They need to start introducing seeding for these tournaments

Lmao there is actually a decent chance we'll see big in the finals

With faze and mousesports out I was going to root for gambit but fuck me I guess they are on SKs side of the bracket

Idk dude SK had pretty mediocre play aside from coldzera. Youre right immortals has been playing pretty well but I wouldn't consider it impressive considering their only good win was a best of one against a floundering NaVi

Basically dead tournament after quarter finals though, at least the games will be close until whoever gets destroyed by SK
But you never know, right?

This tournament is turning into a T1 snooze fest. Well maybe thats not the best way to say it, as the games leading up to the final will probably be close, but I dont see anybody challenging SK

Is it just me, or are a lot of teams in a pretty unimpressive place? To me, Gambit and BIG are the only teams going into playoffs and doing well. Everyone else in it just kind of scraped by against lower teams, and a lot of teams out of the playoffs never had a real chance, or just suck right now.

Faze is better now but apparently they shit the bed in cologne and were laying in it until this event

I have always liked faze as a team but holy cow this performance is inexcusable

Sure BIG and F3 had the play style to counter them but come on you can't be serious

In both this and cologne, only one player really even shows up to the server

And correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think one of the favorites to be finalists ever went 0-3

Very nice house Mr Owl

Faze often plays poorly in groups and big is a really good team with an approach that counters the individual plays faze is known for so I'm not surprised

Rooting for Faze and Mous

Id be pleased with mous making it out of groups, and I think Faze has potential to make it to the final but am not confident in them

I also want to see VP do well again

welp

And as for you mister kevchev, grow a pair of balls and stop paying people to bone

who wants me to do an ama instead of saam

VP and NaVi really are the ones who have to prove themselves, not NiP

There is definitely a place for hitting but it can be avoided

I don't think its necessarily the best option, but I do not think its worthless

Personally I was hit every once in a while when I outright disrespected my parents, and while it made me sad an upset in the short term, I learned my place. Now later in life, every once in a while I see a kid who could use a whack to get them out of their own asses, thinking about how they have some responsibility but are still in others control. There needs to be a consequence for poor behavior and a smack is the easiest way to make them remember, but it shouldn't be the go-to

That being said, my father had some anger issues and when he was just in a bad mood he would actually hit me with jumper cables and throw tiling grout at me; he even smashed my brothers computer with a splitting maul once

I don't wish that upon anyone, and until I grew up and he gained respect for me, I was totally at his mercy and it wasn't fun. I hate to use the old cliche I turned out fine, because I have some issues with empathy. But for the most part, I am well adjusted, my life is going well and I get along with him fine as his behavior has gotten better. But that's not a healthy environment and I've seen it fuck up a lot of different people

Change the ambassador to not headshot at range. I feel like it will be pretty easy to get a sense of what the range is so you won't count on hitting shots, and if you have it reward aim with a minicrit that would be good

The eternal reward should probably not have a faster cloak drain speed, but maybe a slower cloak build speed

The bonk should definitely be able to soak up more damage, or have a faster recharge rate which might get gimmicky. Basically as it is now, you'll just be able to distract for 5 seconds and even if you get out, probably die if they decide to push you

I think you should be able to quickswitch the atomizer. I am not positive on the deploy times, but I think the penalty of not having a scattergun out in that time might be reasonable

For the base jumper, not being able to redeploy is enough to fix it in my opinion

Mantreads will be nuts idk what to think about that. If you have ever joined a surf server and then gone to a private server and rocket jumped, its crazy. I feel like there is no way they would make it so easy to build speed

This crossbow change is good, but I want to see them reduce the healing too maybe

Also razorback - made it balanced in competitive and really really good in pubs thanks valve

GRU is still broken, these changes don't fix it. If anything, I think they make it better

I agree with all other changes

If you are over 250 you should end it all tbh tbh tbh
