He is one of the only guys who is routinely good-mannered during matches, and doesn't ever really play [Obviously Broken Character of the Current Patch], so it was nice for example to see him (and some other people) winning by some other means than maining BALANCED ADAM, GUIDO OF LIGHTNING.

Lmao yeah he only plays known lovely characters Red Hood and Deadshot instead.

He won a pro tour event with Captain Cold, a character that had been widely considered a joke and that no one else played. He has also busted out a Black Canary in top 8s

Nobody good at this game thought Cold was a joke.

Or later, later's fine.
But now would be good.

He also brought out Scarecrow at a time when everyone thought he was a fun but awkward character, busting out "nobody good at the game thought <thing that you can definitely Monday morning quarterback into being correct>" does not make you right or smart.

I'm right though. The only people who thought he was a bad character are the people who memed about him being a "bad Sub-Zero."

Is Injustice 2 really considered a legitimately good and interesting esports title? How many big name fighting game players are in the esports scene for this game? It's hard to say if a character is really that good if the pool of talent is small. I have no idea if it is or not.

That pro tour event Captain Cold was explicitly after the patch that massively buffed Cold and everyone he was fighting was playing characters that suck against cold. Canary is legit though. But claiming Sonicfox plays low tier is kind of a stretch, considering everything he played in MKX and Injustice 2.

Big-name players don't play NRS games but the people who do have enough skill, or at least enough game-specific knowledge, to keep talented opportunists from sleepwalking their way through NRS tournaments for the money.

Goon Squad is still accepting members but yea Guild Multiverse is bleh. Maybe Opioid can tell us if the higher level of guild multiverse are worth it!

It's only worth it if you're going after Legendary gear. The Gear Drop Rarity buff you get from a hard working, organized guild will make the 0/250 rare or epic gear sacrifice requirement a realistic thing.

Having said that, if I don't earn 500 guild points daily, my guild will kick me out immediately. They made that very clear.

fwiw it looked like my gear got deleted with the last patch but I hosed with another page for a minute (the motherbox tab i think)then went back and everything was there

so don't immediately freak if your stuff looks gone
