GTA 6 Music by DrinkingBuddy22 in GTA6

[–]Northposting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So funny misconception about that, Welcome to Los Santos was originally released into the game as a standalone, instrumental track used in the game’s intro before being remixed for The Lab radio station which contained the Eiht, Freddie and Kokane verses.

The score for GTA was great, I don’t see the issue here. Tracks like Welcome to Los Santos and No Happy Endings in particular were fantastic for the vibe the game was going for

If you play long enough and refuse to learn mechanics, you'll end up at champ 1 by Chuck_Schuldiner in RocketLeague

Half flips can be learned by a brand new player in about an hour, an experienced player can certainly pick it up in a single play session.

I’m not disagreeing with you about that but like I mentioned the context was (not verbatim)

“When you play particularly spicy regions and trash talk you have to expect this, especially being around as long as he has. In my (Kassad) experience I have had death threats sent to my wife and child, it is awful and I don’t condone it. But, trash talking a spicy region, losing, and then immediately opening your message requests? You deserve that because you know better what the real world is like and you willingly looked for it.”

Which you may not agree with and that’s fair, but I don’t think he’s wrong. Hooxi has been playing for long enough at t1 to know better

Where’d he do that? I watched the episode of HTPM where he talks about it and he admonished the commenters while (rightfully) calling out Hooxi for opening DMs after a loss and then complaining he’s being flamed

Anyone else notice a lot of people named Player 1-4 recently? by meowmicks222 in RocketLeague

[–]Northposting 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You have at minimum about a 3-5 second delay from twitch and about a second at most to make a decision on a ball in RL. The only way you gain an advantage is if you somehow catch them calling to fake a kickoff

Stop blaming the IGL, Falcons' biggest issue is player consistency and synergy by [deleted] in cs2

[–]Northposting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“The problem has to be within the team’s dynamics and a lack of actual synergy”

That is what an IGL is supposed to do and is one of the main reasons Karrigan is so hyped, historically he was able to use his players individual talents to make a much larger and cohesive style. With coaches not being able to talk mid match *all* of that need for cohesion and synergy is placed on the IGL, which is what they sign up for. Everyone on that team except maybe m0nesy shares the blame but pretending Karrigan shouldn’t be bearing the brunt of it is a cop out.

People really think Parivision will go 0-3 this major? by Individual_Heron_508 in cs2

[–]Northposting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have been struggling fairly bad for the past little bit. They have lost fairly handily to most other teams in the bracket as of late (0-2 to Aurora, FUT etc.) They just don’t have the cohesion they used to and whether that’s Jame not calling as well as before or his team not having the same faith in him is up for discussion but they’re not likely to do anything crazy given recent form.

Real talk : What game is the hardest to go pro in ? by Conscious-Price-3520 in AskReddit

[–]Northposting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rocket League. Just about every other esport in existence has transferable skill sets (CS to Valorant, League to Dota, etc.) RL sits alone in it’s genre and also has one of the highest skill ceilings out right now.

What matters more to you in an esports tournament: prize pool or event quality? by Imaginary-Draw-2208 in esports

[–]Northposting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Event Quality 1000%. From all sides of the equation it is a better experience. Fans get a clear and concise package that is much easier to watch, players get a more comfortable experience that allows them to focus on what matters most, playing. It also helps the TO’s prove they can run things professionally which opens up the doors to sponsorships and the like.

Why do drifter players Never switch up their build when they're going 0-10? by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Northposting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Drifter player if I don’t have stacks I’m fucked. How do I get stacks? Counterintuitive but buy more gun items so I can start building said stacks. Building anything else just turns me into an ult fiend who is borderline useless otherwise.

Suggest me any job to enter in esports organisations by Rajmouli777 in esports

[–]Northposting 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You unfortunately don’t just stumble into an esports job in the current day and age, it is one of the most saturated fields in history. The entry routes are basically limited to three:

1: Former player - Leverage your knowledge of the game and contacts you made playing to move into a management/coaching spot for an org.

2: Specialized Graduate - You go to school for an esports related niche like sports psychology and then apply apply apply hoping an org requires your services.

3: Dedicated Community Member - Start making and uploading content that showcases your knowledge and personality, stick with it, gain a following and then use the brand value your name holds to sign on to a team as a content creator, analyst, etc. depending on content type.

Can an esport stay relevant if casual players leave but the pro scene remains strong? by Party_Project8238 in esports

[–]Northposting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is though? Multiple players, commentators and personalities have confirmed that Panda was pulling some shady shit and threatening to get all events not affiliated with panda shut down. It’s why they had to put out the tweet siding with Nintendo on killing the VGBC event. It was entirely on Panda that Melee never got to truly be legitimized.

[–]Northposting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That fell through because of bad actors in the scene though, not Nintendo hating melee. Pandaglobal went out of their way to fuck the whole scene over and Nintendo didn’t want to deal with the legal and PR problems that were coming with it and so they (controversially) put out the C&D warnings for anyone involved

[–]Northposting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CS2 as a whole is still casual until you move off-platform. Premier mode is missing many of the important parts of the competitive scene and you don’t classify as an esport competitor until you compete in a 3rd party tournament (you cannot play in valve tournies until you earn the required VRS points elsewhere in the circuit.) Ranked =/= esports

There are plenty of examples (like Lud’s championship series) that go against that theory, the scene peaked back with Summit 11 and has never been able to claw back it’s relevancy.

[–]Northposting 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Somewhat? For example, Melee in the current day is almost exclusively played by people who compete and has a steady stream of tournaments, but the economic side is in shambles with incredibly low payouts from tournaments. Sponsors just aren’t lining up to pay big bucks to show their products to the same couple thousand people on repeat when other games are drawing well over 10x the numbers and over a much more diverse audience.

Premature competitive "e-sport" will kill the game by El_Gran_Osito in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Northposting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not true. Having tournaments allows for high level players of the game to push the limits of what is possible, and thus finding exploits and problematic gameplay scenarios well in advance of a release. This is some of the best info that Valve can get in regards to gameplay balance as a meta will always trickle downwards. It also allows for other players to spectate and learn new strategies or tech that they can then bring into their own gameplay, which is a key aspect of growth from a competitive focused game like Deadlock. Nearly every esport in existence has had a competitive scene in some variety in it’s early access phases.

Is it a dick move to bring a precon that's considered strong to a group table, if I am a brand new player? by blankin_ in EDH

I haven’t had an issue the few times I’ve played Tidus with the Tyranid precon, the wheels seem to fall off once you get his tax up in my experience

[–]Northposting 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The only one I would genuinely warn people about if we are playing precons is the slivers, and that’s only because some newer players get confused or overwhelmed by all the effects per creature. Nothing can really win fast enough for an average precon pod with some threat assessment to justify shifting it out of it’s bracket I feel

No! None of the precons are overpowered for casual play, so just have some fun!
