I ordered my Xiaomi Piston 3's off Amazon recently, can confirmed they were legit. The reviews were polarizing, so mileage may vary but Amazon is your best bet right now.
The only saving grace of this show so far has been the few top animators they pulled to animate some episodes. DBS is worse in every way possible to DBZ. Blood and violence is heavily censored as if it was a show from 4kidstv. The animation is less organic, and if you watch an episode from DBZ the difference is pretty clear. Also everything is retcon'd, they went from shattering mountains and energy attacks blowing up cities to a small dynamite explosion at best in DBS. Power inconsistency is another thing, where you have random purple jobbers going on the same tier as Goku at his best. Toriyama has lost his touch and vision ages ago.
Also the transformations are unoriginal and have no build up, SSGSS, Blue, Rosè etc
B4nny had pretty incredible stats considering a complete change in peripherals
Hallowi don't get whats being discussed. crowns wouldnt have won without kaidus. the other teams would have performed better with a coach (and while players of kaidus' caliber are a rarity, there were plenty of players teamless and present who could've done it). while i disagree with the decision of allowing coaches to begin with, all teams but crowns gimped themselves by not using a coach. heck even i can read health off a spec hud, anyone would've been better than none.
Well certainly teams had the carte blanche to get coaches, but in preperation for the i series I think teams were going there with the idea in mind to compete in an meta established for years and not 7s
nymthaesaamDid Kaidus also use a plugin that allowed him to be at a computer and see everyone on his team's POV's? I could maybe have been OK with him standing behind but using a plugin like that feels like it goes far beyond what should be happening.
You can see every single player POV at once by standing behind, the plugin blocked the ability to spectate the other team. How is it any better? Technically, it means you can actually only view one at a time so it's hardly bringing anything more than what you'd achieve in person.
The idea behind forcing participation on the server meant any teams who happened to be placed on rows in front of teams using coaches (physically) reduced the risk of being able to see enemy POVs as well.
Personally? I don't really agree with coaches, maincalling was definitely an element that provided a skill difference in many teams. At the end of the day though if it did improve Crowns [over having kaidus, the caller, as a player] then what we saw was a higher level of play, or better quality. It's not a terrible thing to explore options that strive to better the quality of play, surely?
A case was made for it, it was tried. I agreed to do it and i'm standing by it. Honestly, that's the best iseries LAN final we've ever had so i'm not regretting that if it contributed at all. If from here the idea is ditched in future events and tournaments then so be it. Nothing ever changes unless you give it a chance to. All the other teams had an opportunity to use a coach [Jasmine Tea and froyotech understandably have a much greater financial struggle to achieve that, that's something that sucks only because of where our community is at with funding and LANs, i'm not rich I can't change that as much as i'd love to]
I knew Crowns winning would only bring out more salt but whatever. If you're salty, blame me, I don't care. If it's all bullshit then it won't catch on and we'll drop the idea.
I'm done with organising TF2 at iseries here so whoever is taking over for the future can make this decision next year if it's at the event.
What do you mean by "higher level of play"? By that token why don't teams just use PEDs for "higher quality performance". Isn't the point of a lan to provide a more impartial environment where the only factor that determines individual and team merit is skill (gamesense, deathmatch)? Sourcing that entire category of the game to a 7th player seems rather counter-productive to the concept
Super-Lesbian_JakeSo... Who is getting cut?probably no one but if u wanna point out someone who under performed its def paddie moreso than anyone else
It was both paddie and muma, even though muma had piecemeal moments where he clutched
idk muma looked lost that entire lan
I have no idea what muma was doing this entire lan and for losing his entire set of peripherals, banny played pretty well
Lyreixam I seriously seeing posts advocating that playing what is practically 7v6 is fair
Soon teams will have F1 pitstop levels of coaching. A coach behind each player and one for each map area, get 1.5 second analysis
The staff here are far from perfect. David perma-banned me years ago on TFTV stream for saying "na scouts>eu scouts". Still banned lol
I don't understand when that happens, do teams just think "yeah I'd rather not die, someone else will stop the point"?
There is an immense amount of downtime compared to actual content, space that could be filled by playing frag movies or on site tours?
Any context to sideshow saying "this is the last one"? (In reference to the i series)
hoaxAnd they wanted Valve to highlight the stream in game..
This. Why are things not field tested beforehand? Also now would be a great time to roll the i52 documentary or the i55 fragumentary. Where are those?
