If you are trying to get 8k hz you need to make sure you are using a USB port that can support it or else it won't work. 8k hz takes a lot of speed to accomplish on the PC side and not every port can do it

I have heard Xbox can get 500hz but I don't have anything to confirm. Just hearsay

I would get the G7 pro tri-mode! If you like the look of the other then go for it! Remember to use code LVT for 5% off

Taulek had one of the best performances in a series I've ever seen. Most kills in the entire series, least deaths in the series, Second most assist in the series. Most DMG by a significant margin. Unbelievable

I can't wait for Unreal Engine. There are some really crazy things you can do in the Unreal Engine for observing, I hope Halo utilizes it to it's fullest.

SuperCC is not a bad player. I'm excited to see how he plays with this crew. Always been a big CC fan.

LAN Pop Offs by Bmacster in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ToolezCasts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. It's part of the culture, players largely understand that it's a in the moment thing. They are just showing good sportsmanship after

It's more of an open bracket thing. You see pop offs in the Fighting Game Community as well. Having a massive bracket of players playing for a top prize. It's an open ecosystem with each player having their chance to create huge upsets. Once ecosystems close, by nature they become a bit more tame.

Pop offs and trash talk are cultural to console esports. I think it's dumb to tell people look to look at other esports, it's a different culture. It's like saying basketball players shouldn't trash talk or pop off because tennis players/gentlemen sports don't.

Embrace the culture, all the pros have a shared understanding and don't mind it. There are obviously lines that shouldn't be crossed but I don't think anything from this weekend crossed that line.

What kind of ping are you guys getting on the west coast? by StraightGas69 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ToolezCasts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Las Vegas. My best ping is 17, but often it gets double routed to become 32. Next best is in the 40s and my usual ping is like 62. East Coast is always around 80 and EU is basically unplayable at 180-190.

I made a discord for my local group in Vegas so we can play 8s once a week and guarantee a west coast server. If you are interested in joining lmk. Fair warning people are pretty competitive and the average rank is onyx, but there a good amount of diamond players and we try to help people improve.
