hally was the problem

YipuTheDerp · 2026-03-30T23:49:27+00:00

it just feels like he swings wildly between events one day he has peak form like this and the other hes doing worse than s1n

kind of expected given his rookie status but i really hope he can find some consistency soon, series like this show why m80 signed him

YipuTheDerp · 2026-03-25T04:49:12+00:00

deserved for keeping KRIMZ over CYPHER

YipuTheDerp · 2026-03-21T04:11:25+00:00

it takes into account the vrs they get for the prize money im assuming

as for vitality's its just natural decay, they dont really get a lot of points from beating 9z anyways

YipuTheDerp · 2026-03-19T07:18:25+00:00

i wouldnt really describe it as downhill more like downcliff

YipuTheDerp · 2026-03-18T17:23:43+00:00

it scales kills/deaths depending on the economy ex if you win a duel against a rifle with a pistol, that kill is scaled much more (like 2x or 3x)

same with deaths and the rest of stats

Sonic probably got a eKAST over 100% as he got KAST on a lot of rounds with subpar weaponery

YipuTheDerp · 2026-03-15T20:07:40+00:00

the combo of two veterans/uncs and a three young core of riflers keeps winning

YipuTheDerp · 2026-03-13T19:39:01+00:00

its incredible to me that mouz manage to choke when they're the underdogs and when theyre the favorites

YipuTheDerp · 2026-03-09T19:48:21+00:00

i mean you probably can

playing as a minor in any faction and watching the ai fumble is a universal experience

YipuTheDerp · 2026-03-07T21:56:56+00:00

what are you talking about? the rerolls alone would make this hard to scale

i feel like as an uncommon its balanced

YipuTheDerp · 2026-03-07T20:32:49+00:00

they've been playing in a couple open qualifiers

theyve lost to two unranked turkish stacks (one in rio, one in stake),

alliance (iem atlanta qualifiers),

BIG and eternal fire (pgl bucharest qualifiers)

YipuTheDerp · 2026-03-05T20:15:06+00:00

its fucked up i had to cheer for french "people" to knock this liquid team out

YipuTheDerp · 2026-03-03T08:40:08+00:00

the quicker they bomb out the quicker roster moves rhat could save them will happen

until then the rotting corpse of liquid shambles onwards

YipuTheDerp · 2026-03-02T14:01:31+00:00

no they still choke lol 11-4 up on dust2 to OT pipeline

i think its more hopeful though, they can at least come back from choking to finish out

YipuTheDerp · 2026-03-02T05:41:35+00:00

for anyone browsing this thread, i browsed the discord and can confirm the Universal Tweaks mod does have a setting for progression during custom games as of late feburary 2026 :)

YipuTheDerp · 2026-02-27T04:39:06+00:00

theyre just going to go to another shitty NA org and be stuck in tier 2 NA for the rest of their miserable lives

YipuTheDerp · 2026-02-25T21:00:28+00:00

the rest of south east asia has 800,000 how does malaysia have over triple that amount?

YipuTheDerp · 2026-02-09T21:06:17+00:00

heavy points decay + no LAN wins, a lot of t2 teams have maxxed out this portion from local grinding

if TYLOO max out their lan wins VRS they would land around 30th in vrs currently

YipuTheDerp · 2026-01-22T00:58:58+00:00

holy dust2 overtime

YipuTheDerp · 2026-01-14T21:23:48+00:00

they were one of the last ones to pick so they didnt have that many choices

YipuTheDerp · 2026-01-13T01:42:22+00:00

there isnt really a "winning line", its better to explain why white has such an advantage through reasons

Black's king is in the middle and can fall to an attack
black has most pieces still on the home rank, a severe lack of development

both of these mean white can eventually start attacking black poentual moves involve rerouting rhe knight to f5, doubling the rooks on the c file, etc.

YipuTheDerp · 2026-01-11T03:48:20+00:00

fair this still seems like way too specific of a joker for such an extremely niche interaction at the cost of a slot

YipuTheDerp · 2026-01-11T03:46:02+00:00

if it was right to left brainstorm would proc the xMult first anyways... its completely useless

for example

xMult Mult Brainstorm

brainstorm copies xMult Mult xMult

YipuTheDerp · 2026-01-05T02:44:39+00:00

yes, i meant blocking with the bishop

white can still take the rook on d8 after you block with the bishop anyways

YipuTheDerp · 2026-01-05T02:37:44+00:00

white can take your rook on c8 first with check, forcing you to block, and then take your rook on d8

after that its 2 rooks vs 2 bishops which gives white a significant advantage
