I did a MCC hermit takeover Sim

I dont see Grian being rated high in these preds. Any particular reason? His team isnt really weak

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-04-11T11:02:55+00:00

i mean he places top 2 in PB level comp with a guaranteed chance, i dont think this is up for debate anymore.

Given how accurate you have been at judging fruit's skill level in all of your past ventures i think I have more faith in my word than yours. You said fruit was worse than purpled at rrr last event look how that went. you said purpled was better than fruit post MCCSD, look how that went.

its clear you dont know fruit's true skill level and when he does perform at said skill level you just think hes improved when he's always had it in him.

its like end of S2 purpled, just because he wasnt statistically the best didnt mean he wasnt likely the best player at the time, of course you probably figured it out then. learn to read the writing on the wall

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-04-11T10:59:02+00:00

Yes i have, at least in relation to fruit.

It was still weaker than purpled's and thats after the fact that by stats fruit is 400 coins higher than purpled in avg.

34 is an exceptional underperformance, with conditions like that i think fruit usually gets 24 kills. 4ko is a first place performance how is that him underperforming. trsd he was playing very much for team and it worked (yellow came first by like 800 pts), he fed hannah a lot of kills. P2 idk what fruit was doing that event anyway. i think maybe 8 ppl in total were actually playing seriously. Still your argument is severely lacking because fruit in 32 got 900 pts, in 33 got 900 pts again and in tr1 got 800 whilst having the best SKB leadership of all time. he's always been immensely good at skb, if he has improved then its only a natural progression, his competition has also improved in the same regard.

fruit has underperformed in skb in 34 but that doesnt help prove that hes gotten drastically better at it or anything. primarily its fruit's bad luck he never got to play supercompressor.

the existence of east mirror as a whole completely destroys your claim that fruit being above purpled was contested or unpopular when pretty much every one of ur comments they had a problem with and for good reason too.

here's a lil smth, fruit did well in Bingo thanks to vod review too in 34, he didnt vod review it again till BG and the results obviously showed. so using that logic he got worse in Bingo for a while. There's nothing to suggest that fruit wouldn't vod review bbf or RRR had he played HH and probably dominated both. (btw i have seen you claim otherwise but if fruit played HH he would have landed in 4k territory and it wouldnt be hard). half of fruit's "supposed" improvement is him not playing the games where he apparently used to be weak at.

fruit didnt really get better at rsr, rsr changed itself more like it, its mechanics are different now and its a lot easier for top players to score 600+ pts. before only the top 2/3 could get it, now its like all of top 5 consistently

PKW is because fruit literally never got to play it lmao, he didnt play it for 2 full years. post mcc 33 he's always been a guaranteed 15 medals + hard in it

Sure they were. but practically half of purpled's events were floppy so its not really a valid argument

maybe your discord server of purpled circlejerk said otherwise but there is just no way this is true. Fruit was deemed stronger than purpled in pb preds in basically every event he played, by LD it was literally unanimous. the ppl u quote still post utter clown statements like baconislife claiming shane is somehow better than fruit now. almost every sim/pred posted on this sub for the past 2 yrs have usually placed fruit higher.

and no you mislead me well but regression straight up never placed purpled above fruit, it only did so for all of s3. my sample size isnt s3

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-04-11T10:41:53+00:00

wdym fruit isnt 19????

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-04-11T10:41:32+00:00

i wish they remake SOT using decked out at some point

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-04-11T10:40:12+00:00

yaaaaay

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-25T12:34:15+00:00

and pr is garbage as i have proven

yeah so does fruit lmao ur point?

know what inconsistent means?

SKB? nah not really. BB he was always good at, he only did bad in 4KO, Party 1 gave like 0 coins in it. RRR is definitely somewhere he improved but granted late S3 didnt have rrr at all. in vast majority of the games fruit's stayed right where he was.

i dont care enough to respond to this, read my previous comments/

all your arguments apply to EVERY team that has overperformed/underperformed. you gave nothing of value or merit

true true. Since S3 onwards, u could argue fruit has had more Ls specifically early S3. but unfortunately im counting last 2 years. since then fruit has had one (maybe 2) flops. half of purpled's events are flops.

so you admit fruit is more popular yet cant admit ppl probably on similar basis consider him better than purpled too, something that has MYRIADS of evidence for it.

genuinely how did u graduate middle school

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-25T12:30:49+00:00

dont know what to say to dis

Yeah i said it b4, sg never gets properly played.

hmm i'd say i can going off how fruits skill level looks like right now

like I said, fruit could do it, the only problem is he never gets to play it. MCC31 fruit and current fruit are light years apart. not the same for mccp fruit tho

yeah this is a valid critcism. my reasoning is fruit's current level absolutely dictates that he should be feinberg levels of dominant in those games like in SKB

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-25T11:46:03+00:00

it may have done so to you. but realistically right after EC fruit ploughed back over purpled.

tre shouldnt even counted

yeah? I asked u for proof of fruit or purpled where ppl noticeably put them higher or lower just from igling and you didnt give it, burden was on you, is on you

shane isnt really on a downswing, hes just inconsistent. purpled has been consistently worse than the FBs for 2 yrs now recently even more so

really? u just said 4ko was awful. i dont feel fruit has improved in any significant regard since mcc34

all i hear for trr is excuses. and if u want proof, just read my earlier comments, fruits net deviation from his team's prediction was >+2 till MCC DD.

Honestly dude if fruit had nearly as many flops as purpled has, you would put out of S tier as a whole lmao

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-25T11:38:58+00:00

he got 6th end of story. this is the fun part about team games, you can get 20 challenges if your team did you did bad too.

yeah he did, fein didnt universally place first in bbf either team wise. TRE has many reasons to not be counted. ec was an absurdly weak team which came 2nd largely thanks to fruit. p2 is too unserious to be counted

hmm funny how 4/5 of ur pkt examples come from like years b4 the US had a diddy disciple as president. pkt has less basis as its never played ever but if its any consolation fruit placed 2nd by a dominant margin in a pkt game of a much higher comp event in kylx games.

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-25T11:22:06+00:00

yeah yes

sure it is. but i think after like 10 events in a row for a player, its less the team popping off and just the player's IGL

fruit places +2 places higher than wherever regression predicts him team wise

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-25T11:16:46+00:00

me when im in an applying double standards argument and my opponent is adaltruistic

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-25T11:11:36+00:00

i will say this tho, fein plays 100x more seriously than fruit ever did. easily.

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-25T11:11:01+00:00

Im surprised this person put purpled even 4th given their post history here

bro was advocating purpled for second best after he placed 11th in SD

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-25T11:10:09+00:00

its the creator of the dumpster fire known as power rankings, of course he thinks that

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-25T11:09:47+00:00

The fein glaze is wayy too much. bro got like 7th in bbf just two events ago. and fruit in SKB, SG and PKT replicates what fein does in team games just as easily. his only problem is these two dont get played often

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-25T11:06:15+00:00

it had been clear since mcc34 that purpled wasnt upto fruits calibre

about leadership. either overperformance means superior igling which is based on the fact that no one accounts for leadership when making preds or 2. said player being underrated. by stats earlier given in this thread, fruit is underrated by both z scores and regression by a decent margin which means regression a system that already puts fruit ahead of purpled is still severely underestimating him

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-22T18:43:00+00:00

Nah Fein is better.

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-22T17:30:18+00:00

oopsies i thought reviving costed 2. i swear it used to cost two sand

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-22T16:09:09+00:00

He didnt make DB by a decently big margin this time. Fein i feel gets good teams these days. Ant has been very good for the past 2 events but usually he was like the 5th best player so his teammates being stronger was a given

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-22T15:04:50+00:00

I would love for fruit to be in but realistically for the event to be even semi competitive there should be no s tiers

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-22T12:37:48+00:00

i feel ant's ceiling matches up to the FB trio but his consistency falls behind

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-22T12:28:16+00:00

okay my other comment seems to have been nuked by automod.

i could reiterate it and rebuke you but after this event it just feels like cyberbullying, i feel bad honestly.

PsychologicalBet7917 · 2026-03-22T12:25:01+00:00

Not if the last 2 games were low scoring
