i started typing these and got a little carried away, pretty entertaining meme to think about

im just imagining young thug playing roamer and doing most bizarre plays imaginable but somehow killing the med
lil b would be the one guy in the pub who’s willing to play med (highly based)
earl would be a depressed soldier or med main
yung lean would play pyro in tf2center
i feel like wu tang would be like an entire crew that for some reason is super into bball
eminem would absolutely be a sniper or spy main who everyone hates (leaky?)
drake would be a pub stomper who thinks he’s hot shit but refuses to play comp, whilst calling himself a comp player
jpegmafia would be an invite player who tries his hardest to shit on drake and expose him for how bad he is
lil wayne would literally just be habib
2chainz would be the absolute stupidest player on the planet but who has hilarious shit talk (prob a roamer or flank scout)
not rly a rapper but j dilla would totally be the type of guy who watches demos and plays the game all day and invents some crazy shit (maybe a roamer with sick jumps or timings)
feel like boldy james would be a demo main with mad smooth aim and hits nasty shots but doesn’t react (“meds dead, whatever”)
westside gunn would be a demo main who goes apeshit (“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM”) after he gets a kill but isnt actually good
feel like curren$y would just be rekuso barred out playing pugs in slow mo
i can totally see vince staples saying ‘give demo a glock’ lmao
aesop rock would be some crazy surfer or jumper main who doesn’t speak ever and is an enigma
im dying thinking about travis being a roamer main who just screams ITS LIT every time he hits an airshot

wait i think ur onto something

spello made a little video of dante mad long ago and it has a perfect encapsulation of the mge movement squid was talking about (and funny enough its him killing squid in the timestamp): https://youtu.be/AbZRdUjgNIk?t=44

would love to hear squids thought on that original HRG team with anonemouse/loronix/dante
i played w spello and mgib who were both good friends with those guys and theyd tell me stories about loronix's crazy training regimen and shit like that but idr the details

wasnt gonna (do an actual) post here but i saw some shit like this on twitter as well and its so ignorant to assume shit like this, its just pretending u know everything behind the scenes and making up whatever narrative u can to frame the guy u dont like (banny) in a negative light

if it wasnt obvious enough, (afaik) they asked plenty of other meds but weren't able to find people interested, simple as that

i also heard some conspiracy type shit about how 'banny purposefully chose hubida cuz nursey mentored him!', like im sorry but if u seriously believe shit like this idk what to even tell u

not to say im defending him in any way, from mopsys post it seems like the dude has some definite transphobic shit going on and methinks those underlying views/biases will take a while to fully go away even if he is trying to change

wake up babe new mustard poast

i dont even like seafood but clam chowder is kinda just objectively yummy (boston propaganda etc etc)

the real mans move is to sear it (w salt n pepper ofc) then baste in butter w/ garlic & rosemary

playing med for 10 seasons in invite has transformed me into a full blown Wackaloon

After playing a season with him I can definitely say Darwin Deserves. Fr tho he was one of the easiest soldier partners I've had, always followed up on my bombs or created sick opportunities for me to follow up on. In clutch moments he consistently made plays to force or drop the med and bailed us out of so many catastrophic scenarios that would've lost the round. He is clearly very eager to learn the game at an invite level, I think he pretty much just needs to get better about knowing when to push the flank while the combo is pushing and not going slightly too early or delaying slightly too long to watch for back caps, but I feel like on an invite team he would very quickly adapt and find the timings.

Gameplay aside he was also an exceptional teammate, super nice to be in mumble with, ego never got in the way, always asking for feedback, and consistent positive presence in mumble (especially important when everyone else on the team thought we were going to die/didn't care to try because it looked like playoffs wasn't possible, got us to keep our heads in the game and keep trying).

I also have a lot of respect for him for his mental game, he did have that one process match with a bad stat line but we had a ringer main caller and people were tilting, it was definitely not his fault he was just the one who suffered the most from the shitty team play. Playing and streaming almost every match and being able to turn up and perform while a hundred people are watching you is definitely not easy, I've played 10+ seasons of invite and didn't particularly care what people thought but I still 'feared' out and turned my stream off halfway through a game cuz I was worried it would make me play worse. He turned up and airshot the shit out of skeez at lan as well lol, definitely performs under pressure. Also despite wonder posting all that cringe on his thread he doesn't even hold anything against him, I would be fuckin livid lmao, have to respect the fact that he was the bigger man and even became friends with him and asked him for advice and shit, shows he really wants to improve and be above the drama.

Not as pertinent to the global ruleset discussion but for NA ruleset, I like the two halves + golden cap ruleset a lot better than having single halves that can be 45 mins or longer, it's just deteriorating and makes more sense to let players have a break in the middle and re-strategize. Breaks between golden cap are nice as well, sure teams can pause and take a break but that doesn't happen in practice. The extended 'comeback time' functions pretty much the same as half times, but doesn't give players a break and in my experience can be pretty exhausting on LAN and in scrims pre-lan. I may be biased as medic requires a lot more concentration and you can never let your guard down, so it feels a lot longer, but I think it applies for every class.

Of course for playoffs and tournaments there needs to be some time constraints but for RGL regular season for example I would much prefer to try the shorter round timer with the existing 2 halves + golden cap ruleset. For spectators I feel like it's also simpler, you know each half is going to be 30 minutes and then the golden cap is the overtime, having an overtime with multiple points would be a bit confusing (and would lead to very long matches if combined with the two halves system)

looks like it doesnt have anything about these changes though lol, have to write them in additional comments section

respect for keeping the team alive and striving to improve as a squad despite two 0-18 seasons
