https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI17rm1QfXs i'll tldr this so you guys don't die of thorin exposure PEA has large revenue sharing and bigger prize pools than WESA - so it's strange that the players are shouting down the new league. or, alternatively, they could drop faceit's ECS rather than wesa's EPL - there's no exclusivity with PEA, its only been implied. thorin's big point is that PEA is made up of people who know how to make money and actually capitalize on NA's massive goldmine of money. and that WESA is not a great org to begin with

stump collector posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI17rm1QfXs thorin thinks people actually want to watch 40 minutes of him  unsurprising that he is missing the point. PEA is attempting to restrict these players playing opportunities without any input from the players themselves. the players need to unionize so that they have representation when it comes to big decisions like this.

i don't think any of this would've been a big issue if regi didn't fire seangares and try to shake the rest of his players down. My guess is c9 didn't sign any player rights letter because they had either incentives not to do so or because jack talked to them

Is there any competitive CS:GO content upcoming before the ELeague Major? After the flurry of tournaments (and online leagues) of the past couple months, it seems empty for the next month or so.

How long does it take to rank up. I did it once from silver 3 to 4 and the rush is exhilarating but since then I've gotten top or second on my team in points consistently and still nothin

Silver Elite-->Nova1 is really tough, as is Nova 4-->MG1

You need to be winning 8 out of every 10 games you play to make any significant progress upwards. I suggest finding one map you like, get really familiar with the angles/smokes/how a round typically plays out, and just drill that until you've clawed into nova

Since then I've been doing less well and dropped down for like two games, but improved since then and now my opponents are usually gn2-3, so I'm holding out hope for rank up someday.

Pick up the loving phone, talk to the man, and stand by your actions, dickhead. It really is a problem that he didn't go to their actual org management first. This is going around their back to try and get what they want. It sounds like from those texts that management would have been willing to work with the team if this is the way they had felt all along. So he's supposed to continue working for someone who wants to fire him at the first chance he gets?

I seriously hope this leads to a union, so that both sides get a fair playing field and a clear, delineated, line of communication.

Fusion Restaurant posted:Yea pretty sure I wouldn't work at a job where my boss had said anything close to that to me. Famethrowa posted:yeah, the fact that he pretended to be friendly and chill while issuing veiled threats was pretty typical of a management douche. The fact that sgares and co. didn't go to management as soon as they got word of PEA's intention of locking them out of other leagues is just as dumb as PEA not being transparent enough in the first place when they said they would have been. There's absolutely no proof that the owner, while absolutely a giant oval office in all respects, wanted to fire sgares at the first chance he got. Do you know what happens before unions formally announce a strike or a workforce usually bands together against management? They try to negotiate first. This is not what happened and sgares absolutely dug his own grave by going this route. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if TSM takes sgares back onto the line-up after the backlash, because while the players did tarnish the brand in some minimal way, the way management has reacted I think is worse. Even twistzz has said that they are standing by Sean and are not going away silently. In business there's give and take on both sides. Feel free to call me an idealist, but trying to get a monopoly with an iron fist is not how business should be done or achieved. I don't get what's so hard to understand about this: be a man and if you have a problem then go talk to the people directly in charge of it and voice your opinions rather than try to be nefarious about the whole situation and do it behind everyone's backs, just like PEA was trying to do in the first place. It's bringing yourself down to their level. A TURGID FATSO fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Dec 25, 2016 |

unfortunately i think PEA would actually be a much better league to participate in than EPL if they actually raised the amount of money they claimed. the only reason they are upset with the league is that no EU teams have joined on yet. i think it'd be cool if NA dropped EPL and just did PEA, then EU does EPL, then they could invite the top 6 from each league to do a tournament with revenue sharing. i just want to see more money in my dead gay game

Point is, "the he said he said" between players and orgs would be avoided if there was a structured system in place that was more objective. And yeah, I'm leaning more towards the management being shady. They have the power in this situation.

That wasn't the clip I expected. There's another one out there somewhere where the reets selling him the cheats are trying to explain to him how to make them work but he's so thick its an uphill struggle. I don't give a poo poo about moe but those clips always interest me because you kind of see the motivation of the cheater and its a topic I totally lack empathy for. Especially in csgo where you should theoretically get to an appropriate rank and have fun/close games against people on your level fairly easily. e: my bad, headphones plugged into the other pc. Its that exact clip Goofballs fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Dec 26, 2016 |

Perhaps I should have gotten an AA membership because I usually trip because I'm drinking. Not irl though I swear my character actually trips in game because of how toasted I am. Why is this game only fun when I'm drinking? Oh that's right. Everyone is an rear end hat.
