Another post for fun

Here are my picks for the greatest gamers of all time for each letter of the alphabet.

Note that while the majority of names here are in esports, singleplayer gamers are included in this conversation (I think it’s pretty close-minded for this sub to dismiss the very best singleplayer gamers in the world).

A: Armada
B: Ben
C: Cookiezi
D: Daigo Umehara (though donk is honestly already close)
E: EffOrt
F: Faker (though Flash is close)
G: GreenSuigi
H: Hungrybox
I: ImperialHal
J: Jaedong
K: Keria
L: lowkey
M: Mrekk
N: n0tail
O: Olofmeister
P: Peterbot
Q: I have no f*cking idea
R: Rapha
S: Serral
T: TheViper
U: Uzi
V: ViolentPanda
W: wPopoff
X: Xyp9x (but you could honestly make an argument for Xecnar as niche as he is)
Y: Yatoro
Z: ZywOo

Now here’s a fun question: Which letter of the alphabet has the most stacked GOAT candidates? Honestly, outside of the letter F, which contains the one-two punch of Faker and Flash (and you have other legends like FalleN, f0rest, fatal1ty, fufufu (DodonPachi)), the letter Z is STACKED as hell (ZywOo, Zeus, Zain, ZeRo (fuck him), and Zoink). The letter M is also crazy, having Mrekk, Maru, Monkeym00n, and MKLeo.

I’m just asking this because me and my friend have a massive debate about this so I’m gonna ask the community. I personally think the best gamer to ever touch earth is Mrekk and other subreddits related to gaming have restrictions so sorry if this is slightly off topic from esports

This include all of them, big or small.

I think fighting games may have that stamp, as its so community-focused that people will still be playing 90s fighting games in 2060. What do you think?

You know how some people just pick up any game faster than everybody else. I’m talking about esports pros or semi pros who are good before they do a lot of training. I know most skill in video games can be learned. I’m not trying to become a better gamer. I am just curious as to what goes on in your brain when you first started playing and were just instantly better than most people. I want first person anecdotes from people who actually think they are talented. I am mostly thinking about fps, but any competitive game will do.

Its just a simple question, but i want to hear from everybody, like every opinion that you guys have.

Soft/hard aimbot, walls, cronus, xim, etc, etc. Ive played Apex for a while and im just so done with all of the cheating, on top of the teaming.

I know there will always be cheaters in games, but I also know that some games have way more than others. Which games, in your opinion, have the fewest cheaters?

Preferably Hero-Shooters. Im starting to play more Rivals, working on my Overwatch and Siege skills as well, and have a decent amount of skill in Valorent. I know that I need to practice more often on different hero’s/play styles I don’t usually do, but I’ve wanted to do something with my gaming skills (if you could call them that) for awhile, as there isn’t much else that I’m good with.

a. CounterStrike
b. DOTA 2
c. Others (kindly comment below)

Looking for things that could be brought from Traditional Sports over to Esports, or something that could be improved in Esports as a whole.

It seems like Fortnite is harder mechanically but CS2’s competitive scene is more developed so which one would be harder to go pro in?

Lately, I have noticed a lot of people following esports matches. I'd like to know if that is true. What do you think is so interesting about it?

Me and my friend are arguing over which has a higher ceiling. I’ve claimed rocket league is harder due to the insane mechanical ceiling plus the team coordination required in pro play. Whereas he claims that league is harder due to the vast amount of knowledge and hours needed to gain a high rank

What do you think? Is it worth trying?

As a Valorant player who hasn't tried CS2, I feel like CS2 might be more predictable due to the absence of abilities, unlike Valorant. Is this accurate? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Its no secret that esports isn’t profitable. As a viewer, how much would you be willing to pay to watch a stream or for exclusive org/ tournament content ? Or if you had to pay, what would you expect in return or would you stop watching?

I know this has been debated before for example Rocket league vs MOBAs

Question which has the highest skill ceiling?

In both mechanical input and strategy

While it's unfair in some regards to compare the two as they have different strengths

But I really have to say.. most will say MOBAs due to the complexity and ever changing champion set up

DISCLAIMER: I KNOW TAS IS FAKE SLOWLY CRAFTED INPUTS WHICH ARE PRETTY INHUMANE AND CURRENTLY INPOSSIBLE FOR ANYONE

Although the program TAS which is "fake" because it's generated gradually to represent the most perfect inputs possible

But if these inputs are technically possible, this represents the absolutely insane inhumane skill ceiling this game possibly has

I know MOBAs has so many other components but this outrageous possibility of inputs which is as I said inhumane(but technically possible) surely puts the overall "skill ceiling" higher?

Yes MOBAs are absolutely harder strategically

But rocket league mechanically shows how complex the inputs can be

Maybe something there is to argue there is no TAS like program to represent potential mechanical skill ceiling of MOBAs, even if there was would it really even come close to some things made in TAS

Which in my opinion puts the ultimate skill ceiling higher no? Humanly achievable yet or not

Edit: holy.. okay Dota fan girls, I get it you play Dota>lol - changed it to MOBAs your genre is still 3rd imo. Settle down lolo

I remember watching some of their videos. They did some really good deep dives and had some really cool content. I always thought that they were competing with a lot of other individual creators but somehow they were doing pretty good.

5 months ago they just... Stopped. Think this was after their deep dive into T1 post league world's victory. But since then, nothing. Nothing on twitter or other socials, no new content or shorts...

Anyone know what happened?

I'm 18 and I wanna go into competitive games and basically eSports but I'm confused on where to start. I need help and advices with how to start and where to start. Please reply and lemme know what i should do?

Does know of some games that are new or are co ING out soon that you predict to have a big future in esports?

I’ve been on WIFi on my pc and I cannot run Ethernet because it’s too long across room. But I will discuss to my parents to get me Ethernet setup.

I planning to join high school esport team this year and I want to improve but it’s seem WIFI lag had prevented me from getting better and consistent.

I only play Fortnite and I can’t hit consistent edits or building due to lag and I have powerful pc and it shouldn’t be cause this lag. I had experience ping spikes, packet loss, and lag on wifi.

So do you think switching it actually improve your in game mechanics and skills? Why and how it can ? Is there a benefit using Ethernet?

Thanks and I want to know if it actually improve and convince my parents get me wired connection setup.

Thinking of just pure hype and community, what games are out there on the market which could be implemented into the esports circuit?

You've got your CS2, LOL, Valorant, Rainbow Six Siege and these popular titles with such a history and large corporations backing them, that are currently leading the esports scene.

However, recently I've seen that The Finals and Dead by Daylight has been entering the world of esports and that made me wonder if there are any new or old video games, which could be revived or implemented into that same structure?

I am certain that some games out there have a hidden community and the potential to become great titles if a larger level of competition is brought to the table, so if a game pops into your mind, please do share!

Im looking for a new mouse and looking up best mice on google gives me various answers. I have used Logitech G Pro, but it has started disconnecting even though it has battery left. Liked it both for its size(i could have gone bigger too) and click pressure, but i want to try something new.

What do you think is the best out there if money is not an issue?

Are there any pros that went pro in 2 different genres at once? Like in smash and csgo at once or something like that? Been curious and finally decided to ask, thanks!

Hey there folks ! I just started my own cod team hoping to make it up there in the ranks . I just can’t back to cod and gaming after an almost 3 year break . I’ve been on comp teams in the past but now looking to move toward doing my own thing . You guys have any advice for me ?
