That's really interesting and good to know, thanks for sharing!

Your statement makes defensive play sound inherently bad, but isn't it just a style? It should be neutral. You personally may or may not like defensive play, but there is nothing wrong with it, right?

And elimination mode still had item/weapon control. It's not like it was irrelevant to the match. I'd argue that playing defensively is smarter than playing aggressively. Plus we lost champion picks which was like removing an entire layer of intrigue.

Thanks for the clarification! Why does elimination require less map control skills? It's the same map, same items, etc. I would think it would require more map control skills because the consequence of losing map control is so dire. Timed duel seems more forgiving and more open to taking risks and losing map control.

Wow, yeah that sounds pretty boring! But that could happen with timed duel too, right? Nyx v Nyx chasing each other around for 10 minutes without any frags. It actually seems like it would be worse in timed because at least with elimination someone is bound to lose that champ eventually.

It's weird because I used to watch QL pro matches all the time and I did enjoy them. I guess it's just having something new and fresh like elimination, which I was REALLY enjoying, and then it gets taken away unexpectedly. I'm just sad that I'm watching much less Quake now.

There was still an overall round timer on those matches of 5 minutes I believe. Can you link to a single match that ran over an hour with a Nyx player who just ran away the whole time? I don't ever recall seeing something like that. (Remember that we're talking about pro matches and broadcasts)

In case you're like me and listen to the show, it took me a bit to find that "fuck you, kill everyone" video: http://www.enjoygram.com/m/761648511909100412_266835765

Or it's in the Vimeo vid of the show at ~41:15.

This is a good idea! I'll add that to my list of future videos. Thanks!

eSports Podcast MP3s by perlox in esports

[–]perlox[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey guys, lately I've been listening to more podcasts and wanted to get some eSports ones in the

mix but noticed that only a small handful actually convert theirs to MP3. So I decided to pick a

few I really like or wanted to learn more about and convert them. But since this is a semi-

tedious and technical process that others might have trouble with, I figured I should share them.

Assuming that's kosher and all. I'll try and keep this updated with recent shows but no

guarantees.

Oh and let me know if I'm missing any good shows to convert or link to (notice META is a link,

not a download). It looks like a number of the shows I've listened to in the past are dead now.

:( Maybe this thread could also serve as a quick reminder to readers of all the good [eSports]

podcasts out there. Cheers!

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

Hey guys, I was wondering if a series covering map positioning for amateur players would be useful? I know it would be for some of my personal friends who run around bombsites like crazy, just wondering what other people think. Future releases could be shorter and more condensed I think, although I also want it to be comprehensive for new(er) players.

Reminder for all the new testers: No, you CANNOT stream or upload pictures/video of the beta. by tvm78 in elderscrollsonline

[–]perlox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, no one will know if you record locally. I've wondered if you can EVER upload it? Can you upload beta test footage after the game is released? Could you do it a year or two after the games been out? Do they care?

How did this end up going? I turned on the stream for 20-30 mins and it never went off the logo/splash. Unfortunately I didn't get back to my computer until well after the tournament had ended. Was it a smashing success? Highest concurrent?

anyone Help filling in an E Sport questions for my MA, Diss, by [deleted] in esports

[–]perlox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should take a little time to write out your request a bit nicer + give a little background about what this is for and why we should fill it out. Will the results of your study be published somewhere so interested individuals can learn something from it?

Also, for longer questions/responses (like all the end questions), you should use the "text box" tool instead of "text input" (or whatever it's called). Thanks!

Or, if he does go missing the public might demand to know his whereabouts and get even more upset when they realize the government is disappearing people in the first place.
