the topic of gatekeeping was sparked by the excalibur stuff and that sparked people critically thinking about how things are structured rn and many observed most people not wanting to scrim down, mainly at high-top levels. the convo just went a few directions all stemming from the same places

Im curious to know where top players are explaining their perspective on things /gen. I might just not be in the right places to see them

sometimes so we just have to settle for a lower levle scrim. Scrimming down also helps the other teams improve too. Its much more nuanced than "just scrim at your level its that simple lol"

It can be easier to try out new strats vs a slightly lower skilled team bc you dont have to be as refined. You can also try to refine something very particular vs lower levels bc you dont have to worry as much about being great in every area. Also it can be impossible to find shit around my level-

Idk if it came across properly but i meant you can shoot them from behind them really easily instead of from the front

You can get one shot sounds from shooting them from the back :3

Yesyesyes its really good

Hold on this is fire?

This doin numbers holy shit

Hehehehe it probably is

Theres only one + player that sploosh could be and thats goat :3 (unless theres another sploosh in plus im unaware of)

Idk its mid 80s here in houston but thats like normal so LOL

Theres so much more but everyone likes different things in these genres so we can branch off wherever or go a completely different route whenever

I do also listen to more chill stuff like:
Channel full of artcore (dnb subgenre) that i listen to for a different vibe

YAYYY im glad you like it :3 there are a lot of ways you could go with recs, so imma just share artists i like and if you want more specifics, i can do that too. I like the speed and controlled chaos so thats what my favs lean into (lots of mixing genres)

Hell yeah nice!
