Ok so right now we have so much going on in the game it can be hectic to figure things out. But I'm going to propose some things to smooth out the logistical challenges we face as a community. First off as the popularity of a clan rises people tend to flock to join them. Thinking I will be able to compete! I'm really good? Right now as things are going with wicked gaming turnamants only one comp team from each clan is allowed into tournament season. Often this is the clans pushing for only there top players to be in the comp team. Only those on the roster of the comp team can compete. Ok good and well people can start there own clan and make a comp team. Not as easy as you would think. Most of the talent want to go to the top teams thinking they will be next on the roster if the comp teams roster is upset. Well sorry to say it's a big mess. People want an easy path to fame and working on your own is not easy. Along comes crews, at first i was against yet another additional button on my HUD. But here is where I was wrong. This is the next step in the organization. Clans have members that can then form into crews. Those crews can then sign up for turnamants and compete. I'm not sure if this is what LH Douyu & GT Douyu where but the similar names make me think so. This is very similar to the Gen.G Gold & Gen.G Black that competed in the global invitational. We saw something similar in the playoffs with LØ having two teams one with the clan name and one as TG those guys, and Rollexx was on TeamGates. We could have had LØ.thoseguys and regular LØ. Why not. LØ.Black, C9.blood any number of teams can hold there clan tag and play as a crew. We had two of the blacklist teams and even thought they didn't to the best the casters could tell them apart. With a bracket playoff system any number of teams, from every organization could submit crews and challenge the top competition. This would then foster talent, making the clans and crews a valuable resource. You need more exposure to regular players to build there experience. Joining LØ would not just mean your part of an organization but would me if you got on a crew you would compete under the clan tag. Recognized clans would then have the power to upload there logo for there crew, making things easier to recognize them and the clans success. I hope to see several crews form clans competing in turnamants. That way talent can be seen not just stuffed into the roster of a clan and kept from competing. This is my take on it pubg mobile can facilitate some things we could have some interesting results. Let me know what you think and we will see what happens.

Not by far! I dont think we will see the Powerbang himself step up to the pro scene. They had a few of the LØ roster on the squad leader boards. This will be good for the pro scene as teams settle there rosters this will move the talent around and it will let yunger players find there spot in the roster. MCL fell out of the top pro scene when there roster changed. They moved up from B to class A and where looking good but another roster change and once again the team struggled. I have yet to see a match where they looked strong since but we shall see. So when #Rolexx star challenge crew signed on with #cloud9 I was surprised but I cant blame him as well. Having a good crew is important and being able to work well as an igl you need people that trust you... It remains to be seen they have a ton of talent and I'm rooting for the cloud9 to be a strong force in the NA. They are the north American esport team. Now back to lightsout they have plenty of players in there clan I'm sure it might take a few games or a season to work out the team and get a good IGL. For me I have faith that Lightsout will be around, it will remain to be seen if they are as strong as before.

That's All.

So what can we take away from this. First all we know getting the superior angle on your opponent is a advantage. Second the use of utility can be better then trying to out aim a opponent dug in. Third in tpp use that view if they are firing dont peak into fire. Last of all dont ever underestimate your opponent. Let's get out there and make those plays. I have begun to look at maps different after this play from Baraka. It was not that I didn't do it before but now I was looking for the advantage. I hope this can open up our minds and we can become stronger as NA players. I hope too that Cloud9 gets back to form they are a great team, this tournament was ruff for them let's see them bounce back. I will be looking into as many games as possible and see what happened to the NA teams. Maybe I will try and get an interview from some of the players as well get there insite, see what was going through there minds. Open to discussion and other points I might have overlooked. In the words of HotJukes LetsGo!!!

Watched the counter strike finals in Chicago.... not knowing much about it but I have been trying catch up on how things work. Its success with building a player base and a fan base has been successful. Besides the players that play the game. Keeping a game alive you must build a player base that will grow beyaond those that play it. Not everyone plays soccer or football. However they do have college teams and no surprise how this helps them keep a significant fan base. Csgo has made counter strike's multiplayer game a success.. I started watching pubg and the PC tournaments. Most matches I found after the fact and post stream. One thing I have noticed is that there is not really a season to follow no relegation to set the tone for a season. The build up to big tournaments is not well published... now I'm not in the know so maybe i am wrong. I find that csgo is much easier to follow. What pubg needs is a structured season that can be followed. With this I feel some kind of arcade style face off would be fun. The head to head battles from teams.... seeing team liquid vs faze dropping in a section of a map in a high loot populated area like pochinki.... or military. Now it's just a few thoughts but I feel that in some ways we need to have the fan base built.

So I seen people throw there ideas at this. Most stand by, claw is the only way, pros do it. In steps #Rollexx..... He is arguably one of the best thumb players out there and he only uses thumbs. As far as I know and I can understand from his hud. Let's break down how and where this whole claw thing came about. Wait this is only my opinion and a breakdown of how I feel the progression has happened. I remember the old console games on N64 the controller used only thumbs and In mostly a 2d world it was adequate. When 3d games where first coming out I was not on a console I was behind my gaming PC playing couterstrike on the schools lan. I played the solo games like wolfenstein, half"life even played out the quake games.... they where awesome. But all those where on PC and I used all my fingers to control the game. Halo was my first xbox game and I was hooked on the story. Being a scifi buff I loved it. Yeah I was limited by a controller but I soon I learned what later I would understand is claw. Disclaimer the controller was made to fit in the hand and not cause fatigue!!!! Using the index fingers to fire and aim was helpful and made the gameplay seamlessly interactive. You half to train your brains memory and muscles to act together to become efficient. When games came out on phones and tablets and they made the heads up display and able to customize the mobile game world was birthed. Games like critical ops soon gained popularity off the back of csgo and other first person shooters. The fast pace and action soon evolved a gameplay control style we now know as claw. Where you use your index or several of your fingers to control actions. I have played critical ops and after jumping back from pubg it felt stiff and wonky..... one of the main reasons is no gyro control witch is wat I use.(Reference; https://www.boston-technology.com/mobile-games-gyroscope-accelerometer/ ) If your not familiar with the basics of gyro then read this article I placed above for better understanding. I know there are plenty of people that have swapped over from the CO side to pubg. That's something I dont care to address here but I can say that if you are going to get good at CO then learn claw. It is the way it runs now and what the high skill players have adopted. Claw gives you several advantages and if you nor sure look them up this is not a pro article for claw. With pubg mobile the gyro is a advantage that makes the gameplay smooth and frees your thumbs to make those plays. Now claw players are always able to be more mobile and playing with gyro will make your aim easier. At the end of the day it boils down to what you learn and how you play the map. Claw players have a slight advantage up close, you can always use tactics to mitigate the style and class of player. In summary claw will make you a better then average player and if you get good you will can become a real threat on the battlefield if your just wanting to have fun thumbs are fine. If you want an extra advantage then turn on gyro and crank that red dot sense up to like 250..... some day I'll post a pic of all my HUD and senses. Being comfortable with your controls is the biggest advantage and learning those reactions is key.

With the newest patch fixing some of the significant desync problems in the game I think there is hope for the mobile version as well. I know that there will always be peekers advantage. Witch it should be in some ways. That feeling you get when you get gunned down even when your behind cover is the worst. IN ANY GAME.... But with this move I think that it will help with the quality of game experience. I think to make things interesting and this is just my idea. They could venture into a four seasonS for Erengale that would be a fresh take on the original map. Think a thick blanket of snow across the map and slippery roads. snow machines instead of motorcycles, we can have chains on some of the cars. Drifts of snow up to the second floor of a house. Make some places where the cars will get stuck. For me I like the erea that pubg is in. Keep it retro build on the maps and make it interesting. I am glad to see some life out of the team at pubg I hope they have them a bonus who ever figured that out. I know that such a complex game it can take time to fix things and really get things rolled out. If the mobile version has taught us anything it is that the rolling out of updates fast does not make sense or good gameplay. There has been so many problems with the mobile game and it makes sense. They are always working on the next update or skins the fixes are just not coming till the next update. Then when that drops it has all it's own bugs... Our best hope is that as they start to stabilize we will see a stable game with seasonal insintives and changes that add quality of life. If anything we have to many in game stats leader boards and stuff in the main game HUD. I would like to see a simpler game and have some of the achievements and royal pass things be in a link. I even like what @sprEEEzy said about making FPP into the competitive settings only. Like then arcade mode that's is out on the Chinese vrs. I would be willing to give up auto pickup and all the rest. The shot signals and footsteps on the map for fpp. Maybe I'm crazy but I like the challenge. Tpp is great for messing around but I find people play a much slower game and camp a lot more. But now I'm rambling and my main point I must come back to slow down pubg yeah you might lose some impatience players but make the game better take some time and make this game competitive make the game smooth. Then let's bring in the new content. Four weeks a beta can you really fix all the problems in that time?

How would you like to have a four on four option with a small arcade section for relegations have a first to seven or something.... Pochinki, Yasnaya, north and south gorge, military complex. I feel like this would give a competitive aspect to helping teams practice as well as teams going head to head for scrims. Could make a leader board and have the results posted. Give LO and Gank, WC a chance to have bragging rights to who has taken the most wins. I only named the big city areas cause of loot density and the fact that it would be interesting to see. Right this would help the lower level teams practice against better players in a four on four. This I feel would help the teams get to another level. Right now with the maps we dont know what will happen if there will be high tier players of if we have 50 bots.... let me know what you think and if you would use this as a custom room.
