i don't think bagel is a good map neccessarily, but I think it's stronger than some of the maps in the pool now, and the map pool should reflect that.

i love tambo, he's my favorite pocket to watch, and I love the way he thinks about the game. also sick music taste.

more of my personal favorites than objectively best, but here are just a few

i love legit, he's super likable and super good. he's pretty inconsistent, especially because he plays quite a bit of sniper, but i definitely think he can play on a top 8 team this season. playing with him s27 was very fun, i'm sure literally anyone else will enjoy playing with him too.

still looking

i love starka. he is top 8 for sure, and one of the funnest and nicest people I've ever played with. has some of the best mechanics I've ever seen from a medic. I agree with nazara, he doesn't anticipate as well as you'd hope and therefore has some poor moments. but i have no doubt in my mind that he can fix those issues, and i believe he will be one of the best medics in the division is a couple seasons.

probably my favorite Christmas album, you get a shit ton of songs that don't sound like the generic Christmas songs imo. nice and mellow.

playoff blues bump

legit: ban sunshine
legit: pls
legit: hahah
legit: my fps drop in sunshine
legit: aeuhiaeuh
legit: i hate sunshine
hayes: right now we play either sunshine or metalworks
legit: i prefer metalworks

it was legit not nazara. just 2-0 us so we don't have to play map 3

the dragon's fury was banned because it was a new weapon added in the middle of the season, not because it's broken. if you think it is broken, that's a separate issue, but I personally think it's an average weapon.

also, banning things on the premise of whether or not it's fun is an awful way to govern things. i understand the reasoning, but it's absolutely stupid.

i'm surprised this debate hasn't happened sooner tbh

fwiw, the last 4 pugs he played he went on average ~13 kills and 3 deaths while playing ~8:30 of pyro a pug. he clearly tried and went out of his way to play 33% of the class, which is within the rules. banning things/people is a slippery slope to say the least, and while idk how i feel about people running fulltime pyro, if he was banned solely on premise of those games alone, that's fucking stupid.

Boomp

there is a clear difference between getting cut from an invite team for performing poorly, and publicly making a thread to solely shit on a player for playing bad in a meaningless pug.

little bump for s27, updated bio

i agree with charis completely. you can only get so good being a PUG only medic, and I think he's way past reached that point. if he focuses on himself and self improves, he'd be a really good pickup for a team vying for playoffs next season.
