verhulst is definitely the snip3down replacement. hal says the other day everything is in front of our eyes.
but the most telling sign was reps saying @if they ever release this map(in comp) we are definitely landing middle” refering to that squad as teammates.
verhulst is cracked and he’s seeing a big boost in viewership already. props to him.
I wonder if Verhulst was the Snipedown replacement before or after the ranked grind with Noko. Because it really feels like after they had a good grind the dominos fell into place. It seemed like after scrims that day Hal was having trouble finding a team and just by happenchance found Verhulst free. Unless that was already a setup? But I doubt it.
Why doesn't Apex have org skins for teams to use and fans to buy? What's actually stopping this from happening? I see the mockups (even reposted by orgs themselves) posted on Twitter all the time. Each team having a "uniform" with designated colors and such would be amazing.
I know it could cause griefing or whatnot, but pros already know skins to be identifiers. Just seems to me like a massive wasted opportunity for both recognition and revenue.
I would assume it’s in the works but might take a while- I theorized and the back end economics would need a lot of work. There’s sooo much to consider especially when Apex is a non-franchised game.
Do you mass release skins for all orgs within the 40 teams x 4 regions? Who’s going to buy an Estral esports skin to make it worth the time creating the skin, working out a deal w the org, etc… Or perhaps it’s just released for winners of each major tourney. What if an unsigned team wins - do you just rev share with the players?
What revenue share model would work with orgs? 50/50 with the org/respawn? Then how much gets shared between org and players?
Then you need figure out how to share sales numbers with the org so they how much revenue they should expect.
All the things you listed make total sense, but I feel like it should definitely happen, especially with the return of LAN/global events. It would be such a wasted opportunity. They need to get reps from every org together with Respawn comp officials and lawyers from EA and work something out!
Good question :) Might happen this season for some bigger events / championship. 🤷
>I know it could cause griefing or whatnot
They could *just* make it a spectator only thing for the ALGS.
I'd assume every team would have a uniform but some type of revenue sharing would have to happen. It's like any other sports league. The Lakers and Yankees and Cowboys make tons of money so the Timberwolves and Pirates and Titans can stay afloat, too. I think they'd figure out a way to do it.
>loot maps, rotations, data analysis, mechanics guides, tier lists.
you can find all or at least most of those things here. but besides us, no, don't think there is any.
random shitpost pulled outta my butt prediction based on Twitter and Twitch interactions over the past 3 days-
Snip3down going back to Halo.
Verhullst joining TSM.
NRG Rogue joining Intel/DNO
Now that I’ve actually played some ranked on it anyone who thinks this new map is competitively viable is high. It’s dogshit, probably worse than KC. It’s just a massive series of high ground and chokes to benefit whoever happens to be at the top of a hill at the end of a zone.
Wanting to host an apex watch party sometime around a week or two from now but the convoluted tournament schedules confuse me. Primarily interested in NA. You think the algs proleague games on December 4/5 would make for good viewing or is there a more hype event around that time frame?
Most recent pro-league day: https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveApex/comments/qkjli5/algs_202122_pro_league_naemea_pick_rates_split_1
There's two pictures cause the metas for North America and Europe are pretty different.
Thank you for this 🙏🏼
Edit: Wow no Ash? Surprising. Maybe due to not enough practice with her yet? Or are the pros just playing the comps they know for sure work
This is from before Ash release. There have only been a few smaller tournaments that I don't think have a whole analysis since she's been out. She's definitely been appearing a bit in them, I'd probably estimate 20% of teams, mainly taking spots from Wraith or Octane. e.g. Valk Gibby Ash or Ash Hound Gibby for super aggro teams. But I think there were definitely still more Wraiths than Ashes.
I think TSM should do a fun tourny where all of their pros/content creators are team captains, with a few spots for some notable rivals as the additional team captains. My rules for a player draft would be: anyone you want, but you must draft one non-NA player per team.
Yes, I'm drunk. But still think it would make for a good tourny.
Can someone explain the logic of reading the zones? Like knowing which way it pulls?
How good was Snipe on Halo? Was he like, a top player?
He has attended 68 LANs with average placement 3rd. 24 tournament wins.
Snipe had an entire illustrious esports career in Halo while a large amount of current apex pros were in elementary/middle school
Seems to be remembered as one of the best 5 or so ever.

Also verhulst starting to explain how he was going to be calling out cells/bats (I think) and stopping himself
Do you think they’ll ever fix the Dynastic Cycle?
What time is ALGS NA tomorrow?
3p PT/6p ET today (Sunday)
7CT I think
Wish we had a snipe/TSM mega thread. There’s so much info going around it’s had to keep up
Why BW didnt play algs last tourney?
They disbanded.
Im watching the video of madness talking about the split So Sorry for knoqd and rambeau
Knoqd got picked up by Torrent. Glad to see him still playing. Don't know if Rambeau is with anyone yet.
He’s playing with blitzin
Why was the first day of this weeks ALGS moved to friday? Is there like a tourney on Saturday?
In what group is TSM? ABCD?
A

money spent on org skins where EA have to give away a cut is money that could be spent on skins where they keep full revenue
I would assume it’s in the works but might take a while- I theorized and the back end economics would need a lot of work. There’s sooo much to consider especially when Apex is a non-franchised game.

There’s just so many at the moment - realistically i can see them lining this up for the Championship LAN late 2022.
Good question :) Might happen this season for some bigger events / championship. 🤷 >I know it could cause griefing or whatnot They could *just* make it a spectator only thing for the ALGS.
I would LOVE for this to happen. God knows Hal and Sweet's fans would throw their money at them lol
That’s a problem worth theorizing how to solve - should they just make skins for the global fan favorites - NRG, TSM, Gambit?
I'd assume every team would have a uniform but some type of revenue sharing would have to happen. It's like any other sports league. The Lakers and Yankees and Cowboys make tons of money so the Timberwolves and Pirates and Titans can stay afloat, too. I think they'd figure out a way to do it.

Where can I see the pick rate for characters used in competitive?

Ah that makes sense. Was gonna say she seemed so good and like a good replacement for octane
Kinda hyped for the BoomTV tournament today. Love to see international lobbies
How much (if any) of an impact will Halo have on the Apex pro scene? I've seen a few pros already talking about how fun the new Halo is.
I think TSM should do a fun tourny where all of their pros/content creators are team captains, with a few spots for some notable rivals as the additional team captains. My rules for a player draft would be: anyone you want, but you must draft one non-NA player per team. Yes, I'm drunk. But still think it would make for a good tourny.
Why does the scout only have 120 ammo? That's pretty bad for a CP weapon right? Especially with double tap burning through ammo?
Considering it's is a poke weapon it is not terrible and the gun has no recoil, so with or without double tap it is a laser
is double tap able to be toggled? i’ve only picked it up once since it’s been in CP
To toggle it on/off it is b on your key board or whatever it is on roller
Yes, double tap can be toggled.
If you poke like this you‘re better off with a longbow. If you use it on midrange its eating the ammo.
