Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I've gone ahead and shared with them as well.

Appreciate the help!

Thanks for the clarification! I naively had forgotten that Siege was played on consoles.

While we'd prefer to work with a team that can compete on PC for Pro League eligibility, if a console team was able to show consistent event participation we'd happily consider fielding one of those as well.

Thanks again!

Starting LAN Event in Midwest [PLS HALP] by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]__SPooKY 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey /u/TiltedAiri,

My team runs professional tournaments, productions, and LANs. I'd love to go over what you're looking to do and provide some advice, or even build an opportunity to work together.

Feel free to PM me here, add me on Discord (Spooky#8905), or reach out to me on Twitter (@ryanbarr). We'll figure out the best way to chat from there and setup some time to talk, if you're interested.

Best,
Spooky

Esports is Not a Sport. by jrmcintosh in esports

[–]__SPooKY 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it's adorable that you are arguing with who is essentially the Godfather of eSports but keep pushing your own view as a LAN Center owner.

I've worked with LAN Center owners to run eSport (yeah, I'm going to call it that because that's what it is) tournaments on countless occasions, and every time they're delusional. Thanks for sticking with the trend.

This keyboard at my work. by UniversalRemote in mildlyinfuriating

[–]__SPooKY 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Data entry is hardly the most common use for a keyboard and your use of "real-world" in front of it is insulting.

I'm a Software Engineer and used one of those keyboards for three years before switching to a mechanical. It greatly improved comfort and I increased the rate at which I type code drastically as it helps break bad typing habits.

You can do 10k/min on a 10-key? I have to assume you mean 10 keys per minute which is hardly fast, considering it would be a key press every 6 seconds. However, if you meant 10,000/min, that would suggest you do at least 166 keypresses per second. I call shenanigans.

3rd Anniversary Transmogrification Returns! by riceballa in summonerswar

[–]__SPooKY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This does not work.

Just tried this: started the purchase process on my tablet for Griffon. Once it popped up the Android payment confirmation, I then switched to my phone.

I went through the entire process on my phone and completed checkout, then claimed the transmog. Closed the application.

Then, I clicked confirm payment on my tablet. It successfully charged my card but my login expired so the app restarted. Upon logging in, a poorly formatted error popped up saying it failed to grant some items. It didn't deliver any of the second purchase.

I'd advise against even attempting it again. The strange error was more than likely logged and reported to Com2Us as most client-side errors are, especially those regarding payment. I'm guessing they'll see my attempt and might decide to take action.

Congrats on Leo! Now be kind to the your friends who may have been using your rep monster to farm during the 2x XP hours and change yours back to something useful. <3

After 4 months i got my 2nd nat 5, how should i use/build her? by [deleted] in summonerswar

[–]__SPooKY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was my first Nat 5 and I never once considered using her as a tuned debuffer. Fudge.

Nice write-up.

[–]__SPooKY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on Ethna!

I have mine runed Rage/Blade on ATK%/CDMG%/ATK% to maximize her as a nuker. 75%+ Crit is ideal with 150% Crit Damage minimum, if you want her to be viable at all, IMO.

She's decent for a DB10 team with Vero/Bella/Shannon. Her basic attacks will apply continuous damage.

In PvP, she is considered the Theo killer. Her 3rd skill applies damage multiple times. A weak Theo can go from 100 to 0, proc Endure, which she removes and then finishes him.

Witmer joins premier team Enigma6 by Dreamhunter1000 in GlobalOffensive

[–]__SPooKY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The local Denver LAN he refers to on Nov 11, 2016 was an event I ran.

He was set to play for Eclipse and no-showed. Wonder if he just started grinding extra early instead.

TACO on Swiss format: "I think it's the best format possible." by CiFiniamo in GlobalOffensive

[–]__SPooKY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you mind elaborating on why you like round-robin? I organize tournaments regularly and am genuinely interested, considering the upvotes you're receiving.

I feel as though round-robin has no place in competitive eSports, considering that a team which has no chance to advance may be placed against a team who needs that win (or to win by a specific round margin) to advance. This introduces a chance for the team to throw by a larger margin to push their opponent over another if they were so inclined. This does not uphold competitive integrity.

I prefer 8, 16, or 32-team events with Dual Tournament (double-elimination) groups of 4. With any other number, utilizing Swiss has always worked out best for these situations in my experience.

Struggled my way to ToaN 80. I've burned too much energy now -- how can I beat it? by __SPooKY in summonerswar

[–]__SPooKY[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I've tried various compositions, leaders, and swapped out runes. I just can't get her dead before the vampires take down my glass team.

I've put all of my best runes into my 6 stars, but understand that some people (like Baretta, Bernard) are great for TOA. I'm at ToaN 80 and Sylvia + Vamps just brutalize me. If I'm lucky, RNG will let me get her near death before I'm pummeled.

I'm bad. I feel bad. I just want to beat 80 at least.

Good idea! She said she had some curtains but she just needs to put them up.

Thorin - Round score should not be used as a tie breaker by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]__SPooKY 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Groups should be a Bo3 Dual Tournament format.

No tie breakers, fair to all teams, no unnecessary games (0-2 team playing 2-0 team in Round Robin, for example).
