Wouldn't the simplest solution for that be to have different team colors, then?

Red vs Blue tho.

Man I love HWCs so much. Made me load up Halo 5 again, only to realise I lost a thumbstick when moving. 20 days replacement time.

Lot of new teams to me, but TL is a constant.

Any gaffers playing at HWC?

The balloons make it.

 

[blue_phazon]

Looks like an accurate number of people who are into competitive halo in Burbank. I mean we have to keep in mind that this is getting ~15000-20000 viewers worldwide. Which is tiny.

Oh well, still fun to watch

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Also it started at 10am, most gamers are probably just barely waking up

You're not counting the other twitch stream, twitter, beam, or facebook streams.

Phil Spencer told employees in xbox and all studios to put the stream on to inflate numbers

 

[SCHUEY F1]

If I was closer I would be there. If your a fan of Halo and at least 4 hours or less away you should be there.

 

[Papasmurf531]

Kinda disappointed there have not been any codes today.

Those balloons in the above picture tho, lol.

oh my god, I can't stop laughing

Former caster.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Welp there goes Soar Gaming...

 

[YourExWife]

Went to take a shower -> Crowd Pleasers loses a game to London Conspiracy? ok, then.

 

[TheOddOne]

What the hell Huke.

Oh please don't ruin this thread as well.

 

[op_ivy]

Oh please don't ruin this thread as well.

I thought the same but bit my tongue.

 

[jem0208]

I thought the same but bit my tongue.

It's just so painful.

We've had a fantastic event so far with tonnes of really good games and people are complaining about fucking balloons.

It really puts a damper on the experience when you go to post about an awesome game and it's nothing but complaining about something which is frankly irrelevant to 99.99% of the audience.

 

[CyReN]

Yea, apologies guys. Well enjoy this event and pretend everything is ok!

 

[op_ivy]

Snipedown is going off!

 

[jem0208]

Yea, apologies guys. Well enjoy this event and pretend everything is ok!

Really don't need to pretend.

For the VAST MAJORITY of the audience this event has been near enough perfect. So yeah, everything is okay.

Anyway, I'm done with this pointless conversation.


Shame about LC there, some really questionable plays. Ramirez with the snipe was just so silly.

 

[blue_phazon]

I can't watch this it's too bloody for my innocent eyes.

Lol @ Eric's face at the end

 

[Papasmurf531]

Some plays that London Conspiracy had were really making me scratch my head. Lot of choking in that match for them.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Man seems like there's a lot of total wipeouts in the finals. Don't see Supremacy pulling off a reverse sweep.

 

[TheOddOne]

Nice cap by Pistola.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

This tournament has been pretty lit so far, really enjoying it.

 

[jem0208]

Damn, supremacy got destroyed.

We had 80k concurrent at some point yesterday and Twitch only made up around 20-25k of that.

Not that I care but where else is the streams popping , beam?

 

[jem0208]

Beam, twitter and Facebook.


Also nV vs CP about to start. This should be a good match.

Ahhhh, I like both of those squads. I'm conflicted on who I want to win.

I feel like nV is going to get the W though.

U4ix, the hero we deserve but not the one we need right now. Is that the alley venue thing? Just crazy. Aftet this season, they really need to kiss some MLG or Gfinity ass and get them to run all LAN events.

I'm also not a fan of using Beam and another numbers to inflate the viewer count. This HWC is getting less than 25k viewers on twitch. That is a massive drop considering last year was over 100k on Sunday on twitch.

CP? I thought they got knocked out by Ripp'n yesterday?

Anand of course rural internet is shitting the bed when I need it (want it) most. Ugh.

That's the entrance and overflow tent.

They got knocked into the loser's bracket.

They said we got 80k concurrent viewers yesterday with twitter added on, pretty hard to believe personally but I hope it's true.

I just hope we aren't stuck with Beam only streams in the future, but could see MS pushing that.

 

[Robin]

What a comeback from FAB. They looked awful until those last few minutes. Really hoping they can beat Splyce now.

I walked away for a minute and came back hearing the casters talk about the players scratch their head and wondering what happened. I'm in the same boat, lol

Gotcha.

Tents looking filled now with side events, pretty cool.

Nah, they'll put it up everywhere. What don't you like about Beam?

 

[CyReN]

No one knows what it is (ie: people know Twitch for streaming, Youtube for vids, etc)

Heard good things, but having a product can attract casual and new fans is big.

 

[stay gold]

nV just shit on CP game 1.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Competitive Halo is so damn good.

Yeah, that wasn't a very good start for CP, got completely dominated.

Competitive Halo is so damn good.

Indeed.

 

[op_ivy]

NV looking way better than yesterday. I'd love to see them pull out a losers bracket run again
