My stance on the "xbox bm" / Fan meet up / Thank you

Hey friends,



Thank you everyone who supported us from the switch from PC to Xbox. You guys are awesome and honestly, its great to win something. I appreciate everyone that has been supporting me for the past 3 years of SMITE. Without yall none of this would be possible. This post will fill you in on this weekend.



Omega BM when we won -

So basically we won the tournament and honestly i will admit it was a lot easier than we expected. It took us a bit to get down mechanics and also to adjust to the "xbox meta". We practiced hardcore for 6-8 hours a day not including streaming xbox smite for about a month or so.



I can honestly say we practiced more in that month than most of the teams we fought practiced in 6 months. Not saying that to take away from any of the teams but i can honestly say we came way more prepared than anyone else and it really showed. We knew everything from what they would pick to counter-matchups and we knew everyones comfort picks.



It was really underwhelming when we won because for all the shit that the xbox teams were talking they really didn't put up much of a fight and it just really showed the lack of experience each team had competitively. A lot of the good matches were just in open bracket alone which weren't streamed sadly. In fact i didn't get the shit talk to begin with considering we were on the 1st seeded PC SMITE team for all of 2015. Like realistically the only thing separating us from competing at the top of Xbox was the fact that we didn't know how to use a controller. To think that xbox players were so "high and mighty" that we wouldn't be able to even "make it out of open bracket" was just foolish to begin with.



I wasn't going to say anything honestly. Its weak3n/omegas personality to shit talk or "bm" or whatever. Honestly i didn't care, i was happy that i won. I put in time in the xbox scene and i learned a new role at a really high competitive level. I learned a lot from the xbox team and i realized how much i actually contribute from a different role with a different perspective on the game. I had a blast playing xbox and hanging out with most of the xbox pros. They were all really cool especially Egr, Cog, orbit and elevate. Considering we are leaving the scene now i hope that they really put in the work to push the limits of the competitive xbox scene because believe me theres so much potential for the scene to grow.



For the people discouraged about xbox smite or the scene or thinking the tournament was a joke.



1. grow up. its a tournament



2. The tournament wasn't run by hirez, it was run by UMG they did a decent job honestly but yeah honestly this kind of a tournament would never happen again if run by hirez



3. Get better xbox teams. We showed theres much more depth in xbox smite than what players commonly believe. (weak3n played serqet for example)



4.Who cares when literally all the top xbox teams are PC players to begin with?



every xbox pro team is made of at least 1 PC player. Enough with the "failed pc player" garbage as well. Its impossible to make it in the SPL because of hirez's new challenger rules to begin with. You couldn't even qualify into worlds through challenger (like Titan did last year at worlds).



Unless you wait a whole year as a challenger player its literally impossible to get into the SPL team or even know if you are good enough. A lot of these players had to wait anyway to try again for PC season 3 smite. Why should any of you (looking at you casual smite reddit) disrespect any of the xbox players? NONE of you could even do what we did nor in a short amount of time. Look at XGN (SPL team Denial). They got beat by Orbit in the open bracket and lost the qualifying tournament to Xbox egr team. Trust me we earned this win.



Fans / Subs / Meeting up etc. -



So i got to hang out with fans, subs etc this weekend and it was really fun. I didn't realize that many people even knew who i was. Sadly i was playing on xbox and they had us play open bracket in the back room where NO one was allowed. So i'm really sorry if you wanted to meet me you couldn't. Next year i will organize most likely some sort of meetup to actually meet / hang out with everyone. i was extremely busy but i still got to hang out with a lot of people that have been supporting me for a long time. I hope i made yall proud and for everyone i met it was awesome meeting you.



Thanks everyone once again for everything and i hope this clears up some stuff about the weekend. I hope you guys continue to support Envy for season 3. Or at least don't think the worst of us :p. Love you guys peace.
