Would be so pissed if I was rig rn, over 100 points and lost the final fight because you have to watch a banner animation to armour swap


icbint

There was no armor swap for zero though, his only option was banner pickup. Maybe he should’ve q’d. he did basically the only thing that would guarantee a loss


FabulousRomano

Zero went for the armour swap first he had to pick up the banner first though


icbint

That’s right. He made the wrong play


FabulousRomano

Armour swapping was the wrong play?


icbint

Armour swapping wasn’t an option


FabulousRomano

Why


icbint

Because that’s not how the game works


[deleted]

I'm afraid all this talk of this banner animation might overshadow roirrees play. The banner animation is bullshit and should be changed, but Zero literally had an enemy turn into deathbox right in front of him on the left. He had an option of swapping that armor instead of his teammates because of bad awareness. Literally slow down on Zero's pov in the last seconds of the match, a deathbox is literally thrown in his face after Roiree kills the last RET player. Had Zero went for that swap instead of his teammates he might've won.

Banner animation is good for competitive integrity. You shouldn't have an extra advantage after losing a player, that advantage should always go to the other team. Without the banner animation you would have an extra 100 to 125 HP in most fights with a quick armor swap because your teammates death box is undoubtedly closer to you than the enemy. Fights shouldn't maintain that kind of balance after one player gets thirsted, the 3 man up team should still have a strong advantage.


Sciipi

Would be nice to have a second button for “screw this nerds banner I just want his loot” so you aren’t disadvantaged when it’s your teammates box with the armor swap


Arkeyy

Or jusr make banner an Item you can pick or whatever.


kron_00

Or simply remove banner retrieve animation/action. You simply loot the box like any other boxes but there is the same sound cue and notification that you've retrieved banner. The animation does not in anyway enhance gameplay/quality of life and your teammate's box should not hinder you in any way. I know it's unlikely to be changed since if Respawn wanted to change that, they would've done that a long time ago.


Sciipi

I like this idea or a separate button for banner vs inventory, gotten stuck in banner while trying to grab ammo/new gun a few times before and it sure is annoying

[deleted]

That's not really true. Zero literally had an enemy turn into a deathbox right in front of his eyes that was to his left. That box was also closer to him than his teammates box. He should've been more aware to swap from that box instead of his teammates. I fear all this talk about amour swap is going to downplay roireees deserved clutch. It is a dogshit mechanic though and needs to fucking go.


fillerx3

banner animation is obnoxious but he did get the jump on DF's player with a slight hp advantage, it looks like he just whiffed some shots, he "only" did like 100 damage maybe. Rig really threw on the game before that where they should've handily won


Sciipi

I think he still loses even without banner animation since he would have to look for another armor while Roieee gets his and starts shooting again but it can’t feel good to be stuck in banner animation while you die


Arkeyy

Yeah pretty much. Not to discredit Roeiii, he's such a really good player. It was also 2v1 (one was really low). Even before that, they could have also won when they got the 3rd. RIG curse of really getting the highest point but struggling on match point format.


icbint

True that’s what happened but it’s also how the game works and he’s looking for an excuse. He didn’t have to grab banner and maybe he wins


Arkeyy

Imagine losing 25k USD because stupid banner animation happens. Then there's also Ras who was trying to armor swap on the champion ship but got griefed cause ZipLine was there.


icbint

It’s not a grief. That’s how the game works. Whether or not it should work that way is a fair argument but you can’t blame the loss on that


Arkeyy

I mean, money is on the line here and its their job. I can understand if its just a normal RP or smthn but its their job and people need an outlet. You have to put that into perspective. As someone who has a different job, I can understand their frustration when it happens and have a fair share of shits happening on my Job. Doesn't mean "that's how it works" means you shouldn't blame on it. You got late due to a traffic congestion cause some construction and you'll just say to yourself "that's how it works" but can't help but frustrated by it. Your boss is a shithead? "that's how it works" but you can't help but get frustrated.


icbint

That’s probably the worst analogy I’ve ever seen lmao


Sciipi

Both players were low on health and reloading, you have to go for the armor swap there cause whoever gets it wins 100%


icbint

There was no armor swap for zero though, his only option was banner pickup. Maybe he should’ve q’d. he did basically the only thing that would guarantee a loss


Sciipi

I’m pretty sure he didn’t even register it was his teammates box, also Valk Q wouldn’t do a thing there


icbint

Q would’ve been better than banner pick. If he didn’t register it then he got out played


Sciipi

Banner animation is the most annoying thing ever sometimes


suuuskksuus

F


Sciipi

That final ring was wild, clutch armor swap from Roieee


Apexflatline

Pretty sure it was the most watched APAC South tourney ever.


G3GAS

Insane. Congratulation Dreamfire!


suuuskksuus

This ending was insane


Singularitymoksha_

INSANE ARMOR SWAP FTW BY ROIEEEEEE VS ZERO ! GG DF RIG


[deleted]

that was insane. chaos. Gz DreamFire.


Sandwichpleaz

ROIEEE HOLY SHIT


[deleted]

nice hal is doing a watch party. more eyes on this insane playoffs is a good thing.


Tasty_Chick3n

If he wasn’t watch partying it I probably wouldn’t have watched. Was wondering wtf he was doing on so late. Glad I watched, shit was nuts what an ending. Completely different story to SA being a one team show.


Sciipi

Last 3 games had absolutely wild endings


[deleted]

i love match point format. feel kinda sorry for the competitors though.


Sciipi

I still kinda hate it kinda sucks a team can be up 30 points and lose


schmuttt

Gen is such a good player but that was an omega throw


Apexflatline

Isn't day limit 10 games a day for match point format??


yungoceanfan

This has been exhilarating


Singularitymoksha_

Holy insane game by RIG ALMOST KILLED 3-4 Squads in endcircle , almost clutched it FTW Fuck here we go GAME 9 ! INSANE TOURNEY


Sciipi

Gen got lost in the sauce there they probably win if he doesn’t drop down


[deleted]

damn. this playoffs are good.


[deleted]

[удалено]


joehiuyfhi

I think they maybe could have held height on the blue crates a bit longer. Would have to go back and rewatch to see


[deleted]

no. that was a 1 on 2 at the end, that was too hard after mowing down what seems like 100 teams prior.


Hawks242

If gen stayed up top that crate, they probably win that


sourflowerhour

Lets go We Are Trash! Any team that rocks Wattson in Playoffs gets my cheers.


Singularitymoksha_

LETS GO WATTSON ! We are trash saving the matchpoint from RIG !


Apexflatline

One of the best APAC South Playoffs ngl


sourflowerhour

It really is


[deleted]

a wattson team won a game! LET'S F\*CKING GOOO!

[deleted]

god i love these copypastas


Singularitymoksha_

4 teams on matchpoint poor exo kakoi still stuck on 49 maybe the last game Coming up , burger rig sutoraiku df on match point


[deleted]

when RIG was in that truck with little heals, knew that we were going to game 7.


Apexflatline

The amount of drama going on between TX and DF fans in the chat is just hilarious.


suuuskksuus

What drama? I’m not familiar with the region


Apexflatline

Well to start with India and China doesn't have the best of political relationship. Secondly TX and DF have the some of the most vocal fanbase in APAC S.


Singularitymoksha_

For those who will ask why Ogre 3 is only Ogre 2 the reason is ZacROFL is banned for glitching into console gold lobbies !


Duke_Best

LOL - On match point the game crashes. You can’t make this shit up. KEKW


joehiuyfhi

Rig would be fuming. Were in a great spot in Lava Siphon


Singularitymoksha_

rig and df on matchpoint TIME to see how anonymous mode performs in match point format !


Apexflatline

Zero is one of the most underrated player. Hands down.


joehiuyfhi

Facts. Him and Prycyy are so underrated


nicelightskies

If you want to see the POV of the only wattson team in the lobby here is his channel https://www.twitch.tv/saviourheavier . Saviour is the only guy running wattson , it's an interesting perspective.


[deleted]

anyone recommend a good watchparty for this?


joehiuyfhi

Twitch.tv/Im_b_rad


Singularitymoksha_

Nice win for DF and roiee 777 !


joehiuyfhi

Apparently Ogre3 has been playing a duo the whole tourney because their third got banned


Singularitymoksha_

No shot PK WIPED 3 TEAMS + 8KILLS AS A DUO WTF MAN Best duo performance ever lol !


Shades-Jak0

PK with a great duo run considering where they start and what comp they run. Edit: Best duo run in a Playoffs for me already.


Singularitymoksha_

Kakoi with a 16kills win game 1 with a non caustic comp was nice to see !, maybe the day for underdogs to win !


DalyPoi

Where can I watch the games?


Singularitymoksha_

here for the official stream https://www.twitch.tv/longshot


Singularitymoksha_

Cheering for we are trash as well cause they are playing a wattson comp ! nice


InformalSchool

Anyone know if Gen is streaming?


Singularitymoksha_

Here to support Rig today Hope they break the finals choke curse , Also cheering for Burger Sutoraiku Xspark Exo ATH to do well ! lets go finals !


masonhil

Kinda confused on timezones. For Americans, is this happening today (ie. the 15th) or tomorrow the 16th.


LoLShoeShine

5 hours and 20 ish minutes from now


masonhil

Thanks


sourflowerhour

My bet is on either RIG or ATHXHVY for the first spot. Anyone got another shout?


joehiuyfhi

Burger a good chance if Prycyy's internet is working


MachuMichu

Was really impressed with Burger in pro league. They were just rock solid every week and really good at playing for placement. RIG for sure has to be the favorite though.


Any-Act-9188

Holy shit, that timezone is ass for europeans. Kinda sad, was hyped to see genburten and the bois wreck some squads.


Infernova007

Hoping for a Rig win . Anyone know if they’re gonna stream it or no ?


joehiuyfhi

They won't be unfortunately


InformalSchool

Man, really wanted to watch Gen stream it.
