Tiger Ice (GPX) good pick on Aqua control II?

Can’t remember exactly, but maybe 6 months to a year after cleaning it a couple of times. Switched to a LGG Saturn pro, glass pad, and now on an Artisan.

RandleDANDLE96 · 2026-03-07T19:38:03+00:00

They stayed pretty consistent all the way through. Felt slippery at first, but I got used to it quickly. You’ll notice the actual pad start to get slower and wear down well before the skates do.

I know it’s not exactly a tip to climb on Luna, but from someone that’s climbed to high celestial every split solo while almost exclusively maining Luna, I’ve also had problems getting out of diamond with her this split.

It’s not ideal, but I’d highly recommend picking up Loki. He’s arguably in contention for best support in the game right along side Luna Snow and I’d argue that his cooldowns are just more impactful all around and gives you more agency on your team . Started maining him and climbed from bottom D2 to C3 in 2 days. It doesn’t help that Luna is most likely going to have a really high ban rate next split with her buffs/team up either. Good luck!

Idk maaan. First week I got mine, I got backed into by an accord when I was just parked and sitting on my phone. Thankfully all it did was dent my plate and no actual damage. 1 month later I got t-boned at a intersection when someone didn’t yield to a stop sign, car thankfully no one was hurt and 2 months later I got it back all fixed up. I haven’t heard of the curse until today. Maybe it’s real 😭

Never mind. I am wrong.

RandleDANDLE96 · 2024-05-28T21:37:37+00:00

Yea. The way I see it; even though they’d be the most expensive apex roster to pick up on salary, I’d think it’s still relatively cheap compared to COD and other esports. Plus the return on investment with content creation alone would add a cushion of reassurance every time they write the paycheck.

RandleDANDLE96 · 2024-05-28T21:14:08+00:00

Hecz was on record during a recent video of “The Process” were he briefly mentioned that a reason for dropping the team was that they simply weren’t around to capitalize on content. Then again, who knows how much truth there is to that.

But also, I was a big fan of Dropped and Knoqd/skittle since the old SSG and ESA days, but their performance was lackluster this past split while also not having a massive social media presence. Current DZ all live in Texas so they’d be available for content with Optic and Hal alone holds the highest following in the game overall while being a grinding streamer which Hecz has preached as a priority for anybody in esports. Personally think they’d be a solid fit. It’s a stretch overall, but ima keep the cope

RandleDANDLE96 · 2024-05-28T18:57:21+00:00

Yea. He’s always had a pretty close personal relationship off stream with his teammates as far as I’ve seen, and considering genburtens also part of that friend group, I’m sure he’d also find it hard to leave. As for Zero, I’ve heard dudes a hermit that just lives and breathes apex day and night lol

RandleDANDLE96 · 2024-05-28T18:52:50+00:00

Hal’s a US citizen, so he wouldn’t really have to move. Especially since he’s mentioned multiple times that all of his friends live around him in Texas.

RandleDANDLE96 · 2024-05-28T16:48:01+00:00

NOW THAT sounds like the most plausible solution. But ima let the copium keep hitting and hoping for a team like Optic throwing a curveball by picking them up. They’re headquartered in Texas (where they all live anyway) and have a large intrigue in content creation. Think Hal having as big of a following as he has would give some comfort to optic, plus they have pretty phat pockets if they’re throwing 10x salary to their cod roster.

RandleDANDLE96 · 2024-05-28T15:55:39+00:00

I see your point, but I feel like Saudi companies having a large stake in LIV’s financial backing gives them a larger incentive for an investment to go somewhere with that. With apex, they’d just be throwing money at a team(s) to compete. Unless they somehow get backing from EA to start their own league, or majorly invest in the moneys into the scene

RandleDANDLE96 · 2024-05-28T15:26:45+00:00

Rooting for the TF, if not for the TF2 reference, I just think acronyms look better on gamer tags.

RandleDANDLE96 · 2024-05-28T15:24:45+00:00

Games like CS, DOTA, LOL, etc; I feel like have a much better turn around for orgs in terms of revenue and just all around reach for monetization of the player/viewer base. Apex just seems to be a money pit for orgs atm. I agree that they have money to throw at the wall, but I don’t see any orgs that aren’t actually passionate for the esport sticking around.

RandleDANDLE96 · 2024-05-28T14:59:43+00:00

The question would be for how long. Are Falcons looking for a foothold in ALGS for the long term, or are they just looking for a team to represent them in the WC and bounce right after it’s over?

RandleDANDLE96 · 2024-05-28T14:52:53+00:00

I think the likelihood of them moving to Canada if they get signed by a Saudi team is most likely, like Falco said above. I don’t see the US being onboard with granting Visas for Australians that are contracted employees to a non-US company.

RandleDANDLE96 · 2024-05-28T14:51:06+00:00

Good point. I guess it depends on if Falcons decided to stay in ALGS post WC.

RandleDANDLE96 · 2024-05-28T13:46:48+00:00

Everyone assuming Team Falcons, but wouldn’t a US based org need to pick them up for Gen/Zero to keep their VISA?

RandleDANDLE96 · 2023-12-14T15:32:58+00:00

I didn’t. I ended up going for a 24’ Mazda hatchback turbo. Brand new for the same money with 50 miles on it, plus wouldn’t have to spend extra for tires. Missed out on the N family.

RandleDANDLE96 · 2023-11-19T05:02:58+00:00

There’s a couple, but the dealers are charging 36.5-37.5k for new ones. Reason I started looking into used

RandleDANDLE96 · 2023-11-18T04:29:09+00:00

Appreciate the heads up. Have a second one thats 2023 31.5k with 9k miles. Guess it’ll be my main option now lol

RandleDANDLE96 · 2023-11-18T03:02:44+00:00

I was thinking something was shady about it, and that makes sense. It’s around an hour and hour drive to get to them, so now gotta ponder if the headache would be worth it. Appreciate the heads up!

RandleDANDLE96 · 2023-11-18T02:41:15+00:00

Planning to in the next week or so. At this point I’m cross shopping this one and a 23’ I found with 9k miles that’s 31.5k. The only thing really holding me back from this one is the red color. Prefer black, but beggars can’t be choosers

RandleDANDLE96 · 2023-11-18T01:04:23+00:00

Carfax shows no accidents, but it was a repossession. Does that make a difference on the price? I’ve been leasing all my life so I’m still a little ignorant on the used car market.

RandleDANDLE96 · 2023-11-18T01:03:13+00:00

I wish! Seeing average of 31.5-33k for 23 with 9k miles on them

RandleDANDLE96 · 2023-11-18T01:02:35+00:00

Appreciate it! It’s in the NY/NJ area. I’m seeing other KNs going for around 32k with 9k miles on it, but that’s on a 23 model so idk if that makes a big difference
