Platinum is looking a bit sparse right now :(
I know a few teams are struggling to lock down players and a few more teams who likely aren't returning. Hopefully some new blood from last season's silver div will come up.

Standin and Steel are amazingly fun to play, but yeah, casters may have trouble since there's action in multiple places at any given moment. Not thrilled about the vitalism redo, but if the right things were changed (spawn times for god's sake) it could be decent. The rest I'm cautiously optimistic about. It's good to force teams, good and bad, to learn new things.

DJC didn't want to play seriously anymore, and that basically left me as stategerist/caller again. I'd rather just play scrims/matches and not have to take the time to come up with stuff outside of that. It didn't seem like there was enough interest from anyone else to fill that gap, so we figured some time off would be good. I get more time for my GF on non-scrim/match nights now :)

I can't speak directly for them, but I've been told Bonus is dead as well. Rip, dear friends.

Mike looks like that crazy guy your buddy swears is cool but then he just starts shooting up everyone during the heist and you have to bail with only half the payout and run back to the van which isn't parked where it should have been and the cops are there waiting and everyone shoots each other and dies.

TS breaking up isn't any big surprise considering all the chatter about members not getting along going back to mid-season. I'd expect vhalin/stabby to sift through the ashes and make another super-team if they can though.

Bonus is losing a couple strong carries, but replacing them with solid players too. If the pickups are what's rumored, they'll be back to their normal level soon.

mTs sticking around is great news, though I'd expect some minor changes to their roster too.

Gangsta Gang might be coming back? Probably with a mostly new roster though.

Tangerine is likely making changes, but we're not really all that sure yet.

BPM has a few players who were up in the air about returning for time reasons last I heard. I do know that Fatcrapper is likely stepping in full-time to replace Rikachu/Mustard on demo though.

IFA is effectively dead afaik, but a few players from the team are planning on staying together and making something new.

They updated the post with rules at some point, but I'm pretty sure it was just a clarification. I read it early monday before the edit in preparation for the 3rd place match and it definitely said that gpit/payloads were only 1 round a piece.

:3

I suppose I should clarify that I didn't make this, just posting it. Sheep's a funny guy and he is from the hood.

He probably wont post it so I will. Here's a video from the summer season when we offclassed featuing the one and only Sheep/Chicago Bread/asdf/r5.Skarlett:

139.

Though because I put off studying for a test to do this stupid piece of shit I rate myself a 90.

If your upload is at 1.5, probably set your bitrate between 750kbps and 1000kbps. Should be able to handle that, just keep testing by bumping it up a bit until you start dropping a lot of frames.

Not OP.

Not a lot of skill, probably more than other utilities aside from Sniper though.

The combo kills aren't really overpowered because they force you into predictable patterns (especially the axtinguisher). You pretty much have to run directly at someone with the axtinguisher, even after airblasting to set it up, so the better players simply shoot you dead. It works best off a flank on an unaware player, which is exactly the same as pretty much any other weapon in this game. Regardless its all combo kills, and any number of things can go wrong.

Kind of gay to play against, but really enjoyable to play.

Try using dxtory or OBS or just something different than whatever you're currently using. I get a jittery feel with decent fps when I use screen region. Dxtory smooths it out for a lot of people.

Agreed with Scholar. Seems like it'd be the easiest way to ensure some real viewership for the casted Plat matches. Most people in lower divs aren't playing 6s as well (or at least higher levels) so the change to Sunday shouldn't really screw them up all that much. If they need to make final adjustments do pregame scrims like everyone else.
