A few words on todays SPL games vs LNDC

First of all, really proud of the boys today and I'm glad we managed to pull out the wins.



So the tournament works like this, we get assigned to a server. Create a custom game lobby and start the game.



Myself,Qvofred and Trixtank had 100 ping on this server so we then tried remaking and was assigned to a different server.

We had the exact same ping on that one. So obviously we just have to accept the fact that we are going to play on 100 ping, as we only get 1 remake per game and I think that was the only 2 servers prepared for tourney play.



This is likely a routing issue where our ISP gets rerouted somewhere along their way to

Hirez' EU servers and results in high ping. At least from my understanding.



Now LC had no one with high ping, which isn't weird at all because its likely a routing issue, so obviously we are facing an immediate disadvantage.



Anyway we play game 1, and we get a good lead. Now we're at a staredown at FG, and we try to bait them in. They are not taking the bait and we start slapping FG. Then the second Qvofred disconnects they jump/engage us.



Now, we are all healthy and far ahead of them. We wanted them to engage us in the first place. That is why we have only 2 people placed directly near it.

The fact that they had no chance in winning that fight with all 5 off us connected is literally the only reason I called them out on it.



Anyway, most of you are with me anyway but I wanted to clear something up. We have no referees in game, there's no one there to blow the whistle when someone disconnects. We have to wait until all players are out of combat and then pause.



I made an extreme analogy earlier and ill make it again because its not entirely wrong. Imagine if there is no referees and a player passes out/dies in the middle of a soccer/football or any other relative team game. Are you just gonna grab your chance for the prize and snap the ball up and go for the goal? Is that considered just being good at taking advantages where you can or is that considered something else entirely. I mean I know my own opinion and I'm sure you all know my opinion as well.



Yes I'm an honest man, and brutally so. Can I be wrong?, absolutely. Am i wrong?, that's up to you for decide. Everyone is entitled to their opinion I'm only here to share my point of view.



Lastly don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the opportunity to be in the SPL and fight for the big bucks, but if I'm standing at a disadvantage before the games even begin because of routing issues I'm damn well going to speak up about it and try to make for an even playing ground in the next games.



Thanks for reading and more so thank you for supporting me and the rest of the paradigm squad. EVEN if I come across as a salty crab from time to time, make no mistake I'm only trying to get my boys to worlds.



Baba yetu was chiming as the janus ulti stole that fire giant in game one. And thus I end my essay.



<33 much love xoxo gossip lawb
