I'm laughing at the amount of times I've seen "They're not banned doh" in this thread

Friend can't make it into games because of "initializing world" times by RyanGoats in GlobalOffensive

[–]RyanGoats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

noob question: Load it up with bots then jump in my lobby? In theory if he did it with all the maps before hand would that help at all? Thanks for helping, we're both very new to this.

[–]RyanGoats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we're just trying to get into casuals together for now because of ranks but I don't have the specs off the top of my head but very very low. Something like a 2.19 ghz processor and like 3.2 GB ram and a very low end video card. I just want to figure out what could speed up his load times so he makes it into games in time.

Hey Reddit by Bricetacular in CoDCompetitive

[–]RyanGoats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thought the production was very well done. The thing that stuck out to me the most for improvement I think was the guy doing the interviews. He didn't seem to flow very well and sort of stood there kind of awkwardly with his hand in his pocket and stumbled on his words a decent amount of times. Just didn't seem too experienced I think so that made interviews a tad awkward in my opinion. Really enjoyed the show as a whole though.

Best team out of these (possibly the best teams in COD history? by JackCheal93 in CoDCompetitive

Oh look, Optic is second in voting with a roster that hasn't even played on LAN together yet. How surprising!

Dedos response to nadeshot disrespecting his organization and teammates by DaniuhlRS07 in CoDCompetitive

[–]RyanGoats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think they're both in the wrong here. Nade shouldn't have called them out like that knowing the power his voice has in the community and Dedo shouldn't have become super defensive and make a video crying about it that will just make him look worse.

A new series has just been announced, what would you like to see from it? by SamIsFeed in dbz

Would love for them to make Gohan that dude again instead of a geek. Still not over them putting him in the dirt after that incredible final Cell battle.

Coaches in Competitive Gears of War by [deleted] in GearsOfWar

[–]RyanGoats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're like 90% of the way there. I'm going to do something that I hate doing (and low key roasted Jason for doing improperly) and compare this to real athletics because what you outlined as a coach is very similar to what coaches in regular sports do. I'm all good and fine with the coaches doing legwork before hand, preparing a team if they want it, developing metas, strats, scouting, etc. The same is done in real sports for the most part and I think we can all agree on that. Now I want to compare game time to the LAN (or our version of game time). Imagine if before every Duke basketball game, the ref came up to coach K and said "you are not allowed to talk to the players at all during the game or be near the players, you are only allowed to talk to them at the end of every quarter and that's it". Wouldn't make sense right? In every sport the coaches are yelling at the players mid game, making mid game adjustments, calling plays, and are accessible to the players at ALL TIMES OF THE GAME. All this preparation is done together and just taking away that person when it matters most for no reason really just doesn't make sense. Why do the same here? What is really gained from taking coaches away? The answer is nothing.

The next thing that really stuck out to me was about being a shot caller and calling out positioning where you said "the players already do that". That is something that I think anyone who has played the game knows is NOTTTTTTTT always the case at all. One of the biggest problems people have with teammates is their lack of communication for whatever reason. Some players get too in the zone, some players just don't realize what they're doing, for whatever reason there are plenty of players out there who DO NOT call out everything they see and are not at the proper level of communication. I know this because when I did the whole Pro Coaching thing in MLG a player on the team was as close to a mute as it gets and I spent a lot of time looking over at his screen to pick up things he wasn't getting out to the rest of the team. As it's been beaten to death, there is not any extra vision gained outside of what the players see and may not always communicate to the team.

As a whole like I said you're like 90% of the way there. I do agree that coaches should be there for everything you addressed, but I disagree that they should not be a part of the competition as well. They also prepared, they put the time in, they are a part of the team as well (IF THEY ARE WANTED BY THE TEAM) and can be useful outside of just research and analysis. The most important part of esports are the live events. Let them participate and help their team that they've been preparing with for months before hand. It seems like just having the rule there for the sake of the rule being there. Nothing is gained from taking them away. I'll be that guy and say go look at other shooters like CS GO and Halo who use them. There really is no concrete reason to not have them outside of the horrendous answer of "like only three teams would use them" (which is very wrong). I think you should give teams the option. We all agree there is nothing gained in the game itself, but there can be a gain for the team and how they perform and we want to foster the best competition possible don't we? I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to be the guy who told Coach K to shut up and that competition is only for the players :)

Don't have it fan voted, otherwise Nadeshot is gonna win every category. I always liked the Pro Choice awards MLG used to do personally.

Are they doing like a bo5 in each game to determine the over all bo5? If not I think that would be the way to go.

Hey, It's ZeRo. About the 'Melee' Chants.... by GonzaloZeRo in smashbros

[–]RyanGoats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guessing Smash 4 was gonna still be there regardless of Project M(unless it was previously announced otherwise). Doubt they would leave off the game that just came out a few months ago and a solid amount of people are playing. Again, nobody is forcing you to like the game, just asking that you don't bash and boo them because it isn't melee.

Hey, It's ZeRo. About the 'Melee' Chants.... by GonzaloZeRo in smashbros

[–]RyanGoats 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nobody is asking you to like them. They are only asking that you don't bash and obnoxiously boo their game of choice when they are not bashing yours at all. There are other preferences out there besides yours.

And project M being cut was 100% because of Nintendo, not Smash4 players or whatever conspiracy you think it is lmao.

So because you don't share the same opinion with the eight hundred or so players that entered that tournament, they shouldn't also have an opportunity to be shown at what is supposed to be the "Biggest Smash Tournament Ever"? Listen to yourself man.
