My team. Well after the mid season crisis of cutting our med and 2 other players leaving, our team has vastly improved. Monkeysuit has seen the potential so he has decided to play scout, and we are looking pretty good. We have beaten 6 out of the 8 teams we've scrimmed that are currently top 16 in power rankings. We beat syops twice, but we rang delpo on pocket and I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they were having a bad day (dflame had some shitty stats). Other high open teams that want to scrim add me here to schedule.
And to clear any misconceptions
This is not what I wanted nor planned on happening. I wanted to play my first season of open with some friends, then some fucking dumb shit happened, and now my team is stacked, and I'm surrounded by players better than me. I didn't cut anyone that I didn't think needed to be, people just left. I probably would still have cereal and evening on my team if they didn't leave.
On to the questions.
How's the difficulty of schedules and the new matchups thus far?
Pretty easy. Since our team changed on a 3-5 note, we are playing teams around 3-5 level, although with this roster I think we are more of a 6-2 type of team.
If your team died (I know a couple have), what happened (please keep it civil)?
Well it didn't die but it got pretty close. I cut out med due to his attitude and 2 other players left because of me cutting him/our performance/other factors.
Have you guys been improving a ton since you've started playing in the season?
I can't speak for us as a team because roster changes, but I think me currently would shit on me 2 months ago by a large margin.
What has stopped you from improving, if something is?
At the moment alosec is having issues with connecting to NFO servers (no idea, he was talking to tragic for hours trying to fix it) so we've had to ring people a lot. I think we are still getting better but it still is a hindrance.
Has anything on ESEA caused trouble while playing?
not really, I guess the occasional server lag but that's mostly gone now.
How do you feel about playing in ESEA?
It's miles more fun than UGC. I've played 1 season in UGC and I can't say I miss it. Everyone seems to give a shit and people actually scrim. Also it's a lot harder to get fucked over in scheduling.
What have you noticed about your team that has made it very fun?
Everyone is super chill. No one gets mad at one another and we all are trying to fix our flaws.
Same question, but what has made you guys improve?
Scrimming for 5 nights a week. We have had to have a ringer for a lot of it, but me personally, I feel I improved a shit ton just DM wise. And I'm finally starting to not just die for no reason.
Sorry for wall of text :-\
quick edit: alias is tojo on esea. Trying to fully re-alias :-\
