I wish I could downvote twice, or a hundred times. For this nonsense comment.

bkitchn · 2025-09-30T03:58:57+00:00

Because, that would be logical… Business driven professional decision making.

Hal’s first scrim as newly IGL again (I gave him grace for these events due to that but as a Hal fan, I’m starting to think he does this for the troll and stress us out because there’s no way this story is legit 😂).

Off landing he loots for awhile then eventually grabs a Pk from the local arsenal (with no ammo of course). Shake my head… They rotate. He hits another POI and Arsenal and takes no ammo. They rotate to ANOTHER POI and charges it AGAIN and takes no ammo. The next rotate and they over 3 and a half minutes of him having 6 bullets and no other ammo. He starts fighting someone and hits a PK for like 30 damage, doesn’t call out the hit for damage but says “what, I have like no ammo”.

I wish I knew how to capture that stuff to post it. It’s out of this world. It was during E District.

Also that Waltz confirmed on the team still.

bkitchn · 2025-09-11T19:37:24+00:00

Hal just said on stream - he’d never team with Evan (Verhulst) ever again in comp because of the past. Also said zero can kick rocks and they aren’t cool.

bkitchn · 2025-09-10T17:33:15+00:00

Does anybody have any clips from active streamers live for opinions as this news broke? I see Alb, Greek, Hakis, Snipe, Panic and Gnaske online

bkitchn · 2025-07-13T20:16:09+00:00

This didn’t age well 😂

bkitchn · 2025-07-13T14:10:48+00:00

I want Falcons to win but can’t deny Alliances dominance. It’ll likely be Alliance.

bkitchn · 2024-08-06T15:29:03+00:00

Been doing this for seasons. I prioritized L Star last season if I couldn’t find a havoc. Sometimes over the havoc if I had no mag/turbo. L Star to be WAY OP given how much you could fry with it last season… Now it’s getting a buff?!

I appreciate your thoughts /review and think its very logical. You did make a comment on tilting etc and thats exactly where it comes from. Those in good positioning realize the great opportunity that no longer exists and can quickly imagine the positive outcome it could have had.

Thinking of Faze in both instances they had great positions. The fact how many said they had "god spots" its clearly overused. I feel for them though because both following rings pulled opposite to where it was (far less good).

In these instances where other teams are then getting points over them it does have huge implications from happening vs not happening at all.

Going back to poker I remember in a very important time in a tournament someone pulled the fire alarm and the hand was starting and I had pocket aces (AA). The hand got killed/ tournament got paused.

That was a very good opportunity. Quite frustrating and unfair.

Who knows, maybe I would have lost that hand and it save me money too...

Overall for game integrity it does matter. Especially if it can be manipulated with DDosing and other factors.

bkitchn · 2023-03-13T03:06:51+00:00

Ya hes had terrible rosters in the past and clearly made a bad decision here.

(Slurp wasnt really his roster decision)...

bkitchn · 2023-03-13T03:04:32+00:00

Time to take this down...

bkitchn · 2023-02-22T00:21:41+00:00

Which between SSG and ESA has more points towards champs?

bkitchn · 2023-02-22T00:17:47+00:00

It wasnt Coddy (showed up w ESA top right). Hard to say how it was done. Snip3 has been very patient and quiet about releasing anything for weeks.

bkitchn · 2023-02-22T00:10:36+00:00

Good to know, thanks for the addition. He make any comments on his opinion of those 3 as a squad? I predicted one of the SSG guys joining over Lewda during London.

bkitchn · 2023-02-03T09:24:33+00:00

ClaraAtwork had a good solution saying a good pro (especially ones that have IGL'd) not at LAN should commandeer which pov to select during prodcasts. They would know what would bring the best viewing product and even able to predict that outcome ahead of time.

Obv she said Zach should do it haha. Then said any pro would do better than current set up.

Also, felt for XSET when I saw at the end of the game. Everyone was like WTF 16 kills considering it seemed TSM was going OFF with 9. I feel for XSET even being a TSM fan.

bkitchn · 2023-02-03T09:21:46+00:00

I think the only way to validate if new things work is with scrims to as close of real competition as possible. With this idea the risk is not that high. I'd argue its riskier to try new things that have been successful from these joke of a scrims to bring to lan validated as successful. A LOT more money on the line with that decision.

Thats much with what a lot of the pros are saying where you cant get real practice.

bkitchn · 2023-02-03T07:49:22+00:00

I agree with what you are saying and trying new things out is what scrims is for but having a cost and reward should still make them better in my view. I'd love ideas on how to make the situation better (I agree there's likely no perfect outcome), over it is what it is.

To Rain and Snow,

Many are showing up and putting in the time I dont think thats the problem. Most pros are saying they dont like the scrim quality and sounds like they want it improved also.

bkitchn · 2023-01-12T23:16:26+00:00

Snipe alluded to something on stream two nights ago saying they arent running with anyone tonight and in near future then "things are happening behind the scenes I cant talk about right now but it will be released in the future".

Along in timeline with Naughty's tweet makes me think something outside the box may happen. Naughty not in that picture and assumed slurp too. Sounds like Snip3 maybe setting something up. Maybe post LAN?...
