I have Spotify on pretty much all of the time, and it never interfered with Mumble in any way.

Yeah, we didn't adjust and just kept going garage for some reason. Also, Tyler is indeed shit.

At first, we kinda just freestyle mids and see what works and what we are comfortable with. We adjust as needed and try to find a few good working strategies. A common misconception is that invite teams have ridiculously complex strats, but that's not really true all of the time. It's just that invite teams are much better at executing all strats than lesser-skilled teams, no matter how basic the strat is.

This is only necessary when someone doesn't do enough of what they should be doing to help the team. Like if a roamer isn't bombing enough, or if people die at times where deaths aren't necessary.

It's never a bad idea to do this, but I think any team I've been on would do it if we were trying to figure out what's wrong with our mids.

Eh, it depends. It definitely helped blight-own during s6 finals against my team, because they watched our granary demos and countered our mids incredibly (and granary is more dependent on mids than any map). We got rolled in like 10 minutes, and we were very strong on granary, too. If they didn't study our stuff, it surely would have been much closer. Aside from that, some teams still might do things similar, but it's not ridiculously common as you'd think.

I'm interested.

FINALLY, HOTEL STUFF

Sorry for the horribly long delay on this, but the Hampton Inn & Suites Valley Forge/Oaks will be the unofficial GXL hotel. It's around $90-$100 a night (depending on what nights you stay, not including taxes), and there is no code that needs to be applied or anything. It's only a mile away from the venue and in the same plaza. If you plan on getting a room, please book with this hotel, just so all of us can be in the same place. Their free breakfast is pretty good, too.

Also, the price for tickets are going up $5 on June 1st, which will bring the ticket cost to $45. If you have any intention of going to this LAN, please just buy your ticket now. You can get a refund until two weeks prior to the LAN if you decide that you can't go.

That's disgusting.

That's adreN's youtube channel. It's constantly updated with extremely useful stuff from settings, movement, spraying, spam spots, taking sites, defending sites, useful flashbangs/smokes/molotovs, and match comms.

I'm not sure what the max possible damage is on a double donk, but I've definitely went from 150 to less than 5 from just a double donk. Sad times for medics.

email info@thegxl.com to take care of your ticket upgrade.

Speaking of tickets, ticket prices are gonna jump up $5 (to $45) on the 1st of June. If you have any plans of attending this, just buy it now. You can get a refund up to two weeks prior to the event, and after June 1st, the tickets will jump up $5 one last time (to $50).

We've traded scrims with them consistently since the middle of the season, maybe a little more in their favor. Our problem is that the three times we've played them in matches (once in CEVO, twice in ESEA), we get crushed in the first half (usually a quick 3-0) and then it's very even in the second half. Not really sure why that happens to us against them so consistently in matches, but we'll have to show up when the game starts and not at halftime if we want to win.

Should be a good match.
