i mean between prem rosters definitely barely practicing until the season gets announced and there being like 4-5 days between announcement and prem quali date, this could use some more thinking ahead on a few ends

Heyo, almost caster of the season here
seeing as i head some actual twitch subs recently (shoutouts to all 4 of them) i figured i wanted to use disposable income for something worthwile like a better mic and while theres a dozen threads for this here already i figured i'll make a thread anyway just to see if theres been any new good ones since the last thread.
Pricerange is really just ~100€ preferably, current mic i have is a modmic for quality comparison, if anyone has good suggestions, let me know, wanna sound decent when doing casts this year :]

i mean we all knew process gully snake would be top3 by a mile but the order of things here is still surprising

not a name but give the cat some of that salami

Scatergun

nah that would be public transport and useful, im picturing privately owned cars which makes it a much bigger waste of resources and environmentally irresponsible

a self-driving car but it will only drive you to work

im all in favor of any and all up to date content like this, so many guides etc are so old and severly outdated, props for stepping up to the task

lmao godmode got a 2 week ban for no demo uploads 5h before the game, this match is the gift that keeps on giving

the fact that there seems to be no consistent standard on whats allowed before preliminary tiers compared to the zero tolerance policy for late joiners is what annoys me the most tbh.
low teams can have 3-4 mid players sign up for low and be fine but the moment you try to get more experienced players later its warnings/defaults, regardless of if your team had anyone over your divs experience level or not
also kinda sad that the class limit thing wasnt really done this season, as much as that needs better execution it prolly would help to not let HL prem snipers or whatever ruin low divs for newer players

i watched the div1 finals and it was the worst match of tf2 i have ever witnessed so understandable if you ask me

people run Focus Blast and Stone Edge with much worse accuracy, why wouldnt you use Pyor Ball
the much bigger downside is 8pp but its either that or recoil preventing from spamming your fire move so whatever

as for Libero while being budget gren is nice, gren had a much bigger movepool, decent stats on Atk and Spatk to run mixed/ full special/physical, and solid support options with Spikes and TSpikes (which it found openings for often) making it super unpredictable, especially once Z Moves came around giving it dumb stuff like Z Dig, Cinder is much more limited in all those areas, mostly by being a fire type making it weak to any hazards so if you wanna uturn spam you are forced to run boots giving up alot of power/speed. it'll be good sure but its nothing compared to gren imo

yeah people have already forcefully evolved things into bulbasaur lol, they just arent commonly thrown around in trading cause people are still careful, GF likes throwing bans around for stuff like that
naturally we also got full moveset changes (Kyub got DD lmao)

GF has stated multiple times that they wont be adding any of the cut pokemon, the most ur gonna get is the 34 hidden pokemon found by dataminers (gen 1 + 7 starters and some random legendaries) and i think 2 mythicals

probably most of which as raids since thats the hot new gimmick, same with the unreleased giga forms

the most positive reactions outside of liking specific pokemon i have seen was "its pokemon so i like it" so it probably depends on how much you just enjoy doing pokemon things cause it doesnt seem that drastically different
