G1N RICKY

This is exactly how I feel, I’ve been stuck in what I referred to as the “plat hole,” always ranking mid plat and then never being able to move, especially with how often I solo queue. This season I ranked initially D1 and am contently sitting at D2, my matches have been much more consistent so overall I’m pretty happy with how trueskill is working out.

You'd think he would've tried to go out with a bang, not an 0-4 loss for 4th.

Liquids chairs must have been by request, no chance there was that much of an oversight...right?

This has been such an advantageous series.

NV playing like shit tonight, about to get knocked out of the tournament by some pickup teams.

What are the feelings here on the oddball playlist? Aside from the fact that it's currently a social game type with AR's and radar, does it appear to be promising? With how stale competitive H5 has become I'm itching for a new game type so I'm just wondering how the competitive community feels about its potential inclusion. Also makes me wonder if it would make it possible to utilize some of the DLC maps since it potentially plays much differently than the other 3 game types.

Super happy to see Luminosity take that series. Cam with that frenzy!

Well it didn't take long for that sticky glitch to have game changing effects...

I've been a pretty big VicX fan for a while now, he's easily one of if not my favorite players. I think overall he's kind of ended up on the wrongs side of some strange team dynamics but he's always been a very solid player. Right now, however, I think he's absolutely benefiting from not only this new LG squad meshing extremely well but also from the new settings. Its actually giving people with real knowledge of the game the ability to make smart plays without being punished by a quick pulse nade or someone with an AR crouching off radar. I'm very excited to see what this LG squad has to offer going forward, but also super happy to see someone like VicX getting some much deserved recognition.

Ola is pissed...GG's to Liquid though, what a series!

Can we talk about how Heinz was considering retirement?

This is the most hype series yet this weekend!

I tuned in as fast as I could but caught a 30 second twitch ad...feelsbadman...

Literally watching a repeat warzone montage while a game 5 is going on...fuck you Halo...

Holy fuck someone get me a streaaaam!

LG so close in those games, awesome series. Also, is it really that hard to have secondary stream support? Honestly I don't know the logistics of it, but it would've been awesome to just be able to jump straight into the Liquid/IC matchup that's 1-1 right now...

As someone who truly enjoys playing GoW, I cannot stand watching it...Halo, even with its insufferable production quality, is still much easier to follow and is overall easier to watch. *IMO

If I don't get to see Cratos spike another controller on stream this weekend then suffering through this event will not have been worth it...

Has any team who was in the lead before a replay actually won a replay yet?

Power outages/server crash...I feel like I'm having deja vu.

Danoxide made some reeeeally good points in that winnerview...

Are they going to be doing the separate red/blue listen in twitch streams?

FearItSelf currently coaching for the LG squad, didn't know I could like this squad any more than I already do.

Holy shit PLEASE let Shooter and his squad destroy Cratos at St Louis! Thanks for the whole story, I'm honestly still in disbelief about this whole thing...how in the hell is ESL siding with this bullshit loophole crap...looks real bad for them. On a related but slightly off topic topic: what does this mean for the pro league? That leaves only 7teams with a garunteed spot, right? So IC and PS are going to have to square off for that? And then what, the loser hopes to knock Team Loophole out at relegation?

I absolutely agree with that statement. I will say it makes me root for them as a huge underdog even more with top teams not even giving them the time of day(although we really don't know the situation, it could entirely be hat they haven't asked for scrims).
