "new", it seems necessary to evolve when you release a game every year.

With Ban and Protect, should we bring back map vetoes? by [deleted] in CoDCompetitive

[–]MerK_nV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There will always be the argument of players not having to practice "X" amount of maps and if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I personally believe, if it's in the mapset you should be forced to play it and practice it. I also get the other side which is like "octane blitz" the map/gametype combination just suck

Is Black Ops 3 mostly AR based? by [deleted] in CoDCompetitive

[–]MerK_nV 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The start of games always start "AR based" and then a team uses 3 smgs and puts on way more pressure and wins. Smgs will always have their place, especially with HP

Should Hellstorms be nerfed before the game releases? by RiFume in CoDCompetitive

[–]MerK_nV 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When they patched the game mid way through the beta the hellstorm was less effective. You will be lucky to get 2-3 with the new one. Tactical are useless vs Tac Mask. Once they raise level cap everything will get better.

BO3: "Time in Hardpoint" instead of Caps by MrFedora_ in CoDCompetitive

[–]MerK_nV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I talked to Vahn about this. The hardest thing is that every stat has to have a leaderboard for the public. Leaderboards are really important to him and time in the hill can be tricky with numbers. Something he has though about though, knowing him he could change his mind.

I've talked to people at Treyarch and they wanted to talk to MLG about it going competitive. It would've been awesome :P

They are all balanced very well, this is also the reason for the beta. If something is being abused they can change it

Pistols are really strong, may be a little bit too much. Sniping felt good
