I haven't played this game or been involved with the community at all in like 8 months, but this was brought to my attention. So, I wanted to share some info from elijah situation cuz it's being referenced left and right by people who do not know what happened. I also have no idea who the people in this current cheat scandal are but whatever.

For the whole "why isn't AC team doing it's job??!!?!? thing" "WHY can't they catch obvious cheaters?!?!!? It's been an entire season!!!!!!"

AC team is 1 guy who has to sort through 1000 awful reports a day. Maybe they expanded the team since last summer to help delegate some of the mind numbing work like finding and banning alt accounts as well as ppl playing with banned players in scrims etc. (yes 1 person had to do this as well as what people normally think of when they think of AC). So no, it's not some elaborate rgl ruse as to why this suspect player hasn't been banned. In reality, it's why every suspect player who happens to not be in playoffs isn't banned; they don't have the resources to even begin
investigations really.

As some people may recall from the elijah situation, all the teams in playoffs agreed to do the ggl playoffs like what jw is saying, unless rgl managed to ban/run an investigation on elijah before a certain date. Essentially an ultimatum. During this time, I happened to learn that until the threat of quitting playoffs happened, an investigation hasn't even started on elijah, despite him having several tftv threads dedicated to him blatantly cheating not only in pre season, during the season, and in the time where playoffs were supposed to happen. Keep in mind this is someone who was previously banned for cheating, and this was advanced playoffs (one would think rgl cares more about advanced playoffs than main but who knows)

From what I understand this current situation is accusing 2 people in main of cheating. I would be shocked if an investigation has actually begun by this point, considering their response to elijah, who by every measurable criteria would be pretty much the highest priority cheating situation they would've had at the time given the div and publicity it had.

As for the stuff with Arcadia, the approach he's taking this time is wildly different. Earlier when I mentioned the ggl for the elijah stuff, Arcadia was honestly TOO supportive of it, actively throwing the entire (old) admin team under the bus in order to get good faith, and promising money from the rgl season to go into it (for some reason lmao). I thought this approach was wildly awful for the game, for exactly what's happening now. The admin of the league should never fully support teams making a revolution against the league. Tomato Tom literally called the discord server/gc where all the TL's talked "The RGL uprising" or some shit like that. By supporting this (before an official investigation even started), arcadia was effectively letting teams just ban teams they didn't like if they felt justified in doing so.

Personally I greatly prefer 24" to 27" for gaming, and 1440p 24" wouldn't be a waste at all imo. 1440p just makes things feel sharper, but you don't need a massive monitor to enjoy it like how people describe 4k. Past gaming 27" is better tho imo. I would rather read, work or watch something on 27 everytime in comparison to 24.

goated

Vanxi is an incredibly good player but requires a team environment that lets him be good. He has lots of ideas, very good comms and very good dm, but initially when I played my first szn with him, the team found him to be pretty stubborn about a lot of things. That has definitely gotten much better now, so if you have been on the fence about him in the past, now would be a great time to give him a shot.

mid/high adv roamer = pocket will play either
Got 3rd last szn but was carried

Very committed to getting better, always down to demo review or practice.

bro you're from greece!

doesn't work in 6s cuz of sv_pure, it does work in pubs and stuff tho

knowing the map pool more than 2 days ahead of the szn could help a lot too. i feel like teams don't want to scrim new maps/maps that were bad for them in the off szn during the szn cuz it's not worth practicing over the maps u r more likely to play when u can just ban them. teams only rly get to experiment more in pre szn and maybe playoffs if there's a big break before matches start.

Cups are also a really good point. it's disappointing to see the cups be mostly utilized as a "get new players into the game without much commitment" idea, instead of actually trying new things people want without potentially tanking a szn. weird maps can get feedback, new plugins can be tried. Everything rgl asks about on the survey could be thrown into a 2 day cup and get 100x the feedback and engagement.

Personally, I am disappointed with the rgl survey, as I feel it is leaving out a lot of stuff asked for by the community, while also including things that no one is asking for.

I am not sure if this is because people did a poor job of talking about changes they want to see, or if the rgl staff were not aware of the discussions. Hopefully for the future there is a place/way to communicate with rgl openly to avoid situations like this. I understand rgl tries to communicate well, and I think that effort has been clear recently as seen by the new invite format amongst other things, however asking about attack/defend again, or asking about the soda popper being unbanned, feels like 3 steps backward.

You guys are bringing up a lot of good points but rgl moves slowly. They've only asked if we wanted to play attack/defend on the past 3 surveys. Maybe once they're confident in the results, we can hope these gameplay improvements will be considered.

incredibly good and fun to be around

easy win main team

ok but isn't that the like $20 amazon mouse with built in cs hacks

wallbugs r good he's just mad demoknight can't get up there

Soldier only does jump, crouch, wasd and shoot. Pharah has the same AND q, shift and e. I rest my case
