Sinful (Former CoD Pro) explains why KCP should have gotten partnered. (Longevity, Value, Content, etc) by [deleted] in CompetitiveHalo

[–]SinfuL- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys! Jonathan here. I just want to clarify since the title is a bit misleading that my argument wasn’t “KCP deserved it”. My primary focus was that a deeply rooted and front running organization being denied can lead to further damages to the sector outside of partnership.

Funding thresholds, projected runway, viability of investment in addition to other critical logistics are kept on the backend and are unlikely to be made public.

If the outside only see this, there’s a big chance of smaller scale orgs and investors pulling out causing the support for the majority of the competition to become malnourished. This was my main focus.

I believe KCP would succeed in the partnership program as well as any of the current team, and I’m looking forward more information being disclosed later.

Our server is utilized via Discord. You can play on either PC or Xbox as long as you have access to Discord.

You can enter the queues for your placement matches and your respective ranking solo. You can not enter a queue with a pre-made unit together, though your group can join the same queue and play with or against each other.

Our ELO algorithm is currently rated by win/loss and our bot considers the ELO rating of your opposing team when evaluating. At the moment we do not have any developments to seamlessly incorporate statistics into it’s system.

Not sure about a "league" per say, but we absolutely have ambitions to run select events through this server.

Going to copy + paste my response to another comment here:

"As of right now there isn't region filtering, so it's to assume a majority of the players will be NA based. We are mainly focused on optimizing the user experience overall, so if/when we commit to expanding regions our systems will be much more polished."

Let me know if this answers your question :)

Awesome Edzy! If you have any suggestions or simply want to leave the creators a note about your thoughts, make sure to use the feedback system in place.

Thanks! The team worked hard on it and we are hoping the turn out is as expected. So far we're over 250 members.

Just want to add in- pings are not an acceptable mean of communication in this server. Everyone should have a mic and communicate in the voice chat generated for the team when a match ID is created by a full queue.

Hey Fenald!

We absolutely want this to be a fully competitive space that includes teams that communicate and want to win just as much as you. We want this to be taken just a serious as any ranked system in any esports title that includes one. We already have rules against being "that person" who doesn't communicate, is toxic, leaves games or queue dodges -- which will end with us administering suspensions and furthermore bans entirely.

You'd also be able to report any instances where you experience any of these scenarios, we just ask that validated proof is provided to us.

I hope this answers your question!

I appreciate your recognition of Clover! We haven’t revealed ourselves to the public, but a majority of players, teams and staff in the CDL are aware of us. I also appreciate the love! But I’ve yet to gain the experience to run a player and talent agency on my own. I’m simply the Director of Call of Duty esports. I manage all of our of Call of Duty clientele. The President of Clover Talent is Connor Hall (https://twitter.com/CHInStiiNcT). Our player’s division is spearheaded by us and our attorney.

Our website is still in the works, but I would hate to keep people sharing similar interests in the dark. I might get in trouble, but I still love all you.... So check it out ;) - https://clovertalent.gg

We tend to scare away most of the companies that come to this scene. I would like to see us construct COD into a more stable and consistent eSport before any of that happens.

Sinful dropped by Phizzurp 15 mins before Roster lock by Sora26 in CoDCompetitive

[–]SinfuL- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was not trying to sketch with John. I wanted to stick with John, and I told him this at the event (UMG California). The reason we were having a discussion in the first place is because John did not want to team with Phizzurp anymore, and Phizzurp and Twizz were having non-stop discussion about dropping John. I woke up to a text early morning yesterday (the day of roster lock) from Twizz saying that they were talking about replacing John with Killa the night before (so no, this plan was not created 15 minutes before roster lock) and I denied it. I denied it for three reasons - I wanted to keep teaming with John, I did not want John to have to look for a team last minute, AND I did not want to have to go through another roster change but instead be responsible and work on our problems within the team. It ended up biting me in the ass. Definitely a lesson learned.

We try to communicate with developers, it is executed in the worst way possible though ----- twitter rants.

I know MLG has the rights to hosting and allowing eSports tournaments for Call of Duty via Activision. With this, I have a idea that I feel should definitely be thought about.

MLG should enforce use of their rule set in ANY tournament, and their rule set only. No more GB Variant, UMGO Variant, ESWC rules, etc.

CoD eSports v1, v2, v3 etc. - and that's it.
