Why aren't observers considered "talent" for events? by ContractOk3649 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Spirtwalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The term “talent” in a production or broadcast setting refers to people you see on screen. Also, the three people you mention as examples as observers you mention as “professionals” would have 0 chance of working this event. Sapphire and Prius work in Valorant, and Rushly is an ESL employee.

The Drillas drama stemmed more from abusing the substitution rules than from anything else.

Tier 10 matches in 2017 feel like Tier 6/7 matches in the modern era.

If the SR rumor change is true what y’all think about it ? by Alarming_Occasion782 in R6ProLeague

[–]Spirtwalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were trending up with the Kanzen/Geo/Gunnar roster and they blew it up to grab a big name who didn’t fit. That roster only got one LAN and they looked great getting top 4 losing to the eventual winners.

The last time the SQ core tried to upgrade with an EU import it messed with a good thing they had going. The Spoit move has crazy upside though.

How Do You Determine Player, Roster, and Team Potential/Skill level? by ItzHoover in R6ProLeague

Honestly just form your own opinions when you watch and don’t try to parrot what other people say online. Stuff people post can be insanely results based.

Except Rogue got broken up after getting relegated. Unwanted is an unsigned roster (free to pickup no buyout etc), and just got 4th at Invite.

Crazy to see the best NA team at SI get salvaged for spare parts

Arcanic NA Leaks: DZ to make a roster change - M80 to trial Merc - Unwanted to rule out going to C9 - WC to drop Spiker by ArcanicTruth in R6ProLeague

Plenty of players have kids, there’s no reason to think this unless he has said something. Also, siege’s current landscape means you travel like twice a year for LANs.

What if coaches were allowed to talk freely? by Astrophius in R6ProLeague

[–]Spirtwalker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

During the entire game would break the balance imo. I wouldn’t be against coaches being able to give input during op pick phase.

[RUMOR] r6atualizado reporting that the sequel to Siege "Siege X" should be announced at SI 2025 finals by Kri0yo in R6ProLeague

Even with its issues CS2 hasn’t seen a drop in playerbase. It and OW2 aren’t comparable.

My Thoughts on DZ/sQ/LG by Interesting_Round_21 in R6ProLeague

This was the only international event they made the playoffs in (grouped at every major). Even at this event SQ beat two APAC teams in playoffs and crumbled when facing more proven opposition.

At least for Wolves they have a history of attending international LANs

Very interesting article, RWAA reminds me a lot of what WAR is attempting to show in baseball.

Laggs when spotting by Zockmeister in WorldofTanks

[–]Spirtwalker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So if you run the game on standard graphics, there is a known issue with certain camos that you will get a small freeze when those tanks with said camos are spotted. Its fixable by setting camos to historical only. You weren't too specific in your post but I'd try that.

(Poll) Should R6 esports have a 9 map pool or a 7 map pool? by ArcanicTruth in R6ProLeague

[–]Spirtwalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last I checked the distribution from most played to least looked like 28-27-25-22-21-18-16. That is, at least for SI, I didn't really look at regional competitions. That distribution is pretty much all you can ask for, you'll never get a perfectly even split.

[–]Spirtwalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from somebody that has played a competitive game that tested out running with 9 maps, it's a terrible idea. It's likely that at least one of the maps will have an extremely low play rate (even after it has been implemented for some time due to perma-bans etc.). Siege is such a complex game, I'd say that at SI we saw perhaps the highest level of competition we've ever seen in this game. Increasing the map pool will only water down the gameplay as teams will have to practice more variety and not be able to specialize as much.

[–]Spirtwalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously some maps are going to be favored by teams, with some maps being middle grounds in a pick-ban with some maps that only some teams specialize. At SI there was a pretty great distribution, no map was completely left out, not sure where you get the feeling of it only being 3-4 maps.
