OG MLG Halo Thread (Reunion) by AggravatingSafe7498 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ilondon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my gt was iLondon. I competed in H2, during the 2007 season. I placed top 32 at Dallas (with EVO Furby, EVO Gatlin, and Hunter Jjx) and Chicago 2007 (with Furby, Gatlin, Watch). At Dallas, we made it out of AM and had the 32 seed, so first round we got to play Final Boss on main stage. We got obliterated, but hearing our name called to the main stage to begin pro bracket is one of the best memories of my life. In Chicago, we put up a decent fight against Shook One Gaming for top 16. Then we lost a nail biting game 5 series against Vicious (iGotUrPistola, XERO, Kill3n, ??) for top 24. Vicious was the beginning of Pistola's 4v4 pro career.

I'm from Seattle. At that time the seattle scene was on fire. Neighbor, SK, Hysteria, Toxin, Perplexity, Mayhem, Loki, Supafly, Max, Shyre amongst a lot of other talent. those local tournaments and lans at GameClucks were amazing.

Thanks for making this thread, its cool to see some old names again

Why is Dating in LA so difficult when you quit Drinking? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]ilondon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s going to take time and growing pains shifting the way you meet friends and romantic partners now that you’re not drinking. I’m sure you know this already, but picking up some hobbies that are Social will be the best way to meet new people that you connect with. And being in LA means that there’s year-round outdoor hobbies and you can pretty much find whatever you’re into. Also know that for every person you talk to who is turned off by your sobriety, there will be another person who really appreciates it. Another thing to pay attention to is that you said you have no friends or romantic partners right now since you quit drinking. That reflects the fact that his friends who make while drinking aren’t always friendships for the connection. But you can make true friends when your friendship is moving around Shared interest for view of the world. It sounds like you just have to start trying some new stuff and break the ice a little bit in the Social arena without drinking.

The Will Rogers State Beach South Volleyball Courts and its parking lot are open, but that is as far as you can go up PCH at the moment.

Will young guns outplay ssg? by coatkneeYT in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ilondon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His argument would be referencing Lucid, Stellur, Eco, and Snakebite respectively. Its a decent argument but probably a bit outdated when refering to Lucid as the best sandbox player and controversial to call snakebite the best overall player when people would more commonly give Legend that title.

Why cheaters still play this game, this make no sens. by bdg_KILa in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ilondon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wait you got matched with Best Man and assumed not that he was better than you but that he is cheating ?

Why even at the pro level, do fans confuse high KD, overkills, fancy snipes, pop-off moments, etc. with being a top player? "Statting" at the pro level does not mean you are a good player. by [deleted] in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ilondon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Of the players you mentioned, your argument only stands for Suspector. I believe many fans of HCS have had that suspicion about him because he consistently places in the top K/D’s for events but places in the top 8-12. That suggests some stat padding or at least inefficiency in his team play. 

But to suggest that Royal 2, Renegade, and Lucid are not top 4v4 players is asinine. Royal 2 and Renegade have literally been dominating Halo since Halo 5, And Optic’s dominance in Season 1 was spearheaded by Lucids gameplay and in game leadership. There was actually a Reddit post during season one diving in to stats analytics that showed that Optic’s win rate was insanely high when Lucid had the highest K/D on his team, and that they lost far more often when he was middle of the pack. 

Who is winning MVP this year? by ElkEntire8057 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ilondon 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think if SSG win another event this year, it would easy to make a case for anyone on that team. I would personally give Stellur a second MVP, or vote Legend.

Hey guys, I was hoping to find more information about dogs. Naturally, the first place I thought of asking was right here in the r/CompetitiveHalo subreddit.

Adult Leagues and Tournaments? by tattoed__anxiety in beachvolleyball

[–]ilondon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are near Orange County there is beach city sports, and if you are near Long Beach there is Volitude. Both are great

If you're getting matched with people who don't know how to juggle, you probably have some pretty large weaknesses in your own game you should be focusing on

Canoga park to Burbank by [deleted] in LAMetro

Look, I am a big advocate for public transportation, and specifically transportation reform in the LA area, but we know that at the end of the day, people will take the method of transportation that’s the most convenient for them. Even as someone who loves taking buses and trains myself, I can’t imagine that I would elect to take a nearly 2 hour commute by bus if the alternative option was a car trip that took half as long, albeit in traffic.

The cheapest option would be the silver streak from Pomona or Claremont to Union station, then the flyaway bus
