August 23 — League Play Day 2

Recap

• LastShot started his stream today by recapping the drama from yesterday in theater mode and said "it's the funniest shit ever, I actually started crying laughing. Listen guys, it's really sickening, man."
• He said his team had the hill "two seconds away [from being capped], you cannot physically make it to the fucking hill. I'm not trolling, there's two seconds. [Renegade] would've had to hit two g-slides to even get feet in the hill, and there's two of us there. So it's going to be a 2v1 in the hill."
• Someone asked on a scale of 1-10 how much he was pissed off about FaZe not granting the full reset, and LastShot said "probably an 8.5." He continued "It's just not being respectful in my eyes. It's trying to finesse the system, trying to finesse how things are going."
• He claims if the roles were reversed FaZe would've asked for a full reset in that situation too, and that Shopify would've actually granted it to them. He says sarcastically "Like if you really need that one hill to win, then you're a beast bro."
• LastShot did give FaZe props for starting the Grand Finals series with a 2-0 map count lead and says "they were just playing really good."

It's easily the most fun mode in the game. Managed to hit Onyx in it for the first time last time it was in the rotation.

Recap

• In the Grand Finals between FaZe and Shopify, Royal2's game crashed in map 3 just before Shopify were about to capture a hill, which would have tied the game up 1-1.
• Frosty requested a full reset, but Renegade (in game chat) and Stellur (the party leader) refused and kept it as 1-0 advantage for FaZe. Technically this is within the rules, but arguably poor sportsmanship.
• This made Shopify play with a chip on their shoulder and they won the next three maps to reverse sweep FaZe. LastShot said "every time you try to cheese us, it just makes us even more fucking locked."
• LastShot got the final kill on Renegade to close out the series and then popped off by giving him the middle finger directly to the camera and talking trash.

We're getting some juicy storylines for the Pro League!

Shopify have defeated FaZe 3-2 in the Grand Finals of Global Grassroots Cup #1.

FaZe started off the series with momentum going up 2-0 and capping the first hill in map 3. Royal 2's game crashed shortly before Shopify were about to capture the second hill, and Renegade refused a full reset. Then the angry Shopify came out and reverse swept FaZe to win the series 3-2.

In the highly anticipated first-ever matchup between these two teams, FaZe defeated Four of a Kind 3-2 in the Elimination Finals.

FaZe looked much improved from just yesterday (where they lost to Mercenaries 0-3). Today they swept Barcode's team, Insight, Incognito, Mercenaries, and won 3-2 over the consistent #2 team. FaZe are playing more disciplined, using teamwork, consistently getting power weapons and camos.

Four of a Kind is eliminated at top 3 while FaZe moves on to face Shopify Rebellion in the Grand Finals.

I get microstutter when playing halo infinite with my mouse.

I have a 9070 XT with a 9850 X3d.

I previously had a 5600x and thought that was the culprit.

-----------------

The best solution I have found is to turn 'Wait for Vertical Refresh' to always ON, which is driver level vsync that seems to help with the frame pacing.

Also modifiying the config file and putting min/max framerate to match my monitor

I already have REBAR ON. I have messed with HAGS ON/OFF, C-STATE on/off.

Any tips on better solutions?

--------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT:

I am trying MPOGPUFIX (https://github.com/RedDot-3ND7355/MPO-GPU-FIX) and will report back about whethere it fixes the issues.

Jon "Skeptical" Dadi, the former world champion coach of the Splyce roster (Renegade, Stellur, Shotzzy, Eco) has called FaZe's gameplay a "pathetic display" and went after their coach Elamite.

Skeptical claims Elamite isn't providing real leadership to the FaZe roster and only has the coaching job because the organization wanted it and not the players. Skeptical says the FaZe roster needs someone to "discipline" them and whip them into shape. He says "only one person can pull this team out of the gutter."

Skeptical says he'd be willing to come back as coach if asked but expects "a serious buy in to my system, no fucking around."

sR v Precipice, Global Grassroots Cup 1

Bro decided to break the fourth wall, had me dying irl 💀

(Screenshots because I didn’t think to clip it in time, but Cykul was afk for the first few minutes of round 1. Lastshit Lastshot was periodically calling his name with no response until this gem was dropped in chat.)

(They still won)

Although Pro League is off this weekend, there's still a Halo tournament happening and six of the eight Pro League qualified teams will be competing in it. And because it's tournament format, there's a good chance we might get to see the FaZe vs Four of a Kind matchup for the very first time this weekend.

1. Shopify Rebellion - Cykul, Frosty, LastShot, Royal 2
2. Four of a Kind - Snakebite, Trippy, Precision, Taulek
3. FaZe - Stellur, Legend, Bound, Renegade
4. Cloud9 - Cearion, Lethul (substitute), Bubu Dubu, King Nick
5. Mercenaries - Druk, Sab, Soul Snipe, Suppressed
6. Incognito - Eco, Descendant, Acid, Yakzn

Lucid's team isn't playing because Pznguin is out of town, and Ascending Baseline is seemingly not playing as well, other than that all of the Pro League teams are competing. Other notable teams competing this weekend include:

• Lag Comp - Piggy, Envore, SLG, Mightys
• Insight - Noblc, Leuor, Rorzch, Strikeyy
• Legion Gaming - Euzey, Xuzey, Morgan, Lydoe
• Reversal Perfy - Common, Little Gatorz, IceKid, Glitchy
• Barcode, Wryce, Scoobmeister, Swayz

Full list of teams here.

This is the first of three Grassroots Global Cups, teams earn HCS points towards Halo Fest for these. Points will be used towards seeding the HCS Invitational and first priority to purchase a team pass for the Infinite Open 4v4 at Halo Fest.

The two day tournament starts Saturday 12 EDT and will be broadcasted on both LVT Halo Twitch and European Halo Twitch.

Lucid got a nice overkill in his new team's first ever scrim against Shopify and LastShot correctly predicted the clip would hit Reddit.

Shopify won this scrim with an 8-3 map count. It had to be ended a few maps early because Penguin had to leave for his travels. For comparison, Four of a Kind's very first scrim against SR was 1-10 and FaZe's very first (and only) scrim against SR was 2-13, so this is a promising result for Inconceivable.

Anyone selling halo fest tickets? Team didn’t buy them when they were supposed to and now I’m here scouring the interwebs and social media for some to make sure the boys make it. TYIA

Hey everyone! This is a video archive of 100K videos from the Bungie era. It has a lot of the montage and tournament gameplay that you may remember from back in the day. It includes the Ultimate FragVid Collection

Mythicca.org - From the vaults of Mythica: Halo's lost legends, re-uploaded.

Feel free to use it and play around with it. I followed the process from their last tournament the best I could, but it is definitely possible there are flaws in the pick/ban logic. If anyone notices anything like that, please point it out so I can adjust!

Side note, this was just a for fun project that anyone can use. I've let the LVT guys know this is a thing - and while it would obviously be awesome if they chose to use it, I don't currently have any expectations on where that will land.

Plenty of room for adding features. Shorter series seems like an obvious one.

Bittersweet and Fragoute were credited with the original concept, so I'll credit them here again!

Recap

• Lucid discusses changing his play style a bit which some have already noticed. He says “the team that we have together right now is much more willing to do some of the stuff that I’ve been wanting to do for literally the past couple of years in terms of play style."
• He says "I like the pace that we play at a lot, it’s very needed. I think for me right now, this is the play style I wanted and that we've got going, but it has needed to be a thing for a while.“
• One of the bigger differences he says is being a bit more active, being first in. Across all players in the first two weeks of Pro League, Lucid currently ranks #1 overall in assists so it's working out so far and his damage is being cleaned up by the team.
• Their team is scrimming Shopify for the very first time on Wednesday (tomorrow). That's going to be their only scrim in the entire next week because Pznguin will be out of town until Monday. And this also means their team (Inconceivable) are probably not playing in the Grassroots Global cup this weekend unless they play with a substitute.
• Lucid says his teammate Falcated's triple kill was "fucking insane, fucking ridiculous" and that the team all went back to watch it in theater to find out what he did.
• Kuhlect says he enjoys teaming with Lucid and reveals they were going to possibly team together at the very start of this season. Kuhlect received an offer to be on a team with Lucid, Trippy and Descendant but Kuhlect was playing CoD Challengers at the time (and Lucid also stepped away from competing before the season kicked off).

Hey everyone! I missed the general Halo Fest ticket release earlier this year and am looking to buy a ticket from someone who is no longer able to attend. If you have a ticket you’re looking to sell, please feel free to DM me. I’d really appreciate it!

Just hoping to see if anyone is selling 2 Halofest Concert Tickets. Chances are probably low but me and my partner are huge fans of the story. Thanks everyone <3

Does anyone still play Halo 3 Hardcore in MCC? Looking to build a community to run 4s. Gt: jeffrossfupa98.
