asianriceguy is an insanely good player and definitely strikes me as the kind of guy who would only call someone out for cheating if it was blatant.

It's the part of the hud that shows what classes your teammates are on, how long of a respawn they have, how much HP they have and how many people on the enemy team are dead and what class they were playing when they died.

OS tweaks and minimizing background programs

Ex. Setting a PC to high performance in power options, closing all background programs (chrome, mouse drivers, anti-virus software)

I guess technically you go the hacking route of it and inject lower poly models and replace particles with nothing, very likely to get you VAC banned though and can cause all kinds of bugs; definitely not worth the trouble.

And while technically a config thing, if you really want the max fps you can get make sure you turn off the showfps and netgraph commands along with the match hud.

cl_showfps 0
net_graph 0
tf_use_match_hud 0

If you find you really like having the match hud at times you can bind it to a key to toggle on/off.

bindtoggle KEY tf_use_match_hud 0 1

note: toggling this part of the hud on or off will cause a significant dip in FPS for a short period ~1s.

I'm aware of this, but this isn't how the ambassador was noted in the jungle inferno patch

https://i.imgur.com/EzS0Asy.png

That being said the ingame notes seem to imply that all crits are effected.

Basically the notes say Headshots specifically not all crits, but the ingame description "Critical damage is affected by range" implies all crits.

https://clips.twitch.tv/ResourcefulDeterminedChickpeaMingLee

As can be seen in this clip, I get kritz'd and I hit a 99 damage shot on a scout.

Granted this shot was also a headshot so it may have still done 102 if it wasn't a headshot. Need further testing but seems like a really dumb bug to me.

Things that need to be tested.

1. All ambassador crit shots have damage falloff.
---A. May only apply to shots that have no spread?
2. Ambassador crit boosted headshots are still subject to falloff while crit boosted bodyshots are not.
---A. Do crit boosted headshots beyond 1200 units do non-crit damage?
------I. Do crit boosted headshots beyond 1200 units do full crit damage?
---B. Do crit boosted shots that hit the head hitbox but are not the first no spread shot (thus not technically being
capable of a headshot) are treated like a headshot with falloff or not at all?
3. Do crit boosted shots of any kind do non-crit damage beyond 1200 units?

Let me fix this for you.

Like I would get the argument if you guys dropped down to IM or if you were IM players going into open. Hell I had no issues with you playing open cause 1. you've been gone for so long and 2. you were the only player with that kind of experience.

1 last thing.
True or False. "MrPoPos Newbie Mix" team would have lost vs BLANC and JuJu's team with ANY other scout in OPEN as a replacement for JM.

jm was on backup last season and probably wasn't going to play at all and definitely not become a starter according to Alfa.

Mr.Popo can say whatever about any of the individual rounds, if literally any other scout in open was playing in JM's place for that match they would've lost both maps. While we had issues the only reason those issues were exploited so well was because of JM and Alfa not some established or insane new open/low-im players.

Snakewater JM stats
54 Kills (+19 over the next closest player)
297.1 DPM (+42 over the next closest player Alfa)

Gullywash JM stats
56 Kills (+18 over the next closest player)
331.2 DPM (+17 over the next closest player Alfa)

The vast majority of the "chokes" we had was JM literally out braining/DMing us with support from Alfa.

That's some strawman + cognitive dissonance right there. Talking about why/how a match is lost is exactly how you begin to improve. What was the biggest factor in Blanc's eSports loss? Being outplayed by John Milter. How do we counter that? Better DM , gamesense and teamplay. After that specify things to adjust/practice to improve on those aspects. Does any of that change the outcome of that match? No cause we already lost it and why? John Milter.

-edit-

Also we did improve we played pretty much identical iterations of your team on gullywash 2 weeks apart and went from losing 5-2 to losing 5-4.

Currently the only ones I know are available are

$599 - BenQ XL2740
$599 - Acer Predator XB272
$449 - LG 27GK750F
*prices are the MSRP

All of them are 1080p, the BenQ has the + of being on the "G-Sync compatible" list from Nvidia so enabling G-Sync on it should be relatively easy. Even if you don't enable it the compatibility approval means that the monitor actually has pretty decent OverDrive settings and relatively minimal pixel overshoot.

I personally wouldn't get the LG one 2ms rated GtG and LG tends to make pretty meh gaming monitors.

Otherwise you have to wait for the coming 1440p 240Hz 27in monitors of which I wouldn't be surprised to see one from basically all the typical brands Acer, ASUS, BenQ and a strong likely hood of seeing Samsung, LG, Dell and Viewsonic along with the already mentioned Lenovo monitor all here in the next 6 - 18 months.

What makes you think this is targeted at eSports specifically?

HDR? - almost everyone is used to 8bit (6bit + RFC) in esports already and this offers no real advantage anyway

Actual G-Sync module. - BenQ studied this specifically and they found the vast majority of pro and upcoming FPS players specifically didn't want/didn't use this feature.

1440p monitors is going to be where it's at for high refresh gaming for the next ~4 years, and potentially longer. 2160p requires to much graphical power, and requires to much bandwidth on video cables

To save myself time I'm going to quote a reddit post I made

The 240Hz and the 0.5ms GtG are their mostly to say that it IS a definitive upgrade over any previous gaming 1440p panel and since it's 1440p it already distinguishes itself from other 1080p 240Hz panels.

Plus the whole thing about 27in being to large is actually really wrong, before 240Hz monitors were released an extremely large portion of CSGO pros used 27in 1080p 144Hz monitors.

I 2nd this motion.

most likely if you set it up correctly in the next driver update.

No idea exactly how it's done yet but I look forward to trying.

Lenovo Legion Y27gq

Some extra specs I've been digging up.

TN panel
0.5ms GtG with OD and 3ms GtG without OD for comparison most 1ms TN panels are 1ms GtG with OD and 5ms GtG without OD.

most likely 10bit color (8bit + RFC)

Since this monitor has the actual G-Sync chipset on it this means it will have really really good VRR as well as an auto controlled OD setting to Nvidia Certification spec requirements, so a lot of things like Ghosting, Blanking, and other artifacts common among alot of other non-gsync TN panels that use vesa adaptive sync (this includes freesync) should not occur or be a lot less noticeable.

But since it is

1. 27in
   
2. 2560x1440
   
3. 240Hz
   
4. G-Sync
   
5. HDR

Expect having to put a 2nd mortgage on your house, selling your car and walking to work, and selling at least 1 of your kidneys in order to afford this.

Discuss.

P.S.
Nvidia will be allowing users to use "G-Sync" on all vesa adaptive sync (this includes freesync) monitors if you manually configure it in the drivers in the next driver update that's expected to be released on January 15th.

Update Jan. 10th 2019

Some options (basically I'm looking for stuff close to or less than 80g that's $60 or less for the majority of this list)

Not Released Yet
Glorious Odin $50 sub 70g supposedly Q1 this year rumor is PMW3360
Ninox Astrum 70g-75g depending on configuration PMW3360

Questionable Quality/Sensors

Cooler Master
MasterMouse S ~80g with weight removed? otherwise it's 89g PMW3330

Mad Catz
R.A.T 1+ 60g no sensor listed but probably something bad
R.A.T 2+ 70g PMW3325
R.A.T S3 80g PMW3330

Ninox
Aurora ~70g ADNS-3090

Zowie
Zowie ZA13 ~80g PMW3310 $60 though

Requires some modding

Asus
Impact ~84g PMW3310
Sica ~83g PMW3310

Corsair
Harpoon ~85g PMW3320

Logitech
G100s off eBay Also would need to remove the 10g internal weight to get it to ~75g, though you would be limited to 500Hz and a pretty miserable max tracking speed.

G203 normally $40 and I've seen this as low as $25. Starts at 85g, has some older style LED lighting with relatively large bulbs, could clip those out and get it to around 83g pretty quickly and probably remove several other bits of plastic if you looked for them.

Razer
Abysuss V2 $35 from Razer 83g PMW3329 (Razer's version of 3325) pretty sure you would have to drill holes/sand all kinds of crap to get below 80g

Good Sensors

Dream Machine
DM 3 Mini ~77g PMW3360 (can't seem to find in NA)

Requires some modding

Logitech
G403 I've seen this get as low $40 recently might be a pain to find for less than $50 currently. Starts at 87.3g removing the plastic weight cover and magnets for holding it in place + removing alot of the plastic on the bottom of the mouse for the weight holding area will get the mouse at or just below 80g.

There's a ton of other mice that are really close to 80g and small changes can easily get them there but most of them are ~$55 or more

DM 1 FPS ~83g PMW3389
DM 1 Pro S ~85g PMW3360
Nixeus Revel ~85g PMW3360 $35 right now on amazon
Zowie Divina S2 ~83g PMW3360
