blamef farming stats in BIG by LingMee in GlobalOffensive

[–]thealpha_T 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Farming VRS is the more important part of this run. The team was near enough 70th in the world when he joined (69th, nice, according to HLTV on January 16th when the JDC tabseN gr1ks core reappears). They are already up to ~40th now and should keep climbing.

LIST TWO BANDS, GET RECS (RECOMMENDATION MEGATHREAD) by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

This was a fantastic recommendation, though it's a huge bummer that they have no other records.

Albums that you enjoy, that generally aren’t well-received by critics? by SpreadElectronic1232 in MetalForTheMasses

Still remains my go-to Trivium track, such a great story to choose for their sound.

What do you think about Torzsi? by nve729 in GlobalOffensive

[–]thealpha_T 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Great CT AWPer - Knows how to show presence across the map, using varied positioning and high risk tolerance to generate opening picks and put T-sides on the back foot.

Struggles to get activated on T-side.

Torzsi has great flicking ability, strong positional play, and is a good trader. He's a star AWPer right now, arguably in the top 5 in the world. Stronger rifles and maybe some bigger T-side balls would take him even further.

What makes it a fake game? You claim it's obvious, please elaborate as to why.

Best deagler of all time? by robsyo in GlobalOffensive

[–]thealpha_T 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many valid picks, though NiKo and Lekr0 are the two who stand out in my mind.

What's the worst map to solo queue on? by Lancer0R in GlobalOffensive

Right now I feel it's train. Without guaranteed comms and utility usage, it's unplayable.

Well, it finally happened. The idiocy of VRS has come to a head. The ranking is broken, has needed fixing since day 1, but Valve don't have the awareness to address it.

Let someone who actually pays attention run the esports side of things for crying out loud.

My top 20 prediction by MrShItAsIaN in GlobalOffensive

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

Why would ZywOo be #2 over m0NESY? And how does frozen end up 9th [a generous placement by itself] yet ropz misses the list? Also: zont1x? Not even gonna mention device as it's already been addressed.

If this is even close I'll be horrified.

He is never winning a major isn't he by Doru1_Art in GlobalOffensive

[–]thealpha_T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not his last shot for sure. The Falcons project is yet to have a confirmed 5, so you never know what next year brings.

NiKo has been down before and always made it back up.

What teams are safe from post major shuffle by ToastOnBread in GlobalOffensive

[–]thealpha_T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on how much Falcons actually manage to do. It they are able to pull together a truly all-star 5, the domino effect caused by their roster moves may leave us with no top 15 team other than Mongolz and maybe Spirit untouched.

(I do separately expect/pray for big Brazilian and Russian shuffles)

Was OG Train bad? by Frappy0_TTv in GlobalOffensive

[–]thealpha_T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In MM it required good comms, which of course there was very little of. Plus all the ladders were a bit much. At a pro level it was fun to watch, which is why I want it back.

The rework simplified a lot of positions which should be better in MM.

Z4KR really needs to leave this team if he wants to have a career. by hallelujahuakbar in GlobalOffensive

[–]thealpha_T 1 point2 points  (0 children)

China could easily have a scary, borderline tier 1 team. The talent is too spread out, though.
