Watching Grimmz stream, so salty after guy just killed him. Don't know why the need to say so much excuses, as he is such a good player.

He's one of those guys that assigns morality to people's playstyle. Killed 1v1 in an open field: good fight! Killed by someone using 3rd person laying on a roof: trash.

I don't watch his stream, just his highlights. Maybe that's why I like him more. The highlights he seems to tske things in strode 90% of the time.

Grimmmz is a fantastic player and a garbage personality. Says substituted swear words like "mother-trucker". Whinges about how others play and then glitches the edge of water to shoot someone swimming below the surface. Whoever said to stick with his highlights is spot on.

Also you can never unsee what he does with his mouth when shooting or listening for footsteps.

Heed the words of this ancient spirit.
RE: tournaments, there was a Curse Trials duos tournament pretty recently that was fun to watch. Most of the players were actually quite good at not getting killed early on so the third circle usually still had like 60-80+ people alive, making the mid game a lot more interesting to watch.

Also it had BreaK in full loot goblin mode:

He eventually made it out of the blue and iirc came 6th in that round

I just watch Anthony_Kongphan instead. He's a lot more chill, doesn't hide his minimap like a baby, and you get to see the Grimmmz plays without having to suffer Grimmmz.

I feel like Grimmmz is super burned out. He was chill and fun at the beginning but is in a really bad mood nowadays. He would be stupid to jump off his subscription gravy train right now though so he keeps on trucking on.

On a more positive note, Beagle's final game in his last stream was baller: https://clips.twitch.tv/AmazingCheerfulEyeballDendiFace
He went on to win that round also.

re: tournaments: The very first official(?) streamer tournament was really cool. The one with a 1080 for most kills had. Being able to switch to different perspectives after the fact makes for a compelling viewer experience.

Yeah I've been watching Anthony more. I wonder if he'd be able to dominate as much if he didn't play on alt accounts though. It is hilarious for him to queue into squads with randoms and carry them to victory, but it'd be far more educational if his opponents weren't like this:

So is there any real reason for the 60s countdown in the pregame? Once I get on that death zone grind dropping into the fray and dying again and again I get super impatient. I know the OP mentions a play again button being talked about, but what would the gameplay implications be if it just dropped you in the plane the minute the player count was 100?

FYI this will make your squad 500x better.

Also Enemy spotted at SW (compass number) behind tree, firing in 3 2 1 is the correct way to call something out holy poo poo stop saying "HES BEHIND THE TREE!" this game has 50 billion trees in it

"He there"
"Oh poo poo three enemies!"
"I'm shooting him" ('him' never specified)
"Behind you!" (in a four person squad)

I had a similar thought and since then I've been paying attention and I don't think I've ever seen the player count reach 100.

Also you kind of have to give people a grace period if they want to quit before the match starts or something.

Also, I would make all kinds of bets these noobisms are projections of what the person posting them was doing when they first started playing.

You can queue up, get up and go for a piss/grab some water/whatever, and come back in time to not fall victim to whatever chump feels like killing all the afks is a worthwhile use of their time.

^^ Please send feedback to beefstache911@hotmail.com, this is not a joke that 'stache is the real deal. Serious assessments only. ^^

I played with some random goons last night and it was some of the best communication I've had in this game to date. Generally great callouts and info in all of our matches and not much superfluous chatter. We also generally stuck wayy closer together than my typical groups and in fact two of my deaths last night could be attributed to 'getting cute' and not being with the rest of the squad.

Just to mention that being on the edge or in the middle of the circle doesn't matter any more, the circles are distributed equally after the last patch.
