A bit of an insane update to Champs Qualification Odds. With certain teams requiring subs due to visa issues this opens the door for players from eliminated teams to continue to gain champs points. The biggest examples are Floating subbing for Wolves and Albralelie subbing for Team WaR. Previously these players original teams were all but eliminated from champs. DKR (Floating) had a 0.42% chance to qual and Stallions had a 0.01% chance. Both needing an INSANELY low cutoff. But with these players playing in Vegas they can earn points which WILL add to their original teams totals. This sees DKRs champs qualification odds jump from 0.42% -> ~89% and Stallions odds jump from 0.01% -> ~47% Naturally this also negatively affects the qualification chances of all other teams with those two back in the mix to potentially limit the spots even further. Quite an interesting story line we have heading into Vegas. We shall see who all ends up subbing and if they can manage to get their team into champs because of it
Crunched some CHAMPS POINTS numbers. With Vegas being teams last chance to gain points most of the spots are largely filled. Full spreadsheet below

Apex comp will be fine 🙂 While I don't agree with this choice (obviously), the scene is brimming with great storylines & a bunch of killer talent. It's sitting in the top 10 most played games on steam right now, with updates coming. I don't see a reason to be doomer about it.

Thanks Apex Fam 🫶 That's it from me, at least for now. I won't be casting at Vegas, and seems unlikely going forward. What a time huh... 🥹 I'm super proud of what I've achieved with Apex esports. I'd dreamt of making a living from esports for a long time, and regardless of what happens next, Apex made that dream come true and I'll always be grateful for that. I loved it, I lived it, 365 days a year for the last 5+ years. Passion goes a long way. I made it to 10 LANs, including every EA-run ALGS LAN to date, and had the privilege of casting or analysing the finals for every single one of them. Apex is such a killer esport. It has all the ingredients to become an even bigger success than it already is. Never a dull game. A sublime combination of micro & macro. Always someone to cheer for - Apex esports is at its best when it's celebrating that diversity of talent from around the globe. Shoutout to all the awesome players & coaches that have given me time over the years. It was great being able to share some laughs, pick your brains, and share some of that brilliance with the world. A special thanks to all of the Aussie pros, I have followed many esports over the years, and to my mind, Apex is THE most successful Australia has ever been at an esport. Being able to tell those stories and being along for the ride at the same time was incredibly fulfilling 🇦🇺 To the beautiful talent team, what a crew. Every event felt like getting paid to spend a week with friends. You are all my Roman Empire 🥰 I've still got a lot to say, about Apex, about casting & the wider esports industry. I've spent all of my time in these past years trying to be the best caster I can, as well as thinking about broadcast improvements working with Long Shot & EWC. Perhaps now I'll have some time to look into learning some editing/content creation and share my thoughts that way. Hopefully you'll see me pop up somewhere else, but the reality is esports opportunities are few and far between right now. I'd love to put my hefty amount of passion and experience to work somewhere in the industry. I'm open to talent roles (esports award + emmy nominated btw), broadcast/production roles (most innovative Apex broadcasts to date btw) or even to try out some aura-farming (coachless teams plz enquire). Email in bio for any inquiries, or reach out via DM. Happy to have a chat with anyone who thinks I could help 🙂 TL;DR Won't be casting again any time soon. Esports man for sale to highest bidder. Apex still the best esport

This looks like it addresses a lot of the major concerns with ranked. We want intense end-games, a closer experience to ALGS (at least at the top level) and to MAKE MACRO MATTER! 🤞 we keep this system for longer than s13!
New ranks. Legend Bans. Pro-Am League. Ranked is getting a massive tune-up across Seasons 31 and 32. Full Roadmap: bit.ly/4ehz3Up

Actually kinda optimistic about how AI could help the cheating problem 👀 Let's say AI is doing most of the cheat dev + detection in the near future. For large online games, publishers/devs will have access to WAY more compute, surely cheat devs won't be able to keep up?
FPS games have felt so damn boring recently... No matter what you play nowadays, every game feels like it has an INSANE cheater problem. So damn sick of dealing with people who suck at games so badly they resort to rage-hacking.

Is this the book all the Japanese Apex orgs get their logos from? 😂
Why does every page of this book from the 1970s contain so many 2000s tech logos?

Yeah so, we're about to enter the biggest 3 weeks of CS in Australian Counter-Strike history and could be all for naught. The last 2-3 years I've invested easily over a quarter of a mill $ and then this shit happens. If nothing changes I can't do this anymore. GG
Confirmed: @TjPG0D & @hatz_csgo have joined Danish org Sashi, and thanks to @AnleleleCS's dual citizenship, the squad is now Asia VRS eligible. The two Aussies will line up for Sashi this week, with the team joining the likes of BCGame and WW in making a late (and controversial) region switch. Report: dfrag.gg/counterstrike/news/…

The rare aim-assist specific nerf 👀
Hello! We just pushed an update for the following: ✅ FIXED: ALTER - Unreliable tac and ult usage near large moving structures 🛠️ ADJUSTED: AXLE Passive: - Sliding lateral control nerfed by 50% (making it harder to maintain slide momentum while tightly cornering) Tactical: - Sliding lateral control nerfed by 25% for Nitro Gate users - Aim assist is disabled for players under the effect of the Nitro Gate - Nerfed Nitro Gate initial push speed to 650 from 700 Ultimate: - If the Kickstart drone locks on immediately after being deployed, the resulting knock-up is significantly decreased - Nerfed max knock-up magnitude to 650 from 700 - Nerfed max drone chase time to 8s from 10s (meaning it'll give-up on an active chase 2s sooner) WILDCARD: We are continuing to track community feedback regarding Apex KO and are making a few additional tuning changes to address player painpoints. - Reduced Fighter's Defense from 55% damage reduction to 50% Dev Note : We're still seeing that fighters are difficult to take down in a 1v1 Gun vs Fighter combat situation. This change will give players using guns a bit more damage when encountering a charging fighter. We'll continue to keep an eye on fighter combat performance. - Reduced the max number of Ult charges for Ryu, Chun-Li and Dhalsim from 3 to 2 Dev Note : We've been seeing situations where fighters are able to cast multiple Ultimate abilities in a row to completely decimate enemy teams without reasonable time for those teams to respond. Without changing the rate at which Fighters accumulate their Ultimate meter or their damage output, we've reduced the total number of stored ultimate for these fighters by 1. - Enabled passive Fight Gauge regen when not in Fighter Form and below 1 pip of Fight Gauge Dev Note : We've observed potential droughts of Fight Gauge Tokens mid-match as K.O. Trucks are destroyed. To counter this, we're enabling a passive regen on your Fight Gauge. The goal here is to allow players to access Fighter Form more often and be prepared for their next encounter.

Competitive video game mindset is kinda crazy when u think about it no middle schooler is going up to a top 3% basketball player and calling them low elo but no video game rank of a similar percentile is even viewed as human by a significant number of ppl below & above said level
