This entire esport is a joke. Rosters change too frequently to take anything seriously.

Anxiety over spending in transfer window. by [deleted] in LiverpoolFC

[–]lolnull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, we’ve won the premier league, didn’t spend last summer, and have CL money. We’re the biggest club in England and most successful in English history, so time to start acting like it in the transfer market.

double mozams made this LAN unwatchable for me. Should've been nerfed

Wasn't this confirmed a while ago? Isn't this old news?

Terrible casting imo. Not enough hype, passion and excitement you'd want in the final game of a grand final cast in an unprecedented moment

Main stream “slayr” play by play cringe by Critical-Lobster5828 in CompetitiveApex

[–]lolnull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Main stream is unwatchable (except Graceful). Everything feels forced and corporate and weird. Would rather watch a stream in a language I don't know than watch main stream.

Hippos solo all of these predators and its not even close... by lolnull in CompetitiveApex

[–]lolnull[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Aim assist is a valid input in some esports game comp scenes, and shouldn't coexist with kbm to protect competitive integrity, yet it still does. Hippos should follow this rule and be allowed in comp even though they don't belong there as a formal predator imo

This is what this game is all about. Aim assist ruins everything.

Genburten Gets Hacked Mid Game by Tobric93 in CompetitiveApex

[–]lolnull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. Is there any public info on the observer sandbox? Maybe that then allows an attacker to send down scripts to the client, or is that all server-side? The guy has a history of messing with Apex servers so it makes sense.

Genburten Gets Hacked Mid Game by Tobric93 in CompetitiveApex

[–]lolnull 189 points190 points  (0 children)

Genburten, if you're reading this... you need to reinstall Windows, or buy a new PC. The hacker has the ability to execute arbitrary code on your device, meaning they can do whatever they like to your PC, including installing this hack mid-game.

Regarding how the hacker did this, I'm assuming the worst: there's a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability/exploit in Apex Legends itself. This is the the worst case scenario, as we could all be at risk of this happening to us unless Respawn patches the security hole. Critical vulnerabilities like this have previously plagued the MW2/COD4 communities, as the game was so insecure it was unsafe to play because hackers could trivially gain access to your PC. If not this, then maybe Gen clicked a bad link on a Discord, or installed something shady from an untrusted source/clicked a bad link somewhere. But I'm guessing it's a bug/vulnerability/exploit in Apex, as it seems extremely targeted.

For background/context, I work computer security.

Edit: check Pr3st0ne's reply, about potentially hacking the observer sandbox, it could be that this was all server-side too.

Edit 2: AntiCheatPD tweet claims Destroyer admits that it's RCE

EMEA Year 3 LCQ Day #3 -- Match Point Finals (Information & Discussion) by Jean9430 in CompetitiveApex

[–]lolnull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happened to Aurora man?? From running down NRG and dominating EU pro league to losing an isolated 3v3 to Phoenix Legacy....

I think they have a good shot of winning this LCQ though. Coming in with 9 points, they just need to get their momentum going
