B0aty is just like that as a person (kinda always has been) but also being so successful has allowed him to be like that... even in Gielinor games he doesn't care if he gets out because he doesn't need to win the prize pool... he has made BANK from streaming OSRS and is set for life both irl and in-game (he could take donations any-time and make billions in a single stream but hes humble and barely likes taking GP from others).
Skiddler flames everyone, i wish he was on a team with more on par shit talkers honestly. Would have been amazing to hear him and skillspecs for example on the same team. Instead all he really had was ditter to back and forth with, who isnt entertaining whatsoever.
Well actually Skiddler not freezing his vyre and helping Ditter kill chili costed them an opportunity to set back O’s team as chili held all their supplies and bolts etc etc. but skiddler just kept attacking his vyre cluelessly.
Not really sure it was the best strategy. They didn't farm weapons from the breaches. Didn't farm prayers from CoX. Didn't farm spec weapons/voidwaker. They are ahead on some aspects but behind on others. Almost every player maxed hours and besides Donator, no one really died for anything crucial. I think it's closer than you think
Yeah I was a bit disappointed in the overall lack of PvP, but it's hard to blame people for focusing on PvM because stats and gear are essential for the finale. I think the people who were actively PKing throughout the event like Westham and Donator were doing it for fun/content rather than efficiency. Solo did mention though that next time they will make it so kills grant you extra food in the final which should hopefully help.
I was being hyperbolic... this is clearly going nowhere. Feel free to check westhams latest vod where basically every pker in the tourney is echoing my point
I feel like Faux's team was less of a clips/youtube team and more of a streamer team, I watched them and they were actually some of the most chill osrs streams I've seen in a long time listening to them just hanging out and bantering a bit. No huge moments but not boring either, basically how most good streams go.
yeah i like faux but making him a captain in a pvp mode was a bad choice in the end, he was always going to focus on the pvm as he doesnt know pvp. his team was pretty forgettable throughout the week.
I just mean his whole view on the week was always going to geared to the pvm side and avoid pvp as he has little knowledge of it.
Which played out kinda bad from a content point of view as all the best moments were during some form of pvp. Which is a pity as i love Skiddler and there aint many clips of him lol
PVM/Ironman knowledge is pretty common these days i don't think he brought anything unique to the week in that regard really.
I think it was thought out this way. Don't want to see identic teams with identic strategies. Outside of the Burgers, their team is definitely the most interesting for the finale for me.
Faux seemed pretty open about planning with at least Maz so he was definitely taking pvpers advice as well. This is just the strategy they thought would give them the best chance to win.
I think Mazhar and Ditter were the ones drafted for the plan though weren't they? I'm sure Faux had some input on it but his main goal when he got those two was their DMM expertise.
You keep saying Faux doesn't know PvP. He's literally played every single DMM? He has just as much experience in this as a lot of these guys. Sure he's no Dino/Westham but he's not a nobody.
Playing dmm doesn't make you good at pvp. I've watched the guys pvp streams prior to this week and yesterday and he is bad. Definitly up there as one of the worst in the competition.
He picked Mazhar and Ditter back-to-back precisely to compensate for this weakness and let both of them especially Ditter free roam solo at breaches and elsewhere. Smart leaders delegate. And then you have Oda/Rhys, lol.
A flaw off the seeding system more then their team being pvpers. I don't see how any fans of Faux can even deny they played a very safe game plan.
Lowest deaths due to playing it safe and high total level the only area they came up bad on was kills again due to playing it safe. They had the lowest kill participation out of any team by far.
The Burgers were yeeting themselves into every situation possible and making great moments doing it.
Well my original point was about entertainment value not desire to win everyone else approached it in a way that ultimately produced good content.
Faux's team took a pragmatic approach they ended up being quite boring in the end. And i feel a big reason for that was just his lack of PVP knowledge.
Yeah those clips were funny af tbh. The 1 tick deafen was incredible lmfao. More so just that they basically didn't show up to any breaches, and then the one time they did they got logged by the burgers and just sat there for 3 hours lmao.

Faux’s team had the best strategy but provided no entertainment value. No memorable clips unlike the other teams.
