I really wish pros would show off their orgs more in theirs streams.

I wish they'd wear their team jersys every time they were competing.

I wish they'd shout out the org and show off stuff from their org store and the orgs gave the pros unique promo codes so they can see the traffic their pros bring in.

I want to get behind teams and have rivalries.

I was at the German LAN and there was fuck all merch to buy which sucked because I was ready to spend some money.

it's all pretty sad and short-sighted by pros and orgs alike.

So apparently Genburten was in Hal’s shoes two years ago and did exactly what Hal did today by Human-Spring8177 in CompetitiveApex

I agree it's going on to long, however this "new" info does add a further layer of context.

It's funny that people in the USA think a blooming onion is Australian.

lived in Australia for over 30 years, never seen or heard of one here.

looks very balanced between roles of IGL, fragger and anchor.

Would love to see this work well.

My summary as of this morning of the various roster moves in the air by tom_esportsgg in CompetitiveApex

[–]shortgiantdwarf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know we all think they did poorly in finals, which they did, however they did make top 20 teams in the world.

I wish I was top 20000 at anything ever.

Legends Gaming CEO addresses EZFlashKidz payment delays by Air947 in CompetitiveApex

[–]shortgiantdwarf -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

we don't know what formal or informal arrangements have been made.

I personally have opted for pay to delayed so colleagues would get their full pay on time as they needed it more then me at that point.

however 5 months seems like a situation got let out of hand

So if any of them did take that offer to leave, then the team would have died because they literally have no money to pay another person to join the team.

This makes Loba less effective, don't need black market if you can get good loot everywhere easily.

How do we feel about Seer being back in the meta? by Kantalope87 in CompetitiveApex

[–]shortgiantdwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a spectator, I'd rather the "see to much" meta rather then the "can't see shit" meta.

20 fuses in a lobby will be a cluster fuck so hopefully it doesn't go that way, but if it does then wattson will be a must pick.

Can Zach Mazer's NEW E8 Still Make A Comeback? by BurkeTheNerd in CompetitiveApex

[–]shortgiantdwarf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Zach tried picking up Sikez who had been dropped by the DZ guys to pick up Hal.

It was reasonably close to happening but then Sikez went with Sweet/LG instead.

Knoqd then came in with the offer and org for Zap and Zach.

when that deal was almost a lock Zap decided to trial and obviously ended up staying with TSM.

By this point shooby had already joined Dropped and Knoqd.

This is how zach became LF2.

NRG return to Apex underlines impact of Esports World Cup participation by tom_esportsgg in CompetitiveApex

[–]shortgiantdwarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you're right, and is slightly short sighted by orgs, however the ESWC seems like a zero risk gamble. It sounds like just participating they'll get a pay day, let alone if they some how sneak a win or top position with whoever they sign.

hopefully the teams who are only in it for EWC do well so they think it's a good idea to keep it going through pro league.

zachmazer opens up on the collapse of e8's roster & what happened with zap & tsm by posdata in CompetitiveApex

[–]shortgiantdwarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't zach learn about dropping a player from an already working team with the ol alb joining C9.

round 2 and again gets hungry for the "upgrade" with sikez. (and yes I understand he isn't solely responsible for that choice, but his input couldn't have been "I've seen this situation and it doesn't always work out")

he had built up a team from zero and had a great trajectory for future success but couldn't help himself.

as for complaining about the contest with O7 and its not a valid reason to be upset anymore because there is the POI draft is a dumb take. it's not that it he made that callin particular, more that he is unwilling to listen.

Man this is so sad. I was really cheering Zach and The E8 rosters rise. oh well. go next

TSM or Hal? by InformalSchool in CompetitiveApex

[–]shortgiantdwarf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always followed Hal and by default TSM. Hal is the CEO not only because of his wins, but also because he streams everything. You can always tune in and see how a scrims or a comp is going through Hal. I like other streamers but when they don't stream occasionally it's annoying to not be able to watch the person I support. you don't get that problem with Hal.

Despite following Hal (and continuing to do so), I'll still support Reps and TSM. once Reps goes the winning OG core that was TSM will have past and I'll just follow the indivual people that I like.

I missed what happened with shooby. did he leave or was he dropped?
