it's not, most of these charts are cumulative stats since 2009

Nah, I'm pretty sure its popularity was highest after it went free to play in 2011.

great guys

i'll pay your league fee

in my experience, input lag is dependent on capture method rather than encoding method. I had input lag when i used screen/window capture, but once I switched to game capture that went away. Of course, lower fps results in an increase in input lag, but its negligible if your fps is well into the hundreds. fps drops aren't an issue for me when streaming but I do have an i5 4670k so there are plenty of lower end/older CPUs that support quick sync. i'm no expert so YMMV, but unless you have significant fps issues when streaming, you don't need to use quick sync.

if you do have fps issues, quick sync is definitely worth a shot.

improvements have been made to quick sync but is still not as good as CPU x264 encoding. If you don't need the performance boost (chances are you don't if you're using a CPU that supports quick sync - but you might), you should probably stick to using the CPU.

Is that glorious announcement in the near future?

holy shit i plus fragged a blink post

I don't understand not allowing a ringer. We're talking about grape here, right? Who were they going to get that would be better than grape anyways? Is grape their usual starter and does he play soldier? If so, no replacement would be better imo. Therefore it seems like a choice between definitely winning (9v8) and a relatively fair (with grapes team probably at a slight disadvantage) match.

I can understand not wanting to wait forever cause people have lives, but if you don't want to wait at least let them bring somebody in.

but I know absolutely nothing about highlander, so...

nvm something about a spy

Beasly I plus fragged your original post but now you're getting a minus

Looking for room share hmu if I know you, I'm bringing beer you should too

You guys should include your GPU and CPU with your benchmarks

thats what i dont get though, if they screwed me over i wouldnt want to beat them 9v8 and be like ha i showed you

i would want to beat them 9v9 proving that im actually better

lft soldier/scout

yo im pretty sure you can unpause after 5 in esea but ive waited like 20 during a regular season match
