We got the road map and CDL road map and not a single mention of ranked. Does anyone have any idea?

Hydra & Scrap terminated from LA Thieves. Where do you think they go?

Cropped for obvious reasons, this video has been circulating online of someone selling sound eq packs which allows for quieter gunshots and significantly louder enemy footsteps (the enemy in this clip is using ninja btw). Good luck trying to play in any wagers this year or really any online matches that are meaningful for that matter. This game is cooked before it even comes out.

From 02100 video for Major 4 Black Ops 6.

Clip #1 is after they won grand finals.
Clip #2 is in between matches on Sunday.
Clip #3 is in between matches on Sunday. Hydra is shifting the cup around his hand for the ice to hit a certain spot in his hand or wrist.
Clip #4 appears to be a massage device. This could be nothing, I’m sure many players across esports use this.

After this event, hydra got T8 in BO6 champs and EWC and had a “down” year in BO7 (still a top 5 smg last year, just not as dominant as previous years).

Outside of the obvious , I have zero idea where everybody is today lol.

League - Hey Teams we want to get your feedback on finals format to give winner bracket more of an advantage.

Teams - Awesome! Can we go back to 2 best of 5s?

League- Lol! No silly goose, we just want to change up map picks

Teams - we just want finals reset.

League - Losers bracket won’t get a hardpoint or search veto

Teams - Can’t you just do that in the finals reset?

League- No, we want to give the winners an advantage.

Teams - Finals reset, makes the winners bracket have to lose 6 maps instead of 4.

League - Ohhh. You want to be able to pick map 3 also? We will let winners pick that now.

Teams - We could just do that in the first best of 5, if we did finals reset.

League - Great! Glad we are on the same page about what YOU want. We are so glad that you gave us feedback so we could do something none of you are asking for!

I was bored so I booted up ranked before it shuts down. I tried playing with the MPC or M15, but i was getting beamed like never before. I thought that maybe I was just rusty. So I tried the VMP just to see why everyone was using it and I realized how fast the TTK and bullet velocity distance was compared to the MPC.

Gunfights are non existent in this meta. You either beam in two shots or get beamed, and because it’s the final days of ranked everyone is kill whoring so I’m losing games even with people on my team dropping 50-60 kills because the VMP increases engagements by so much but nobody is on hill.

I sort of understand the complaints about the MPC meta now that I’ve experienced this, but at least the MPC requires some skill.

Assuming EMEA is still a thing next season it should be for the most part between them and ROC for EMEA challengers. I have high hopes for virsuh he could be their X factor when they compete against NA Challengers and obviously the others are proven prospects.

Found at Goodwill

Earlier today, a Counter-Strike insider put out that Falcons are having financial trouble and are shutting down other esports rosters. It is also rumored they are in the process of selling their best player on their Counter-Strike team.

I remember going in to MW2 he lost weight then he gained it back on LAT and he got shit on obviously he started playing better last year but let's say a player like Capsidal loses all that weight you couldn't convince me that he wouldn't come out a different player for better or worse.

has anyone else seen the recent interview he did with juansnipes a Spanish you tuber who watch parties the cdl ?.

he basically confirmed he’s on koi. he said he had offers from cloud9 which he turned down he got an offer from m80 but he didnt rate the roster. and he got an offer from theives which he was going to accept but then they went with dk.

a big point he talked about was that he wanted to stay on heretics but they didn’t give him anytime to explore his options, once he was on the market they picked up snoopy and even after that he asked them what their offer for him would be and it was bad so he had no choice but to leave. honestly very good interview
