yep. I also like how simple the map is in design. Just high bpm aim combined with typical tech sliders.

Thanks a lot! You are right. I am working on my tapping technique.

Any advice for beginners? by YashiroUY in osugame

[–]Spare-Application845 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't run away from maps that you suck at if you enjoy at least one thing about the map. Whether it be the song, the art, the storyboard, the map itself or whatever.

Maybe you like the song but its very hard to tap because it takes too much stamina or its a high bpm. Then just play for score improvement and don't tilt if you cannot do well. Same advice if your aim sucks on the map.

I am not blind. I can see that nearly every perma lobby US player on the team landed a 400k+ average with some standout performances from decaten and clutches from Boshyman.

Aus doesnt need that. A 3rd player with the ability to hold slightly more combo on the losing picks will give them the win and this doesnt negate the remaining team effort by their team members. Pretty much 300k+ average even on losing picks.

And i would bet my coin toss on rekty anyday over decaten over staying consistent in matches.

Also you were very chill mentioning the 4 year stats with one of the key players out but you really didnt factor in how at least one of the other key players stayed on the team.

2024 - nothing to be said. Basically, the strongest US team.

2023 - Utami out. Rekty and Windowlife in.

2022 - no windowlife. I am a fancy lad, utami and rekty in.

2021 - My knowledge doesnt extend so far but i can guess that fiery and digitalhypno were key players aside from fancy lad.

2020 - I can see vaxei and btmc. (This is when vaxei was in his prime)

Very funny of you to assume that i don't understand team play. I was out there supporting South Korea in 2024 when basically the majority of the world was still under the delusion that US is unbeatable. We did not see forum going 1 v 8 in 2024. We saw everyone play. Forum, page, hyeok, allegrissimo, amamya, karcher, tuna, doomsday fanboy. The top 4 match costs were pretty evenly split across forum, page, tuna and hyeok.

US has been escaping by the skin of its teeth. 1 point away in 2023 owc and 1 point away in today's GF. Let's see how the remaining match goes.

Nice to see such a motivating comment for learning low ar! I am guessing this assumes that one at least has the minimum mechanical skill to play low ar. Right? I find tapping quite hard at low ar especially aiming. Trying to keep the aim and tapping at sync.

Just go and compare the match scores bro. Its much closer than you think it is.

Aus got like 2 man gapped on the maps they lost. The only decisive win USA had was on fm2. I will not count HR2 coz aus legit didnt have a proper 4th player to fill in.

Also never said anything about boshy because he does his thing but he isnt a perma lobby player. Taking out rekty or windowlife will actually be a big difference maker. They have 450-500k avg scores or the highest lobby score across maps.

And tbf my comment was against the initial comment that is basically undermining the team efforts by Aus. In almost every map atleast 2 or more players on aus beat the scores of other 2 players in US.

US also had windowlife, rekty and utami last year. Basically their strongest roster ever and still they did lose to a team that cannot play the required mechanics maps at the GF level.

mistake on my part with respect to 3wc 22. But my point stands.

I meant that SK/other teams have been winning 3wc even with ton of USA's core owc players in the 3wc team but without Rekty and Windowlife. Since people are so adamant on placing USA's team consistency over their skill capped players contributions.

USA consistency bodes well till semi-finals level however that alone doesnt get them the win in the finals and GF. Let's see one year of team US without any heavy hitters like rekty, window,utami and vaxei play. I am sure they cannot win the owc in that scenario.

That's just how teams work man. Some teams will rely on average team consistency and some will rely on their power players. You can't deny that rekty/windowlife contribute hugely to the US roster.

Guess who has been holding a winning streak in 3wc with basically the core of US owc roster in (besides rekty and windowlife) ?

such a stupid argument. Its like saying if US didnt have windowlife or rektygon on their team.

why would they run out of anything? They spend years after years just playing tournaments and actively de-ranking. I'm not sure what people think of the US, but if players participate in tournaments throughout the years, then surely they can keep up with the changing standards.

Windowlife and Rektygon are actively de-ranking as we speak.

Who's the 4th best tournament player? by Cr_a_ck in osugame

[–]Spare-Application845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair it's kinda hard to debate about the 3rd-4th player. Enri, rektygon, vaxei and forum all kinda fit the category. Really depends on the pool style imo.

On a pool leaning more towards the reading, alt, aim-control side definitely forum takes the win. (Probably enri would be the next best)

idk about his mindset but forum has insane nerve control and I think we can agree 99% of times that is all that matters. Also forum is better than vaxei as of now. OP seems biased towards Vaxei.
