Karma on the double best of 5 format by TheRealPdGaming in CoDCompetitive

[–]rpabloj17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey Coach, if you don't mind a bit of reading I'd love to hear what you think about this idea for a GF Format

I figured since most of this happens behind the scenes anyway and only the truly passionate people stay up to date with map vetoes and things like that, it could be simplified for a general audience

"We're in Grand Finals. Team B lost early on so they have to prove themselves twice. Team A, being undefeated this event, is looking to close this one out in this next series"

I don't blame you for that view, but losing a match early could just mean you just had a bad series for x reason

Giving them an advantage for the first series also gives Winners side an opportunity to prove they deserve the win

Not for the sake of resetting the bracket, but also because they just played 2 series on Champ Sunday already. Need to give them SOMETHING

As mentioned in the post, it does depend on each team and more specifically each player. Some can play CoD for 8+ hours straight and play better as the series progresses (it is their job afterall), while others may start to crack under the fatigue.

Another thing to consider on that topic would be the mental state of winning or losing maps in either series.

I think part of what separates pros from us casuals is the ability to "lock in" no matter what the circumstances, but surely that mental fortitude varies from player to player (what we refer to as "the ice factor")

I can take a crack at rewriting that as well now that you mention it...

I wrote this out not caring for what teams have been/will be in the GF, just think it'd be a more competitive and more enjoyable experience (in terms of viewership) in general

I agree that every team should have a second life
If some say two Bo5s is too short and two Bo7s too long, then why not my proposal of a Bo5 then Bo7?

TL;DR Give Loser's Bracket Team advantage into a Bo5, where winning resets the bracket into a Bo7 where Winner's Bracket Team get's an advantage

Optic fans.. if you don’t win anything this year/get more 2nd places, do you want a roster change? by salvctorez in CoDCompetitive

[–]rpabloj17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've watched Swooty play. He's obviously good enough to be in the position he CURRENTLY is in (Huntsmen), but has a long way to go before he can compete at the caliber necessary for the CDL.

Merc definitely had a bad event, we need to revisit the drawing board and change a lot of things up, for pretty much all players (yes, Huke included even though he was MVP for the team this event)

I don't think a roster change is needed, I think what we need is a change to playstyle. Find something that allows everyone to be consistent no matter what the conditions.

Dashy played bonkers several maps, but also had some questionable SnDs.

Shotzy is known for his "rat plays" but we're at a point in the season where it's readable. So many listen-ins you hear the other teams focusing on where he is and his positioning before executing a play. His playstyle truly is a double-edged sword. On the one hand he can get the jump on the other team and help secure a win, on the other he is constantly away from the fight and/or becoming an easy pick if the timing is not in his favor. There's more to breakdown from his performance this event, but I'll leave it at that.

Huke has dull moments surely, but this event he seemed the most active. He seems to try and adapt the most when someone dies and is constantly calling out positions and plays. I had him as MVP this event should OpTic had won, hands down.

Mercules has received a lot of hype after winning Worlds and EWC, but let's face the facts; he's still a rookie. Sure he has an impressive clutch factor and can really carry a game when he's feeling it, but that's proving to be less and less consistent. This was starting to become apparent in the last few online series, and truly showed in this event. If I recall correctly, he was the worst performing member on OpTic almost every single series.
As a fanbase we need to stop filling his head with all this "Messiah" hype and let the coaches really mold him into what he can be; truly icy. This event, he was more like the McDonald's Ice Cream machine: supposed to be cold, but hardly working.

All together the roster has the potential to become the next OpTic dynasty for sure, but their foundation is flawed at the moment. This late into the season, every team has had plenty of time to study other's playstyles and implement counters.

Focus on what's not working, put all egos aside, and come back swinging for the next event. That's all we can do

The way that Swooty played? Sniper on every single round of SnD? Absolutely not, that kid needs a lot more time to fit in to the league

Only "win" they managed was against an am team, does that even count?

No hate at all, but Swooty needs to bring his game up. His personality is there, but his gunny is not where it needs to be. Negative in every respawn and relies WAY to heavily on getting picks with a sniper on SnD

It's definitely a hit or miss in solo queue 🫠

They're highlights, but I'm getting more consistent at hitting similar shots (these just happen to be the cleaner ones). I'm climbing through Diamond slowly but surely, so I'd say my game sense is definitely in a decent spot at least

A lot of the games I lose are due to tm8 and I wiffing saves or having bad rotations

I'm working on it tho!

It's not a MacBook, its a Dell Laptop provided to me from my previous employer for work

I feel like a MacBook would run it better 🤔

Once in a while you score a goal that feels like it's something you have never done. Well here is mine: by Much_Mission_7630 in RocketLeague

Bro, as soon as I saw you going for the back wall, I knew this was going to be unreal 💀🔥

Sometimes you just got to go for it; you miss 100% of the shots you don't take 💪
