yeah aiming in ow is insanely hard honestly, instant accel is huge and anorexic female hitboxes make tracking/clicking pretty fucking hard. winston existing doesn't really negate the prior facts.

Also, i think genetics mattering for aiming should be an incredibly cold take, genetics matters for literally everything. many things that are less visible such as VO2max in athletes have huge genetic components (although it is certainly improvable, many people will simply never reach certain highs). reaction time has a huge genetic component (almost surely matters for aiming), fine motor control is also extremely heritable. Saying it's the only thing that matters is probably incredibly copium, but it's definitely still a factor. Idk what his actual stance is since i'd rather not actually look at it but just saying "genetics matters" is very fair.

that being said though dude is way too far up his own ass lol

a player of great acclaim

do NOT let this man cook on med

active shooter on MSU campus rn

i know there are (maybe graduated by now) players at MSU. hoping that everybody stays safe.

If this happens usually means you have another mod installed that bundles along nohoats (cleantf2 etc.).

If not, not really sure beyond just verifying game files and known stuff like that.

Good video. I think it might also be worth talking about speedrunning jump maps rather than just completion. You mention that higher tier maps offer benefits by enforcing consistency in your mechanics, but I would argue that speedrunning the easier maps does this better while dodging some of the mechanics with less direct application. This might appeal more to those who enjoy the competitive aspect of jumping but don't find more complex/niche jumps that exist on higher tier maps to be fun.

Also might be worth to come up with a short list (~5-10) worthwhile maps to play, i know you linked the spreadsheets but those have a LOT of maps on them.

this team is good

My pick for playoff contender teams just based off spreadsheet in this thread rn (thank you jemond). Ordering is pretty rough unless otherwise stated. This is obviously very early but I'm bored, feel free 2 get mad at me.

Tier 1: Probably playoff shoo-ins
1. GYROS OF MAIN - Bane is goated, 2 players who won main last season (on different combat class + med granted but math seems to be doing well), macron/bananana/trees have synergy. My pick for clear strongest team rn.

2. PERUTECH - 4th last season, retains some core players and have good pickups, seem to be doing well in scrims

3?. Cat Noises Black - Sushi diff (other players are good as well)

3?. WANG gang - Synergy from last season, expect them to continue improving and do well

5. Magic City - This team has 2 flank scouts at heart but they're both good, baba has good dm so definite potential. Hope they keep sale_boat.

Tier 2: Wild West - Think they could all make it but trading scrims with teams not listed or haven't really scrimmed yet

Sexo
Fat Peter
Go Raw - Returning playoff players so can't count them out even if some are offclassing
Throne team - See above

yes please i want to derust without ruining a pug by being shit lol

only known player able to carry aim demo, goat

This is part of the problem but not the whole issue, the UGC servers just kinda suck in general. I ping well to some of their hightower servers (even though they all list similar ping on the server browser including the EU server, very cool) but they all feel like dogshit and the difference is immediately obvious when you switch to casual hightower even with similar playercount. UGC MGE server is similar, idk what's up with it (never restarts???) but it always feels giga ass. Don't think it's a framerate thing either, just spinning in spawn room feels worse on the UGC servers lol.

can tryout now please fuel my addiction
