IT'S ALL TURNED TO SHIT!
Sacriel bitches about the circle constantly. Constantly. Also about desync. He also became a completely unwatchable memelord after the pan blocked shots and the crossbow got added back in. I've been bingeing on pubg streams and JoshOG was probably the best before he started doing custom games all the time. Sacriel I just stopped watching completely after weeks of watching his stream. Summit1G is good when he's not super salty. Destiny was surprisingly good to watch play this game. Fairlight is probably my favourite right now.

So there.

I feel like the sm4 is bull to stop people from using it, I have no problems and the streamers don't seem to have a problem with it either.

I tried that command line instruction set and it made my game crash right before the launch of a match. Playing windowed 1680x1050 on a 1200p screen. Seems to work pretty well.

Also, it seems like simply adding mild serpentine motion into running keeps you alive way longer than armor - you just have to not be predictable in left/right motions.

Well, I just started playing, so my watching streams is watching weapon handling and the like and occasionally hearing "oh, I love this spawn and it seems like no one ever comes here."

Don't have a lot of time to get good, so it's nice to watch someone who's actually good / can close out the tab whenever something comes up instead of being 'after this round' / nice to become sleepy in bed

Streams are good for low-effort watching. Like if I'm mentally exhausted or doing something else and just want something in the background. Kinda like how soap operas are for housewives.

Also pubg streams are kinda exciting because the run could end at any moment. It's like a mini-hit of what playing the game gives you, but at times when you can't play.

Chill thing to have up while you can't be bothered playing, see different strats, see people who are good at it.

In my opinion though the popular PUGB streamers in general are all fairly annoying. Summit is frequently salty/arguing with chat/boring, Sacriel's whole military schtick is dumb and he's super repetitive with the sellout, Cohh and Fairlight are just generally dull but probably the least offensive, DrDisrespect is just... jeez. I actually like Lirik though when he does PUBG, I just find him entertaining/funny while he's still pretty good at the game.

I enjoyed watching Fairlight when he wasn't playing with Josh.

The thing about Sacriel is he will explain for 5 minutes how calm and not upset he is when he's all the way torqued up about the tiniest thing or literal randomness. He's at his best when the rest of his squad is lighting dudes up before he even sees them and just fucks around with a crossbow.

Clearly their proficiency at shooting is supernatural, not practical, in origin.
I like Grimmz. He's pretty good, and he always takes high risk drops so he either kills 4 or 5 people in the school or dies and tries again. Makes for an interesting stream.

I wish the game were a bit better about telling you which direction fire is coming from when you get hit. Yeah I have headphones and they help, but if you're gonna put jam on my screen have it be a bit more informational please.

Lirik is really good because he won chicken dinners in ARMA III BR until this game came out on the routine

Sacriel only drives me crazy because he equips a crossbow then gets frustrated by his team's communication skills when he's singlehandedly handicapping them because LOL THE CROSSBOW = WIN. Otherwise he's very good at explaining things and he plays very tactically and teaches good callouts

Can confirm that if you watch kongphan+grimmmz duos you will be seeing lots of hyper aggressive play. They'll get more serious about using cover and playing relatively conservative if it's late in a round and they've got a chance at a chicken dinner, otherwise it's all about provoking fights. They're also quite good at tactics and communication, but not in a dumb "look at how military I am" way. They are dudes playing a video game at a fairly high level but not taking it too serious.

Also it might be an acquired taste but imo pflax is hilarious when he goes on those unhinged rants. I wouldn't blame anyone who can't stand him though (and tbh I suspect he'd say the same, he isn't one of those people who have zero self awareness).
