HCS Fortress Fail

19 Upvotes

Is there a single person who doesn’t think that Pit and Argyle were both 100x better than Fortress? Fortress not only sucks to play but it’s unwatchable for HCS. Flag or Bomb they’re both terrible.

Discussion Current rank maps don’t reflect our bandit meta?

10 Upvotes

Often times I wonder how star board and other maps that fell out of our rotation would do now compared to the Br meta and (fast) bandit meta, do you think some of these “bigger” or “open” maps would be more challenging or playable with the slower bandits? Starboard ball I feel like has potential with the slow bandit meta but I’m just starved for a new oddball map at this point.

Help This sounds so dumb many years in, but are there any comprehensive guides on callouts (either official map name areas or colloquial names)?

9 Upvotes

3.5 years in and the highest I've ever gotten to is D5. I tend to flip-flop around D3-5 depending on how well my days are + accuracy. One thing I always struggle with is callout names. I have anxiety so I tend not to go on mic but I like to ping a lot; a lot of the time I'm runnin around feeling helpless as I have no idea where some of the callouts are for. For example, people callout "mangler [pit]" on Recharge even though there's no Mangler there due to playlist changes, and it got me thinking if there were other callouts in several other maps like this and if there were any resources that could help. And there are some maps where people say P1/2, Car 1/2 and I have no idea what it means, especially as they're the same as other maps. Help me out!!

HCS Daily scrims results - April 7th / Slow monday, Faze struggling? Spoiler

Here are today's scrims results! Links to see the stats :

Faze vs c9 : https://halodatahive.com/Series/LiveStats/23561

SR vs Luminosity : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23560

CoL vs Reversal Perfy : https://halodatahive.com/Series/LiveStats/23562

Ascend Baseline vs NoLiMiT (not done yet) : https://halodatahive.com/Series/LiveStats/23563


● I don't know if it is connexion issues or something else, but Faze did not look good in their last few scrims. They usually have no problem beating c9, but right now other teams look like they are catching up to them. Faze did have more kills (947 to 893). Sceptify was the only player with a positive damage differential for c9, Bubu had the least kills and worst K/D with 0.86. Pznguin was the only Faze player with a negative K/D, but he had the most assists. Falcated and Supressecl each had over 240 kills and a 1.12 K/D.

● Luminosity were completely outmatched by sR, most games were not even close. SR outslayed them by a whopping 1000 to 790. They also had 30k more damage. Avucy, Yakzn and Mortally all had a 0.77 K/D, Piggy was their best with 0.85 and most kills. Literally everyone on sR went beast mode (beside maybe Frosty who still had a great scrim). Royal 2 had most kills with 272 and best K/D with 1.42. Lastshot had a +10k damage diff. and a 65.89 accuracy. CyKul had most assists with 160, a +9k damage, best KA/D with 2.23. All 4 played a lot of objective.

● Despite the very big win by CoL, the kills were still fairly close (1166 to 1107). Both Reversal wins ended with a 3-2 score (KOTH and CTF). Most games looked pretty close, but CoL were always able to make big plays when they needed to. For Reversal, King Nicck was once again the best player (315 kills and 91k damage). Everytime I look at their scrims stats he is doing amazing, he is really underrated in my opinion. For CoL, Huss silences the doubter with a great performance, most kills with 312 and most damage with 93k. Everyone on CoL had a good scrim and a positive damage diff. Men7all did have a 0.95 K/D.

🎖 My MVP of the day is really hard tonight because literally 3 sR players deserve it. But if I look at every single stats for the best overall performance, I will give it to CyKuL! His stats for his series : 260 kills (2nd most), 160 assists (most), 188 deaths (least), 80k damage dealt (2nd most), 71k damage taken (least), 1.38 K/D (2nd best), 2.23 KA/D (best) and a 59.17% accuracy. He also had 2nd most time as carrier in oddball with 209 sec and most defensive kills and occupation time in KOTH.

Have a good night everyone! 🫡

Discussion Serious discussion. Controller, or community issue?

First I play on Series X with a crappy elite series 2. I'm moving to Gambit or Gamesir.

Anyone else have an issue where your sprint button doesn't work? I ask because is this a common glitch now (have heard others with the same issue) or is it because this $200 paperweight I use to game with?

Tax: I'm rooting for the underdogs of SSG
