Ok NA Regionals was weird. Every Blue team lost their match, everyone on blue side complained about audio issues.


Liquid vs Renegades was a 3-0 but probably the closest series played so far, what a great a great rivalry.


I'm also not sure if TP was just good or Optic still struggles.

Optic just isn't very good outside of mechanics... They completely whiffed on a chance to pull the 3rd flag on truth, with 3 enemies down...

And on plaza strongholds it took them 40s to setup to take nest (I was surprised they held yard and mid for so long), and by the time they got there, they ended up getting triple capped..

They make a ton of mistakes that you'd expect from a team that doesn't have good leadership.

I think they have the raw skill to win, but nothing else...

thanks. I checked there earlier actually and the standings hadn't been updated... Or maybe it was because I kept trying the other tabs and overlooked the overview lol Can't remember

I wish there was an easy place to view the standings so far. I still have no idea what happened in those stage 2 matches...

If you mean what I think you mean, this page has the table for the current standings?

I have no idea why they don't have an official page updating with this info though.

Edit: Super late.

 

[Complicated]

Very weird that nobody complained during the matches. How hard could switching out a mixamp have been?

Yeah. After the first round something should have been done.

It's not just switching them. It's also having them available and then testing them I guess. Apparently its being tested/rectified for today:

They did, refs told them it is like this for everyone.

That's really really bad. Did none of the players complain about the issue during the games? What happened with that? That's certainly a sour taste.

DUDE that is bullshit. Just saw this. They should replay the day considering you're potentially screwing up the chances for a lot of teams to go to worlds.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Astro for the win, this situation is really terrible for all the teams affected simply unacceptable

 

[Feel the Swift]

Lol why would the refs lie like that when clearly everyone was not experiencing the same issues

we better get the update end of next week

 

[JackHerer]

So yeahhhh.... They definitely should replay all those matches. Massive failure on the part of the organizer/tech team behind this tournament. How do you not correct that issue immediately? Even if you have to stop the stream for an hour or two to fix it that's better than just ignoring it and essential compromising the legitimacy of the tournament.

Looking good, with luck it'll be the first decent Arena DLC map.

maybe when oddball is out, right now it is not a good 4v4 map in the competive sense.

It's not great or anything, but decent? Sure.

Looks completely unique. I have yet to see an Arena map that looks like that. I'm so happy we have arena maps that utilize a variety of architecture and visual design so that it doesn't feel stale.

Exactly try to picture them using Riptide in HCS, you can't because it's awful.

I see what you did there. Seriously though I'd like to see some more organic environments in Arena.

It almost definitely was but it was probably not something prepared for and the refs will have said sorry you're SoL.

Niceee. It's like Riptide and Empire had a baby.

I know it's supposed to be a play on Sports and Spartan, but Sportan just looks and sounds funny.

Only played 2 games but I'm liking the social CTF playlist so far

I don't wanna play ranked all the time.

 

[Akai__]

I find the design exteremely boring, as it's yet an other UNSC map. Obviously don't know how it will play, but we'll see.

Anyone know how many maps we will still get? It was 18+ post launch, which means 18 minimum, iirc. God, please let us get more maps with Covenant, Genesis and Forerunner art-style. Thanks.

I dislike that it's 5v5, most of the maps can't handle it.

I know 6 of them were Warzone, which is really 3 as they count the Assault variants as a map.

4v4 would be cool but I'm fine with it at 5v5. More things to shoot ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

Hell no.

I like riptide a lot, more for slayer, overgrowt i like it more for strongholds.

This needs to come back. A Reach style master list with sub menus for the skins. Current system is terrible for organization.

You crazy
Have you only played games where you've been destroyed in Riptide or something?

The only real issue with it is the fuel rod sucks.

I have yet to have a fun game on Riptide, I'm genuinely curious if it's even possible, so much so that I want it to come up more so I can see.

SH Riptide is a lot of fun, IMO.

This is the big thing. I don't so much care how it looks, but it's a mess right now. Alphabetical order (or even better, multiple sort options) and submenues are an absolute must.

 

[Madness]

That's the biggest issue with Halo 5 maps. Curated really well for singular experiences. Example: Rig plays great for Strongholds but really sucks for things like Doubles, Slayer, SWAT imo.

 

[Strider]

Agreed.

I give OverGrowth a lot of shit but I do quite like it for Strongholds (which I assume is what it was designed for)... Slayer on that map is the fuckin worst though.

/s I'm sure

------

These matches are so incredibly important today. The structure of this event is great for us fans because we get to watch incredibly intense matches but it's pretty fucking garbage and stressful for the pros I'm sure.

These teams have been playing this game full-time since release and half of them are gonna walk away with $0. Ouch.

The rumored league to follow should make for a much healthier scene IMO

 

[Poodlestrike]

Slayer is the fuckin worst though.

Agreed.

 

[Glass]

No pressure for whom?

I guess either, but mostly Optic Gaming. They basically have to win both their games today to make it to worlds, and one of those matches is against the #1 seed. Going to be tough watching a team who brings in so many numbers for Halo go out when they're a fan favourite and them just getting this far was a great storyline.
