not sure if its just me but i find it strange to see alot of if not all HCS players opting for the controller. i guess there is some advantage to using it over mouse and keyboard movement wise?? as ive not been seeing a reason to why aim would be better on either one. imo if you can aim you can aim regardless of equipment
main crypt

As apposed to using an entire hand to aim controller only uses thumbs so it's much much less accurate. So they have auto-aim but as it stands that auto-aim overcompensates

We have determined that the only plausible explanation for Royal 2’s telemetry data pattern referred to above is that there was a direct modification of files giving Royal 2 an unfair competitive advantage during play. This violates the Official Rules, specifically Section VII.C(2) Hacking and Section VII.C(4) Network Abuse.

Interesting mechanics similar to spring jump in h5 in terms of function it allows you to get extra height without any equipment or anything this game might have more tech than h5 tbh kinda wild
Reload canceling as well is back but instead if sprinting you use slide to reload cancel and ofc you have your standard yy but if you don't have a secondary you can't do that so this might be the best option.

Not really. Royal2 is suspended until Jan 28th for confirmed geofiltering
After extensive work behind the scenes, officials ruled that “the only explanation for Royal2’s telemetry data pattern referred to above is that there was a direct modification of files,” which violates the official rules. As a result, the 25-year-old will be banned from HCS Competition until Jan. 28, 2022. Sentinels’ placement for the NA Open Series and NA Kickoff Qualifier have also been nullified, with the removal of 3,660 HCS 4v4 Points for all members of the Sentinels team.
3,660 HCS points deducted directly because of that.

I can’t stand deserters so I hope it’s not deliberate I like both of these teams a lot

They play ranked on servers that show preference to their location, on customs they have to break between all of them so they could be getting servers they never would normally play on

tall topaz
They’re all NA tho right? At least in ranked they might get accidentally shoved into a EU server
fickle plaza
Yeah I think they are all NA
tall topaz
So server issues shouldn’t be major like this
narrow bough
Still, data takes longer to travel to a far away server
Trying to give them the benefit of the doubt here lol

Game 3
tall topaz
No point in going into the last 12 kills haha

Yeah, I could be wrong but Bound has been the one dropping most often, he could just have a storm in his location or something

Now optic need to show their organisation in these obj games
Otherwise faze will wipe the floor with them
mossy palm
Optic never lost on live fire, but they never seem to win it easy either
tall topaz
Good start for optic

Can’t let penguin have 13 seconds with the flag though 😂
OpTic takes this one
mossy palm
live fire slayer absolutely, if they lose this its series over
narrow bough
Agreed
mossy palm
Its live fire strong holds as well for game four, probably optics best chance at winning objective
renegade!
Actually insane how they nuetralized camo
narrow bough
This might actually be their first loss
mossy palm

Oh that was just mean haha

Super impressive run from OpTic
mossy palm
Yea made for some good games, optic and faze both
But man, c9 are just too good for now
narrow bough
Yea made for some good games, optic and faze both
It’s great for a guy like me that has 0 team loyalty 😂
Love seeing Cloud9 sweep the brackets but I’d love to see them dethroned more
mossy palm
Yea, its great for neutrals 🙂 I like both optic and faze tbh, similar to you i dont want c9 to be too dominant
Anyway, gonna go to bed! see you all for next series 🙂
narrow bough
See you next time buddy goodnight

Damn that one moment where Ola rushed B with rockets
If he had gotten that kill and not died, maybe optic could've taken it... Regardless, love to see this insane level of Halo from the top teams

why was sentinels not playing?

I think one of their players had another commitment and if they subbed them out there was going to be a roster problem for the next event. Not 100% sure about that.
modest kernel
why was sentinels not playing?
frosty was out of town and if they subbed for him royal 2 wouldn’t be able to play at Anaheim
modest kernel
It uses a roster change spot for a sub and they only get 2 so if they subbed someone for frosty they wouldnt be able to bring back royal2 for this season

They really blew that imo. Had a good lead on them multiple times

Another series, another win for C9
EU panics at the end and C9 always feeds on that. Somehow they’re always best when it’s all on the line I don’t even understand it

Essentially this.
Optic wasn't part of HCS officially, Envy was.
The roster signed to Envy, and Envy got skins made, and then Optic bought Envy, so they play under the 'Optic' banner now.
Optic will get skins, probably in season 2.

Yes, but tbh I don't think Halo esports will grow in the apac region if the competitive advantage remains with console/controller players. There aren't many consoles in apac
