I'm pretty sure the thread is just a rotation of dumb streamer poo poo, awful 5 minute long single kill videos that no one should have to watch and are a literal waste of bandwidtch, crying about RNG not favoring them, and arguments about why the uzi and crossbow are the best weapons in the game. I'm really glad I made it.

Hey, we got horns didn't we? And they're ruining streamers' lives so I'd go ahead and call that a victory.

this thread's disdain for streamers is p strange, esp given how harmless streaming as a concept is and the fact this game would be dead on arrival if not for the fact like three streamers started playing it when it came out and blew it up

Unironically my favourite setup that doesn't require airdrops at this point is Vektor with Red Dot and M16 with 4x.

The M16 with a 4x is the best gun in the game from 50 to 250 meters, the Vektor has the highest DPS inside 50 meters and at higher MMR levels, people don't stand still long enough for the Kar98 to outperform the M16 at medium and long range.

Most of the time I'll take any full-auto AR with a compensator as a replacement for the vektor, and a kitted-out SKS is basically as good as the M16 as your 4x gun. It hits a bit harder but is less accurate, especially on the follow-up shots.

People gotta hate. It makes them feel better. Grimmmz has been saying he hosed up all night. Yes I am lame and watch streamers while I am working. Funny thing is all the Grimmmz hate is causing over $2000 in donations to him.

Personally I'm tired of seeing three posts per page of shamed nerds making cringey posts asking "why do you guys care about streamers??" and spreadsheeting autists getting mad that not everyone uses the ~objectively best~ weapons and either intentionally or through sheer force of ego misinterpreting posts into bad weapon user strawmen. I'd rather watch one kill videos all day.

the answer is obviously just click the twitch clips and ignore everything else because it's inevitably either a sperg post or a post replying to a sperg post

It feels like they've tweaked the table numbers recently because I've been seeing the vector much more often than I used to. Which makes me happy because the vector is my favorite gun in the game.

Also yes it's about time for duos. I'm interested to see how this goes compared to yesterday. New cameraman perhaps?

Yeah there's always downtime in pubg like while looting or waiting for the next circle so a lot of streamers take some time to read chat or just donations. But yeah if you're this big of a streamer and streamsniping is a problem you need a delayed stream and not this dumb chat interaction bullshit like who gives a gently caress honestly but hey you know whatever.

Yeah, the woman commentating is brilliant and generally catches all the little details, the man commentating is always 3 seconds behind and the cameraman might as well be one of those drinking birds. They really need to hire some proper observers if they want to run tournaments in the future.

Someone from the org also gave the dumbest explanation ever: Apparently it takes around 4 seconds to fully load high-res textures when switching to a new target when observing via the ingame client, which is why all switches generally happen with a 4 second delay. Even if that's a technical limitation with the ingame observation, why do they not just use the ingame obs function for map and birds eye views and get streams directly from each player computer, seeing as every player is on an event-built computer anyway. It's complete amateur hour. Unclear where all the money from the scam boxes went.

its a beta tournament friend. I think its not so bad compared to the charity tournament which was so awful and boring to watch the official stream. I think it'll only get better in the future as casters and obs get better over time.
