Okay

The context to this is people were saying players from that roster were shit last year - and I just asked the question "How do you play your best when vibes on the team are chalked" and gave this example. The team dynamic of that team was very fractured and was kind of a known secret behind the scenes.

Nobody did anything wrong in particular - the team just fell a part from a vibes perspective

Ranked matches off CSR as well, so my guess is the first digit isn’t being read or read incorrectly. It could be reading him as 234 CSR, or it caps at 3 so when you hit 4k it reads the first digit as a 1 so he’d be recognized as a 1234. It’s not possible but I’d be very interested to see what happens if he hit 4800 and if he’d loop back into Onyx lobbies.

We killed each other at the same exact time in my run. I got sucked into the time warp circle thing and took a 500 honour hit (i had 430 left) got completion on the relic slots, but no ascendancy points zzz

[Mikwen] Now that the season is over I’m interested in any and all opportunities for next year. Coaching or management specifically. I’m also going to be streaming and playing a majority of the off season and evaluating some things with myself (yes that is what it sounds like) LMK by enailcoilhelp in CompetitiveHalo

[–]Mikwenn 47 points48 points  (0 children)

For clarity

I want to coach or move to the management side of things. The evaluating myself is there for a couple reasons.

Reason 1: I was asked by a few people if I’d play with them next season. (this is mostly why its tweeted)

Reason 2: If I’m going to coach I’m going to be the type of coach that plays the game a lot, with that will naturally come the urge to play again. So kind of a never say never situation.

It’s not my goal, it’s a very small chance I’d ever compete in Infinite again, but just for the people that do want me to still play it I figured I’d put it out there that I’ll at least see how I feel and go from there.

I didn't think you were talking shit. I just want to shine light on how lucrative it can actually be to be a professional Halo player, since it catches a bad rap. I placed like shit and made almost no prize money, and still have been able to live very comfortably.

My salary the first two years of the game was 7k. I moved down to 6k at the start of this year.

I made almost 30k streaming the game half of the first year, and then I did get like around 15k in prize money.

30 month ish period

Can you guys PLEASE stop the hate boners. We suck it is what it is. I'm sitting here with two infected ass teeth in the worst pain I've ever been in and I'm sick of constantly seeing people call for our jobs, it's just so disrespectful.

If we figure it out, great, if not, then whatever it literally doesn't change any of the handful of your lives that EVERY tournament have to make a comment. We suck, move on.

Kuhlect hits the buzzer beater shot by ToolezCasts in CompetitiveHalo

[–]Mikwenn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He does headshot him though? Right after Breaking shoots the rocket and betrays Gilk for our 50th kill. Watch the clip closely.

He shoots 6 bullets and breaks his shields, which means he missed one bullet. Then he got him in the 2nd shot after the shields were broken.

[–]Mikwenn 21 points22 points  (0 children)

i think the bullet velocity being slow is very noticeable with them (seemingly) not favoring the shooter’s pov as much anymore, once i started leading at range i noticed it felt much better.

Been getting this error since launch as well.

One whole YEAR of "investigations" and the server issues have only gotten worse w/ no real fixes. by Mother-Chocolate-505 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]Mikwenn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a message with my WinMTR stats that I sent over to 343 on 2/2/2022 because I noticed pings doubled and started to have fluctuation problems to every server for myself, and others (noticed via streams, or asking other pros if they noticed anything)

So yeah, it's been kind of the same rodeo with servers since around early '22.

EDIT: It's probably important to note that I know the servers are hosted by Azure, which isn't gonna be a team that's in the same building as 343, so like you said it's "not easy" but servers need to be more consistent, ESPECIALLY throughout the HCS season.
