seeing kingsman teach the streamers that are coming in new to the game wouldve been fun to watch and seeing how/if he can coach a team of newbies, how those newbies and maybe some more casual players can play against a team thats also people of the same skill as them with a top player showing them their tips and tricks and how those teams all play against each other. That would do wonders to show off the game and how new people can start to play. The way the tournament actually played out tho, that was not only kinda boring (you literally just watch kingsmans team smack a bunch of newbies into oblivion) but it didnt give any actual exposure of how fun rivals can be for a newcomer. At best youll get new players who have seriously high expectations that theyll hop on, pick magik, and have a game like kingsman, which is really unrealistic, or they might end up entirely disheartened ab playing at all bc it looks like theyll just be railed. I dont think any of the non rivals streamers even got to experience what the game is actually like, they just got stomped by top players. Im happy for the winners and its not their fault the team making was garbage, but I feel bad for the non rivals players who basically got no chance to actually play the game or show their audience anything to be interested in. If theres another tournament like this, the teams either need some serious attention paid to who is on each team to make things even a little fair, or it should be more along the lines of non rivals vs non rivals (which, yes, wont have to sick kingsman combos, but wont be such a steamroll that audiences new to the game wont have anything to be invested in). Cinna really dropped the ball with this tournament and I really hope this kind of thing doesnt happen again.

sorry my b, her sources were snark reddits and a google doc from a random person with no evidence whatsoever. try as she might to pass blame off onto the random who sent her thr doc, but she still chose to treat it as gospel, make a 2 hour vid ab it, and verify nothing. mf scum.

pls dont take this as me being rude bc while I will admit I was annoyed (more so stressed) ab some teammates I got, the point is that going into comp blind w no idea of the current state of comp will lead to a bad time doing drives! playing comp beforehand will help to have a better understanding of what to do and how the current season is, and if youre playing stadium comp pls try to make/update any builds (and have some ideas of what to swap in those builds depending on the game) so you arent left without any idea of what to do. I do understand not wanting to play comp but wanting and the drive signature and im not saying to no-life comp the whole season, but to try and take a a day or two to have a session of comp where you get a rough idea of how things are going and what stadium builds you wanna use! I promise itll help am and drives will go by quicker and youll have a much easier time once you have just a bit of a heads up on how comp is before going into it. (also, for stadium people: people post their builds online a lot and lots of people will give advice if asked so its okay to look for stadium build links people shared or ask for help when making your own, the in game pre-builds are fine but wont always be helpful or versatile depending on the comp of your team/the enemy team)

to be clear i dont necessarily agree w rhe whole vid and I still like dbd but I will say the community is not one id engage with much outside of actual friends. like the league comparison is wild but I will admit I avoid both communities for the same reason

also heart palpitations need to fuck off like I did not invite you and why are you so scary
