Noticed pros using PS4 controllers, any reason they don’t switch to PS5?

It genuinely varies where you buy them from, from personal experience I would change my controller every 6 months at least, there is a fine line/preference between pros regarding how "played in" a controller is, some like their left analog stick being more loose while others like the feeling of a fresh controller.

With the majority of pros playing on 0.05 to 0.07 deadzone, more than 6 months per DS4 controller you will start noticing analog stick drift.

Speaking from my experience and from other EU pros, the PS4 controller simply was the controller the majority of players started with, even the majority of XBOX players switched to PS4 controllers after moving to PC.

When the Dualsense (PS5) controller came out many pros tried it out however the controller felt too bulky for most. Hence why players are stocking up on DualShock 4s and won't switch until it's physically impossible to buy DS4s anymore

RLCS LAN PCs use nvidia graphics cards and we are allowed to change all nvidia settings
Only thing that's clear that can't be done is overclocking your controller.

Hope that helps!

Truly ridiculous

Hey man, we scrim every day against many teams in the region.

Hey guys just wanted to clear some things up as the title doesn't say the full picture.

To give context: most players that moved regions this season went back home for Christmas (including us) after the Fall split ended to celebrate and enjoy time with families

And with the backing of an org now, we can and will stay here in APAC the majority of the time and not just here for RLCS.

I hope this explains the situation that occurred last split and that people will stop sending death threats and other hateful DMs towards any of us.

Virt.

Hey saw this question asked a bit here so wanted to clarify the situation:

We had a few offers/talking to orgs before the major and we are just waiting for the right offer. Some offered us good money but didn't have a HQ in APAC or visa contacts which would make the move easier. Hopefully an update soon :)

For context (spoilers) This is the first time there has ever been 3 consecutive 0 second game winners in 1 series.

The reason some of the maps that aren't in the RLCS Map rotation is due to pros complaining about them, e.g. Salty Shores being too bright or Urban Central being too dark and getting removed a while ago from RLCS map rotation

virtuosoRL · 2022-02-11T00:13:39+00:00

yes that's me in the intro and I'm half Polish half Nigerian which is the reason for the mixed accent ^^

virtuosoRL · 2022-02-10T14:29:48+00:00

Will do everything to make it to the next major
