Knuckles LFT

Hey guys, I'm looking to possibly play again next season. While I am LFT, I'm going to be a little particular about the teams that I play with because playing with mustard, liko, ex, and co. was the most fun I've ever had in this game. Playing with players that taught me so much was a blast and I got to see myself improving very quickly despite my attitude I was approaching the game with.

Experience:
  • CEVO-O S5 Monday Hangover (11th)
  • ESEA-O S18 Squid Squad (8-2)
  • ESEA-O S18 Mumble Robots (6th)
  • ESEA-IM S19 Mumble Robots (1-6)
  • ESEA-IM S19 SYOPS (4-5)
  • ESEA-IM S20 A GORILLION DOLLARS (7-3)

Pros (IMO):
  • I think my DM is by far my best quality. A lot of people call me a DM lord, please see Cons list below :P
  • I've played on a high level team. As mentioned in the paragraph above, playing with GORILLION was the most fun I've had, and playing at that high of a level was a blast. The team coordination was a lot of fun.
  • My comms. I talk. A lot. I pride myself on it. In the past I've used this well on the flank and in the combo imo. When playing with the combo I hate not knowing what's happening on flank at all times, and therefore try to provide as much essential information as possible.

Cons (IMO):
  • I'm known for going braindead at times. While I think most if this opinion about me is from PUGs where I really enjoy using my W key WAYYYY too much. In scrims I control this much, much more, but I do occasionally overestimate my DM ability and feed.
  • I'm very blunt with my opinions on the game. Often I don't consider how the way I present my opinions will appear to others in mumble. When I see a problem, I'm very quick to comment on it in an insensitive way, which offends players. I think in a mumble where everyone is very interested in improving this doesn't cause problems, but varying level of interest on a night to night basis can cause conflict.
  • My internet. This is all I plan to say about this. I won't bring it up during tryouts or scrims unless prompted. My internet in its current state is a handicap. During college peak hours, I have major problems with ping.

    https://i.imgur.com/wPVL7lD.png

    Unless it is fixed, I will be playing the season with 100+ ping to Chicago, and more to any other server. My ping will be spiking from 100-300 every minute or so. ESEA's servers/client makes this problem worse. I WILL be dedicated to playing through this. Last season I think it effected me more mentally than it did my actual ability to play the game, and I won't let this be a problem this upcoming season.

Thanks for reading!

knuckles started off doing well on gorillion dollars. when blues couldnt play due to his internet issues, mustard told me the only real replacement was knuckles, and i actually told him i thought it'd be a mistake because of previous problems between myself and him. mustard told me that he was the only scout looking and convinced me that it'd be fine and, despite my skepticism, knuckles definitely showed that he was there to play the game and had put all previous bullshit behind, so i did the same. problems arose weeks later between mustard and knuckles. mustard likes to point out every single thing that someone does wrong, and, to no fault of knuckles, as his previous team experiences were honestly unfair, he had a lot of correcting to be done. on top of that, his ping would randomly spike to 200, and it was pretty clear that it pissed him off. im assuming that knuckles couldnt handle the pressure of being told what to do every single scrim and being told that he essentially was always wrong, along with his already building up internet issue rage , so it was pretty obvious that something had to be done. mustard came to me , saying that slemnish's team was dying and he was probably going to need a team. he asked if it'd be alright to replace knuckles with slemnish, to which i told him my opinion would be too biased to make a fair decision, as slemnish is my boy. he asked the rest of the team, and everyone besides ex decided it would be the right decision to replace him. we actually had ex be the one to tell knuckles he was cut in a private mumble, which made me feel as though the situation was even more unjust. knuckles was maybe considered the worst player on the team, but it was seemingly clear that it was due to his lack of experience, which wasn't necessarily his fault. knuckles would still make huge plays sometimes, randomly go behind and pick 2 or 3 players out of nowhere, and his dm, as he stated, is definitely not bad. i think, despite the issues he had with mustard, that knuckles still managed to learn a lot in his time on the team, and im pretty confident in saying that he could play at a mid IM level, especially if he finds a solution for his internet.

tldr despite how shitty his past looks, hes still very talented at what he does and deserves a good team to support him

Knuckles is actually a really nice guy who isn't afraid to tell you what's on his mind or how he feels about a certain situation. As previously mentioned, his dm is really superb and a very scary aspect of his scout, but he is by no means all aim no brain. I've seen him go over demos of himself with his teammates, so if you play on a team with him he'll value your insight on what you think he's doing wrong. His internet can be finicky at times, but if you can get over that he'd be a solid pickup.

A great friend and a genuinely nice person who belongs on a good team

I haven't had many interaction's with Knuckles, but from the few I've had he seemed to be the type of person that could go far in TF2 with the right people and some more experience. Pick him up if you can mesh with his personality.

monster dm and an unparalleled commitment to getting better at the game

really sucks about his ping, but he can still frag like a champ with ease at an im level while teleporting

turns out i bumped his old lft thread so twice the advertising
i've known knuckles for a while now, and he's really evolved from a good player to a great player. his monster DM and good potential for maincalling make him a solid pickup for any team looking a scout, whether it be one that plays on the flank or with the combo.
hopefully his ping will improve, but he definitely still has a lot of potential for greatness.

Solid DM and is a strong and confident player. With the right team he can do very well. I hope that he finds a team that suits him perfectly. Pick him up!

Knuckles is a well rounded Scout w/ DM, concise comms, and reliable combo or flank based play. From the past I know Knuckles can be rather bluntly spoken, but he has good intentions. He'd be a solid addition to a strong IM team even with his internet being inconsistent.

Knuckles is a very good scout player despite his ping problems. His DM is insane he times his aggression very well and his comms are very very good. I feel like his bluntness can be a double edged sword depending on how people perceive it. Knuckles has improved a lot and grown as a player and definitely would be a strong addition to an IM team.

i was planning on going into a huge thing to support this cool gamer but i see now that cookie has literally said everything i wanted to say

so ill just summarize it all by saying this guy is incredibly committed, works very hard all the time to make sure every team he is on gets the best results, and will make the plays you need. dont put him in anything below mid IM because itd be insulting to the kind of player he is

Dedicated gamer, will show up to scrims, and won't kill your team all while looking to improve.

Is also already pretty good, easily strong enough to be on an mid/upper IM team.

In fact, those first three criteria alone should grantee anyone mid-IM in this game.

Pick him up!

He did really well when we played with him before last season started and proved that he can compete with the top IM scouts of last season when he played with mustard. No reason not to try him out

knuckles clicks on things and has good knowledge of the game. Strong willed and opinionated (pot, kettle I know) but more than willing to help and support his team.

Bump, looking to play tonight

I will be able to play most Sun-Thursdays with some heads up. With finals coming around, I won't be able to play a few nights here and there
