Most likely. He and flusha are the only original Epsilon members left, and JW always was a guy who valued playing with friends a lot.

maybe if fnatic would stop being so puggy, practice tactics, and stop relying on raw skill, they could actually win all of these winnable games.

these up and coming teams are absolutely dominating, and its entirely due to their team tactics.

VP is not really an up and coming team though.

true, but they really floundered up until now.

maybe I'm wrong, but there really seems to be a new meta forming of flexible teamplay, rather then leaning on all-star players.

Flexible teamplay is what fnatic do which is why their ct sides are usually some hot poo poo. The t-sides seem to lack the set ups of sk, navi etc so they flounder way more if things don't go their way. I'd hate to see them go full bot nip doing the same poo poo over and over. Like you would want the set ups of navi and the ability to go off book at a moment's notice like vp/sk but I dunno I guess thats not fun for them.

I went to the ELeague semifinals and finale this weekend and snapped a few lovely photos.

I bought got the VIP package and it came with some extra amenities. However, I think this area was available to all. There were a few tables with computers setup for people to play CS, a HyperX vendor display stand, a couple (cash?) bars, and some food and seating. On the other side of the wall was some laser tag and a Dust2 backdrop for photos. This seemed pretty nice. I think the VIP area was just a terrace inside that was a bit less crowded and had some comfy seating, and I did some reading there inbetween the semifinal matches.



Based on the seating chart, I thought I bought a ticket in the middle of the ninth row. However, I think that the stage took over the area where the first seven rows normally are, so I was in the middle of the second row. I probably would have preferred to have been back a few rows so I wouldn't have strained my neck as much to see the big monitor.


The VIP package came with some stuff, pictured here. I wish I had looked at what was in there before I went home on Friday so I could have used one of the four $5 concession vouchers. Four $5 concession vouchers and a $10 merch voucher seems pretty nice. The water bottle is a super goofy shape. I'm told the pin has some value, so I guess I need to figure out what to do with it.


I was rooting for VP, and the crowd were definitely behind them, so it was great to watch them win.

second half of 2015 VP was fnatic's only real opponent through flexible, crisp tactics... it's nothing new, VP has always been like this. If anything their slumps are the times when they lose the insane precision of their teamplay.

I capture my garbage shots in garbage quality thanks to OBS.

(The program itself is good, I just can't configure it to record me well.)

What's your upload speed like? There are a bunch of settings you can change up, but which enconder and the range you want to put the various properties in is going to depend on how much you can send out.

E: Oh you're recording not streaming. Well what're your CPU/GPU like? Similar issues will apply.

Also on an iMac you are kind of hosed because you have an iMac, other dude. :( You could try OBS, they have a cross-platform version, but I would guess you'll hit hardware limitations that mean it will be poo poo quality. I would probably just use the in-game demo recorder.

(in the console right after you join a server: "record 16AcesByMe" without the quotes)

I just record and download the match after. That's why I wanted the record program to edit it in premiere. And it's a new iMac atleast and top of the shelf. I think it's 27inch with Retina display.

Oh, if you just want it to be editable and are already recording demos, you can definitely do that:

yeah you want OBS with NVENC at like..30,000 bitrate that's pretty much 1080p quality if I remember correctly.

It seems like at the end of every weekend I think I learned the lesson of you should just not play at the weekends. So many shitters, cheaters and malignant trolls. Its like a different game midweek. Also whats with eastern europeons thinking communication is for pussies. Like you're focused on what you're doing but you should know me and my retard friend died on a in the most ridiculous manner possible and you're about to get shot in the side of the head because that's what happens 15 seconds into the round and we've said nothing

I haven't bought esea before but ive been on the verge so often but it just seems so ridiculous that you have to pay for the real game of the game you have, do they at least have mics there. Can the pubbies tell you when they've failed and where its coming from? EU esea that is.

I've had bad games tonight as well, but I'm not going to read too much into it. I've had too many games where we've just steamrolled the other team, it stands to reason that the same would happen to me eventually.

I'm not putting up with trolls or idiots on the mic though. Ain't nobody got time for that. I mute and block those doofuses with the quickness.

More than anything, it's the screaming that gets to me. I have to set voice_scale to .1 just to keep it manageable and then I still end up having to mute some people because they won't stop screaming into their microphone.

Because some people feel like it's a damnable sin to mute people in competitive.

Because some people have serious brain problems.
