As in title, would it be possible to have the amount of players in-game for each Q showed?
Cuz as it currently stands I find it hard to judge if the Q is actually alive and players are simply in-game or if the Q is dead and I'm gonna waste 1.5h again just for one 15 minute shitfest even though there is 1.6k people online which.

Something like that.

Am I the only now who thinks that this responses are actually kinda pathetic? And are only made here and now considering they can directly profit from them as they make for nice PR stunts during the elections?

How is it that before the whole election you wouldn't even think about answering those questions. Hell you could have answered those so long ago but do it only now when it's clear that you will profit from it.

So, why only now, why didn't you actually try to make this a better place before you set your sights at becoming the PC?

Exactly what others have said, this isn't King's of setons clutch tournament and I have no clue who allowed for the avatars to be even used in a tournament that's not even trying to determine the best people on clutch. Not to mention the addition of nomads...

As much as I would love to watch it, I can't say I'm to thrilled about your usage of the "king of map" brand in a tournament that is anything but that...

I think one of the problems that you aren't just willing to look at is the presentation to new players.
This is something that Biass and FtX have to watch out for.
Sure the map gen is great addition for us seasoned players who are all sick of BO whoring and want less competitive enviroment where burden of map knowledge is kept to minimum. We can also live with smaller and bigger mistakes like terrain not being obvious or something, as we are getting the kick out of finding new random map to play on. We are fine with ugly decals as long as we don't get to play the same game of burden of knowledge for the first 10 minutes of the game as to how to expand on certain maps or how to not lose the game at minute 11 by having worse Air BO.

But new players won't be as amazed, they will be pissed for having to fight against game again and again where nothing makes sense to them. Them getting a bad map will be much more impactful compared to us. Them seeing ugly map compared to what they can see on current ladder will also look strange. Why are they playing on ugly maps with pathfinding problems when there are hundreds of great hand crafted maps available to them.
Not to mention the fact that with random maps they will never get to feel at home seeing the same map for 3-4 time and now kinda knowing what to play on that map. Instead they will be faced with the daunting experience of having to play against not only enemy but also against brand new map with each new game.

Not to mention the fact that the newbies will have even harder time getting accustomed to setting economy up and running when they have to learn how to improvise BO each and every time they enter the match. What you all want to do is all nice and dandy if you are seasoned player who already have played the game for a while and is accustomed to it's problems.
But a new player? You are literally inviting living hell upon them and making sure that the ladder experience will become even more daunting to many of them as they get scared of yet another layer of unknown.

Sad caster noises:
Bases? What bases?

Like somebody should teach me how to speak "Igirisu".

After seeing this BO's I have cured my FAF depression and actually played some games today!

Also dunno if useful but I just remembered I can do bootleg brackman if needed:

Gib replay.

I mean, the approval should be given before the tournament. It's on @Lenkin for not working it out.

Games 1 and 2 of the showmatch

Yes commander, kaboom...

Can you check your ram speed and timings? Preferably by making screenshot in something like CPU-Z or HW-info.
Another thing might be really checking if there isn't some bloatware installed on your PC that is chugging all the resources, as your CPU even when not overclocked should be boosting up to like 3.75Ghz just fine as long as it's cooled properly, though honestly cooling this CPU ain't a problem considering mine is peaking 62-63C in torture tests in Prime 95 with rather standard after market cooler.

What other have said, as owner of R5 2600 I can 100% say that I was never the slowest one in-game, as such changing the CPU just for supcom would be waste of money as we are still always bottlenecked by the slowest CPU in game. Another thing worth checking is your ram configuration as it have a really big impact on how fast supcom performs, to the point that just changing timings can lead to significant performance gains in supcom.

Honestly to me it seems that there is something wrong with the rest of your setup or maybe you just have some bloatware on PC that taxes the CPU while playing.

People about to make the most unfun AIR unit in the existence with all this fuel ideas. And then they will come back to bitching how reclaiming is too tedious reeeeeeeeeeeee!

Don't touch fuel, the reality is that you can't make any good and fun gameplay with it anyway considering the game we are playing. Not to mention, refueling them takes no time and costs nothing as long as you remember how to build air staging. It's just fucking tedious and unfun mechanic to focus on in this game. And before you actually go and say how other games do with it just fine, yeah they do but they are more micro focused and offer different playing field. One that puts way more emphasis on micro compared to supcom. Not to mention different game mechanics compared to what we are left with.

Add's additional range. So you can outrange stupid people who built t1 pd only.

Maybe instead of having it refresh after disappearing from vision it could basically toggle itself off and on every 5-10s? Sounds like it could be easier to do than making sure unit was out of vision for a certain period of time, though again having 100's of frigates do it every 5-10s sounds like a small tactical attack aimed at performance.

But now that I think about it, it could lead to unwanted behaviour of the main units being targeted while the on/off switch is being performed and alas still making it kinda useless during actual fight as long as main blip remains a target to enemy weaponry due to the off/on loop being performed.

@wikingest
You don't need to know how to use mass perfectly, even tagada, nexus and Yudi aren't capable of that seeing as they still lose games and can be seen stalling at times or floating mass. The reality is that this magic manual RECLAIM thingy is not what's gating you from achieving greatness. It's not even that important in the grand scheme of things as proper attack moves are more than good enough at reclaiming stuff.

The whole notion that this would somehow free up your apm is also nothing but fallacy considering factory attack move already exists and is great way to scoop up massive reclaim fields at basically no APM cost.

Like what is next? Discussion about the building Q reclaim that makes your engies scoop up all the mass fast beneath the Q'ed building?

Also, if I'm still somehow 1.7k rated and mostly using attack move for my reclaim orders apart from early where there is literally nothing to do then maybe manual reclaim ain't what is gating you from the great heights? And as someone who was 2k but dropped back to 1.7k currently I can 100% say that manual reclaim knowledge and APM aren't the issues that I'm facing but lack of feeling for the game and abysmal economy management coupled with suicidal tendencies. Literally few reclaim rocks are the least of my concerns if I were to be aiming at getting back to my peak rating. And anyone who thinks that this is the problem is just deluding themselves to find anything but their own shortcomings as the reason they are stuck.

Inb4 aurora and mantis don't break trees as they aren't real tanks.

If they knew how to use mass they wouldn't be below 1500. Sorry that's the truth no matter how you spin it.
