#compsplatoon dm me if ur a hedit/pen who is looking for a low lvl (div 9-10) team pls and thank u

I have a team interested, expect info to go up later today

I don't think I can handle more then 1-2 teams at a time but if you are still interested I might make this a full on service down the road, assuming this "test run" goes well 👻 I do 100% believe I have what it takes

do all of the above
watch out for liter sightline, play for cooler roughly the same, and keep an eye on the hud and keep track of the reef wep to see when they're positioned in a way that makes it look like they're wanting to reef(learned skill, easier to predict then you think)

Any 8s servers out there I could join up? My div 9 ass needs to lock the fuck in with playing Splatoon - really want to commit to improving at the game now.

obvs if you don't like soloq thats fine but I think the most "efficent slash optimal" way to improve fast is to spam x with a growth mindset (review games frequently, don't play if you're not conciously practicing anything, etc)

excalibur 8s or kolos's low lvl 8s are the only 2 active ones from my experience

although, my honest advice would be soloq >>> everything else

YouTube video by Cookie 💜🐰 what does rps actually mean in fighting games? #guiltygearstrive #guiltygear #fgc #bridget

Kind of decisions you WANT to be thinking about midgame and how you should be thinking about it

This is for fighting games but I've really loved sharing it as an explanation of my general thought process for how I think about comp game theory

Rps is a great analogy

Yeag thats kinda the point

Intuitively I think most players understand the game in a similar way (and they might call it "adapting to their opponents") but I've never seen anyone try to knock down exactly what that looks like in a visual guide, goal isn't to be 100% accurate its to visualize the -

Theres unsurprisingly not many good competitive oriented flowcharts in yugioh either sob emoji

Women gamers boycott global esports tournament over trans ban Several teams of female gamers have dropped out of the Dead by Daylight Women's World Cup after trans women were banned.

Yeag I got that much

Its not comprehensive, if I wrote the the full flow out I would include nearly every special (ex I do pay attention to say if they have zooka charged and if I can see them prepping to shoot at me with it)

Looking to hire a graphic designer/promo artist for any art the Splatoon Peer Review server needs, maybe some other things as they come by. Please reach out to me if interested or know someone who would be, I haven’t really commissioned splatoon things before

vaguely based on this ygo flowchart I found

this is very simplified and NOT meant to be all encompassing but I've never seen this visualized so I wanted to give a try and visualize my personal flowchart for how I like to play ramen zones as pen
#compsplatoon
this is half a bit half serious, I want to know what others think abt this

I need to limit how much I play before I give myself genuine carpel tunnel this fucking sucks lol

Can’t win fights?
X Rank -> rage requeue

Struggle with coordination?
Scrim -> tell team to carry you

Stomping most competition but faltering against better opponents?
stop complaining, most people aren't as fortunate

Bad at REVIEW!?
DIE.

this is the mindset of winners

I will raise the line this season

I think its overkill *for now* but my vision is that my ideas will become more of a standard (since I'm gonna be fully honest most new teams are managed really poorly) I would say my target audience with this is newer captains/teams who are/were struggling otherwise

The idea of an igl is taken from other esports, in practice its what we would call the shotcaller(and I think some team dynamics could benefit from formalizing who is "supposed" to be the one leading in-game vs out-game)

I did pitch the idea of stronghold making a forum at one point but its way too resource intensive to build a whole ass forum from scratch rn for us

Can't speak for all the staff but I personally think sunken scrolls differeniates itself from our mission statement by not *just* being about comp resources, iykwim

I do feel this way abt squidboards though, the site is like 85% there and just needs some commitment but nobody wants to

Oh this is a crazy good read
