Some things I will say
-- Altare
Clearly was the weakest player. They had him on snipe which is probably the best position for him, but they were babysitting him the whole time. He was at his worst when he didn't immediately listen to the other two.
-- Axel
Made some bad calls, didn't seem to understand when or where to Valk-ult. I discussed my thoughts on that here:
>>47382043 >>47382263

She has a known weakness, once she gets disappointed or disheartened she crumbles fast. It's almost impossible to reassure her too. You need to do something to keep her spirits up, bring some levity or, even better, win a game.

Before official scrim week started, customs were opened for teams that could come in to practice.
Because not everyone was available, rando viewers had to be brought in to fill the lobby.

The team:
>Washed up pred (according to Selen and her former teammates) who's more like plat or diamond level and is somehow assigned more points than other more skilled players
>A guy who knows almost nothing about Apex and has to learn all the basic shit in a month while still doing other activities as a vtuber, but he's good at other FPS, so according to some anons, that makes him instantly good at Apex
>Axel, the zone guru, who is at plat level and over extends and has pretty much no tournament experience (afaik) does all the shot calling

The circumstances:
1.They're playing on a JP server, so all of them have like 200 ping
2.It's extremely early for Altare (4-5AM) and probably for Selen as well, so it's not exactly top performance hours

The gameplay:
1st match - max KP, decent placement
2-4 matches few bad Axel's calls and lack of communication leads them to losing those games and causes bad morale
5 match their coach (noc) tells them to have fun since it was impossible to win the first place at that point, so they ditch their usual tactic/strategy and go full ape mode which leads to them being one of the first teams to die

The result:
They lose. Who would have thought that playing against players who not only spam Apex all the time, but also have 2-3 members experienced in tournaments (and VSaikyou specifically) would cause that? I had fun watching all of their practice matches, but anyone with a functioning brain cell could have told you they were not going to win the tournament. Also, blaming just one or two of them is retarded. Axel made at least 2 bad valk ult calls which resulted in them dying in the next ~20s, and then him getting tilted. Altare fucked up at one point with scouting, and Selen made at least 2 big misplays that I saw. They simply didn't have a player who could carry the rest of the team and their individual mistakes contributed to them being down on the list of teams. I guess it's a good day to be a Homostar or Selen hater, huh?

Yup. Average player skill and attitude has a huge impact on the pro scene. Look at League in NA, then look at League in China or Korea. The average player has a huge impact on the pro scene. Regions develop cultures in their esports. Like NA league is full of a bunch of solo q retards who don’t take the game nearly as seriously at the highest level compared to CN or KR, and it shows in the pro scene. Of course that’s not to discount that there are much less players in NA, as well as NA preferring imports to their pro teams instead of looking for more homegrown talent.

It used to be separated. The best part is that crossplay is optional for console but not PC, so you are forced to play against aimbots (also PC controllers exist but it's less aim assist, still broken).
The reason is they need low IQ children and console players to "have fun" so they can buy skins, and giving them an artificial boost makes them feel good.

What you are seeing is probably recoil smoothing, which is yet another mechanic they added in to make it easier to aim on controller at moving targets (do you see a pattern)? Although, it is helpful on mnk also.
Basically, if your reticle shifts by enough of an angle within a certain time, it will greatly reduce/almost eliminate the associated recoil and it'll move in a smoother line.
Since the rotational aim assist is literally pulling their reticle in the right direction (60%) for free... (people will say to "aim with left stick" on controller, which literally means move your character and let the aim assist+recoil smoothing take over instead of trying to actually aim)
On top of this lots of controller players use strikepacks which are basically undetectable by anticheat

Selen and Axel were so easy to tilt themselves, which led to shit games. Happened in scrims, and to the surprise of noone, it happened in the actual tourney.
They had a great 1st game, went into the 2nd game and got shit on and never recovered from the tilt. The only reason why they did as well as they did was because of the 3 point scam that was Altare.

Just accept it, the team couldn't function as soon as Selen got into the team with 10 pt (blame her telling the world she was a Pred). Blue guy coming in just worsened the situation.

In essence, yes
Giving selen even a 6-7 point rating (what she genuinely deserves since she is 3+ seasons rusty as predator) would give her space to be picked up by Diamond-Master players who would take her ping as a debuff for the sake of her insane plays
3 whole players with ping issues and no genuine leadership to speak of was why Kuzuha, Kanae, Chihiro, and Hal all saw Selen's talents more as a showcase rather than threat

Don't listen to that other anon, she's not that good.
I've solo'd to diamond on the new, harder ranked system and I'm just a bit worse than her, so she's maybe a diamond 3 or 2. She can think for herself and can even make smaller, more personal decisions autonomously like where to go in a fight, what angles to get, etc. so she's not bad at all but she's also not great. She's pretty much a perfect filler player in that she won't fuck over your team (if she shuts up and doesn't fight/get mind broken over dying once) so she's good if she has a good leader but otherwise doesn't bring anything special. The reason Hal allowed it, as was said by Axel himself, is that she USED to be a pred at a time when being a pred was both easier, and when she herself was in a good team while playing a support role (hence why people call her "boosted"). Even she's said she's gotten WORSE since then, so she's not really a pred anymore. Astel could beat her ass and he's a master.
Hal was hesitant to allow her but decided the ping + the fact she's gotten worse + the fact he literally only invited Axel because he was having difficulty finding anyone to join and just said fuck it.

Not with that attitude.
Noct said Selen either kills the whole lobby or cries like a bitch. It is nowhere in between. She needs to stop running away from her problem with her nonsensible coping.
This time, she should confront Axel for his retard Valk calls instead of acting passive-aggressive.
She needs to accept that she wants to win rather than acting defensive like 10th place is fine or throwing the game for fun because I'm not that serious. Everyone knows that she practiced like 10+ hours every day. She is not going to fool anyone.

8-10 point members are master players who Hal personally ranks, he gave Selen 10pt because she was a former pred from a time it was more difficult to achieve or some shit. Gorilla is the only current pred in Vsaikyou and he's 11pt.

>> No.47449155

>>47448801
And that's exactly it. She's not absolutely amazing at any of those, but she can do them well and well enough for it to be recognizable. More important than that though, is that she gets tilted too easily and that makes her perform worse and worse at those exact things. Once she does get tilted, all those skills get nerfed more and more, and that leads to a vicious cycle or her just getting worse and worse throughout the game. I'm not trying to claim she's bad since it's obvious she isn't, just being in diamond makes you roughly the top 10% of the apex playerbase, but when you're in a lobby with actual apex predators like Gorilla or full teams with real cohesion and communication between them there's only so much someone of her skill makeup is going to be able to do when she's constantly debuffing herself like that.

That kind of thing is hard to find in people who perform at their level, even more so in vtubers since they're all a bunch of head cases.

I'm just genuinely curious because I'm a casual Selen viewer and seeing this as a pattern after how badly Selen shit the bed with iPN where they ended up getting last place in whatever tourny that was. And seeing how she's willing to trash talk good players like noct and RPR, that makes me wonder if she'll be able to compartmentalize that to play under them for a team, or would it require her to play with someone she doesn't know who immediately puts forward a no nonsense attitude so Selen just focuses on playing and not fooling around.

According to what other dragoons were saying, she might quit FPS in general after this. I don't think it's a problem that will be fixed soon if ever. She's basically guaranteed to be bad unless she's got someone in the team who's clearly better than her since she won't listen to them otherwise and if she does question them they need to be able to stop her from fucking things up with her second guessing, AND they need to be able to dig her out of her death spiral with some actually effective pep talk if she goes into it.
She basically is a very high maintenance player who can be replaced by other far less menhera players at the drop of a hat. She's not going to be picked by someone better than her unless they're desperate if they know that.
