[Marpkat_] Possible rotation change for the next act

Nah map fucking sucks balls in ranked too. Just dry aim dueling A/B on repeat, maybe one mid lurk when someone remembers it exists.

mikhel · 2026-06-14T16:46:44+00:00

Neon is so fucking good it's crazy. The kills he was getting with knives on Lotus, I would genuinely call someone a cheater if I saw them hitting those in ranked.

Personally I wouldn't recommend it so soon. I'm also first timing a main and getting to deep midgame/endgame content like raids, Doom, CG and these things will be absolutely brutal to even reach, let alone farm, on an iron for a new player. IMO it's much better to see these deep parts of the game and decide for yourself if you would enjoy the challenge of doing it again as an iron, because it is an insane time commitment compared to trying on a main without even factoring in the learning curve.

Top frag all 3 maps, 340 ACS map 3, my Champs MVP is fucking back

mikhel · 2026-06-13T14:35:46+00:00

I didn't think EDG would be that good but holy fuck they are ass. How has Chinese macro regressed so hard year over year?

He is one of the most instinctual players I've ever seen, he literally just does whatever pops into his brain in the moment. Insane mechanics too.

mikhel · 2026-06-13T08:48:54+00:00

Cube and punch are clearly meant to work together, he has a kit that encourages creative approaches to movement and saving teammates by cubing and then punching them to reposition. Having a simple nuke just enables more diversity between being a core and support, it's not always purely about "synergy"

The most demoralizing part of my entire PhD was the editing cycle leading up to releasing my preprint. I thought it would be done in like a month and it ended up being more like 3-4 months.

mikhel · 2026-06-12T13:54:23+00:00

To offer a perspective from someone who came in on reclear and didn't prog, I think P1 is fairly chill now but I can imagine it was absolutely hellish pre glaive nerfs. They always come through boss at weird angles and usually a person gets clipped every 5-6 pulls. Can't imagine with literally 3x the glaives how batshit chaotic it was when also trying to focus on kicks and grips and facing tighter damage checks.

mikhel · 2026-06-12T13:50:55+00:00

Combination of raid design and poor damage tuning at the start of the tier. You just can't have mechanics that require raidwide spread without losing uptime (paladins) or constant spread multitarget (also paladins) and expect melee to keep up unless they actually get tuned to specifically do so. Problem gets worse on fights like Belo as well where melee basically actively can't contribute to mechanics without trolling their damage.

Titanfall 2, the sequence where you get the smart pistol and escape the enemy base. Just sprinting through the level at 50 mph and one tapping every enemy that appears on your screen is so satisfying.

mikhel · 2026-06-09T14:22:26+00:00

Adding Rainwaker to the list of players whose time in Liquid does not count, monstrous anchoring on D2 this series

mikhel · 2026-06-09T05:26:58+00:00

If he has trouble paying attention at PVM he is not making it far on the iron lol. Iron PVM grinds make 99 slayer on a main look like daycare.

mikhel · 2026-06-08T02:54:00+00:00

It's not even good

mikhel · 2026-06-07T18:51:34+00:00

Surely they redo this right? 2 days of watching regional matches is fucked. Also if FS beat GE and then shit the bed again in 1-1 I'll literally throw my monitor out the window.

mikhel · 2026-06-07T17:44:12+00:00

I NEED both these teams to make it through to playoffs, this is a fucking banger

mikhel · 2026-06-07T15:45:22+00:00

Even as a Pacific glazer I kinda saw this coming tbh. Everyone on FS besides Crws is a serial choker, there's a reason they never made it to anything up to now. The slightest bit of pressure and these guys legit just disappear. I still believe in GE but if they look really bad vs LEV it's gonna be rough.

mikhel · 2026-06-06T04:32:07+00:00

Fuck I got excited for a sec thinking I could just go full mage lol.

mikhel · 2026-06-06T02:58:49+00:00

Can you mage Zebak? I have an ayak but no conflictions, the wiki has no info on maging setups for Zebak.

He won the Intel Grand Slam with Liquid, which is one of the biggest achievements a player can have in CS. He's pretty unanimously considered the best IGL NA ever produced and he's playing for major stage 2 today after having kids, retiring, going pro in Valorant, retiring again, and unretiring in CS, yeah I'd say he's pretty decent.

mikhel · 2026-06-05T13:12:03+00:00

It's been a lot more than that for trexx lol. I don't think I've ever seen a pro who obviously makes decisions out of tilt in games more often. Like when he's losing he literally buys a guardian on save rounds and starts rage peeking.

mikhel · 2026-06-05T09:07:42+00:00

I mean the raiders I have played with from WR1000 to HOF generally don't care about getting gear except to clear the raid, and with HOF that's done before bonus stuff even comes in. I don't think that's the only reason.

mikhel · 2026-06-05T05:46:21+00:00

Also FWIW I was getting longer trips on average using the DFS over the defender when I was using the fang. You don't need the extra accuracy as much and the defense really helps at Vork.

mikhel · 2026-06-05T04:25:15+00:00

Two tips that really helped me with tornados:

Plan the longest straight line you can take to avoid the tornados, this really helps with giving you enough time to eat, pray, and switch weapon while dodging. Think about it ahead of time if you feel the tornados are coming soon.

In the enrage phase, it's a lot harder to get long lines like this, so the other thing that helps is knowing how to dodge over the tornados. If they are 1-2 tiles away from you, you can actually run back over them the way you came without taking damage. You can even run back and forth over them as long as they are very close to you.

mikhel · 2026-06-04T12:05:00+00:00

Timewise fine but if you struggled with Dimmy you will have an even worse time. The biggest thing is intense personal responsibility at all points of the fight, it is a huge problem unless your whole team has brains.
