corsaDaijouBlaze is the best roamer NA has ever had imho
Playing with enough ping to make some EU players leave rosters as a roamer, playing smartly and being able to do such consistent work as roamer is why he's the best. Even if he doesn't have the DM skills as Mike, his knowledge of the game and his timing make him way more effective and lethal, specially in maps like product
I'm not saying blaze is or isn't the best, but he doesn't get that much more ping than the average soldier, as he gets around 50 on scoreboard.
I live in the same place as blaze. 110 ping soldier to dallas is pretty fucking hard and always tilted me to the moon. that was a reality in pretty much every match back then, playing against relic, jaeger, and tyler on like 5-20 ping. I could barely get through a match and do not enjoy playing soldier in those conditions. idk how blaze did it really.
these days conditions are better (server locations) and with internet upgrades in my area (better isp, also fiber) its probably closer to 80 dallas, 60 chi, and I'm not sure about colorado, id guess 45-50 (scoreboard).
then again I don't think seagull had the greatest ping, still better than blaze but yeah. I remember him having ~65 when I played a match against 20id like a thousand years ago. afaik he moved and pings better now, but it was after tf2.
