Let's face it, if this was a case in a bigger eSports scene like CS:GO where there is a lot more money and fans involved, there would be a significant outcry towards a pro player even just cheating in a pub. His team either would have to drop him or lose their sponsorship. Viewers and fans will vent their usual VAC or witch hunting rage towards the particular pro.

Even if you're a top 2 team in Invite, you're not making a whole lot from the game while everyone else is pretty much spending more money than they earn to play ESEA. That's called a hobby. How can you explain to hassassin's team or his friends that him cheating in a pub is a big deal when they have no angry mob to worry about and no sponsor or salary to lose but a player they care about playing with. This is the reality behind the "cheating in pubs doesn't matter" mentality; I don't condone it or anything but I think it would just add some more perspective.

It should be a given that after such a traumatic incident done by extremists it will make you more wary of Muslims as a whole. What you seem to miss is that it still doesn't make that fear justified or reasonable.

We know through facts an overwhelming majority of the Muslim community is innocent of extremist crimes and do not deserve the discrimination, but our body is telling us to be afraid and scared of them because of this traumatic event done by a fanatical few. If you cannot realize that and overcome that fear you have of them, then you only make things worse for all parties. The Muslims who are bring discriminated against feel at least as much if not more afraid of their future than you are as a result of this catastrophe they had no control over.

Undertale is a game that tries to reach out to the player for an emotional response towards his/her actions and consequences. The game is as fulfilling as you make it out to be. Just play it with an open mind and heart and it becomes very easy to have a good time.

Because it's not on Shadowburn if he asks for donations and receives money that way, it's entirely on the people who are donating that money to him.

You're complaining because you think his current position doesn't warrant any donations, but that is your own opinion. The people who are actually donating their money to Shadowburn disagree with you.

If you really think these types of threads are the problem, don't target people like Shadowburn who make them, target the people who actually support them with their money.

Wait is this a meme or is Blizzard actually flagging battle tags on this site?

The game is going to have a lot of money involved; it's as simple as that. Blizzard hasn't even officially sponsored anything and you have eSports organizations trying to get teams playing Overwatch (i.e. Dirty bomb's #1 team PkD is moving to Overwatch). If you're a competitive enough FPS player that you want to become a pro this game is shaping up to be worth the time.

I actually feel like I do better the less I play any FPS outside of scrims and matches. My hands get tired very easily.

idk if it's the right place to post this but i'd love to play on a team for this tournament if you need a scout so add me :)

The problem with rating plays entirely on the relative skill of the play-maker and the opposing team is that in higher skill levels everything becomes significantly more team dependent; individual plays are much more commonly overshadowed by teamwork at the top because of better coordination.

For instance in that 5v1 A:R scenario if you substituted each of the players on the team of 5 with players of high Platinum/Invite ability, that situation becomes virtually unwinnable for the solo player. It would not matter if the Soda Popper scout had all of his jumps and an aimbot for landing every single shot because the focus fire of 5 good players is more than enough to deal 125 damage before 1 player can kill all of them. Even though an aimbot is well beyond the skill level of any human player you wouldn't be able to solo against an entire team of top players with one.

In Herr_P's play even though most of his frags were on players shooting at his teammates it would've been impossible otherwise. The players on the opposing team needed to be focused on the rest of Herr_P's team for that streak to happen. If he had taken a sticky from the demoman or a rocket from one of their soldiers without holding back to get heals that scout playing with his medic would've cleaned up the frag. If he held back to get heals the rest of the other team would've died to his teammates that had enough health to chase.

In either potential scenario that streak would've been cut short. A lot of plays and kill streaks in higher levels heavily rely on factors outside of the play-makers actual individual ability; the timing is what has to be right and really good plays can't be as flashy as soloing against 5 players. That's why in the #1 submission the enemy team missing very badly was much more of a factor in that play than the Soda Popper scout's ability.

I think players and server owners need to tackle this DDoS issue as seriously as possible. European servers for casted matches need some form of DDoS protection like the eVL servers we have for Highlander Platinum games before anymore matches. Players need to set their Steam status to offline before joining match servers and make sure they're not using programs where their IP could be easily retrieved by someone they don't know. Postponing the matches is only going to postpone the DDoS's to happen again; we need to be proactive about preventing these games from being ruined.

I know for a fact in our match today against the Israeli team whoever was DDoSing specifically went for Nursey when she had Uber to make her drop and Yosh during one of his long killstreaks trying to get us to lose rounds. It's amusing to me how even when we were still in a good position to take rounds with those setbacks the whole server blows up instead.

That doesn't really change Digresser's point (which I agree with wholeheartedly). People like Axio are incredibly insecure enough to pull off something like that and even though his shit talk can be obscene and unacceptable, I don't think people should be offended by or entirely blame someone who seems to have serious mental problems for their actions. They're just shallow words with no weight to them.

I hope suma1l's dreams come true

great team player. lots of potential
