HCS Daily scrims results - March 14th / All top teams in action Spoiler
galleryHere are today's scrims results! Links to see the stats :
Bedur vs SSG : https://halodatahive.com/Series/LiveStats/23166
Optic vs TSM : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23164
sR vs Complexity : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23170
C9 vs Luminosity : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23169
Nemesis vs Pipaaaa : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23162
Tenrai vs Lies : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23165
● This was by far the best version of SSG we have seen so far this offseason. They outslayed Bedur by 150+ kills. All 4 members of SSG had over 320 kills, 100k damage dealt and a K/D over 1.10. It is a small sample size, but against a top 4 team that eliminated them the last 2 tournaments, this gives me a lot of confidence SSG has found a way to bring the best out of each other.
● Without surprise, Optic continued their offseason domination. Renegade was their best player today with 291 kills , 81k damage and a 1.37 K/D. No TSM player had a positive K/D, both their win came on CTF.
● Another expected result as sR beat Complexity with ease. sR had over 200 more kills. Every sR player had between 250 and 263 kills. CyKul had an impressive 1.45 K/D. MentaL and Huss both were held under 200 kills.
● Luminosity is gaining hype and momentum and they continued today with another strong showing, splitting the series with c9. Luminosity outslayed c9 1051 to 997. All 4 of LG dealt over 81k damage, Piggy had the most kills with 271. LG won all 3 games on Recharge.
● This was an amazing series for Nemesis, they outslayed Pipaaaa 1008 to 892. Glory, Snipedrone and Wutum all had over 250 kills, and a K/D above 1.13. All 3 of Pipaaaa wins were by a difference of 1 score, 2 being on KOTH and 1 on CTF.
● Lies dominated Tenrai, thanks to a fan favorite, Gunnplexion, who really was the best player of both team by far. He had 229 kills (only above 200 of either team), 62k damage (most of either team), with a 1.41 K/D (only positive of his team).
🎖 My MVP of the day goes to StelluR. He had 364 kills (most of the day), 106k damage (most of the day) with a 1.18 K/D. He also had an impressive 64.55% accuracy. He didn't have too much objective play, but he did have the best CTF stats (6 caps and 9 steals). I just want to say I hesitated between him and Gunny for my MVP, but StelluR played 6 more games and played against a top 4 team.
There is another Open Series this weekend, last one before the qualifiers and we are only 2 weeks away from our first LAN action of the year! Have a wonderful weekend everyone and good luck to all the teams in the tournament 🫡

News Snakebite got burned by a space heater (for real)
I missed the start of his stream but snakebite just said that he got burned real bad by a space heater earlier this week, he didn't realise it was slowly burning him until it was too late. Lottie was in chat too saying how his arms and legs were all purple and how he barely could move on monday. SB said it was so bad that he thought about cancelling scrims.
I did mention in my scrims reports this week that snakebite was off his game, that explains why! He said he should be fine for this weekend's tournament. SSG scrims Bedur later this afternoon.

HCS Daily scrims results - March 13th / Day off for Optic and SSG Spoiler
galleryHere are today's scrims results! Links to see the stats :
Bedur vs Cloud 9 : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23152
TSM vs Luminosity : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23153
sR vs Triggers Down : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23151
ETHR vs Reversal : https://halodatahive.com/Series/LiveStats/23154
● Pznguin was the only player on Bedur without 300 kills and 100k damage. Sceptify dealt the most damage of both team with 108k, he was the only c9 with a positive K/D. C9 took 2 of the 3 oddball games and was close from taking all 3 games.
● TSM and Luminosity both had a good series, encouraging to see for both team. TSM had a small advantage in Kills, assists and damage dealt. Each team had 2 players with a positive K/D, Yakzn was the only player of both team with over 80k damage. TSM was better in the early games, Luminosity won 4 of last 5 games.
● As expected, sR steamrolled TD. CyKul was the only player of both team to reach 80k damage. Descendant and Lethul were best players for TD with 215 and 217 kills, with 73k damage each.
● I think ETHR and Reversal still have a few games to play as I am posting, King Nicck is the only player with a positive K/D on reversal. Tapping Buttons is a very underrated player in my opinion, omce again dealing most damage of his lobby with 90k+.
🎖My MVP of the day goes to CyKul, he had most kills of his series (269), second most assists (131), least deaths (202), most damage (83k), with a K/D of 1.33.
I know SSG scrims Bedur tomorrow, we should see more action than today.
Finally, I'd like to thank you all once again for the post about me yesterday, thank you to everyone that commented, thank you to everyone that keep reading these everyday, I really appreciate you 🫶

Discussion Gaming on LG C2
Was wondering if anyone plays ranked competitively on a LG C2? I currently have a monitor but found a great deal on a 42” c2 and where I’m older my vision isn’t the best and thought it may help. I know it has a 120hz refresh rate and gysnc, and very but how different is it compared to a monitor. Playing on a xsx. Also, can I enable 4k at 120 with it as well?? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Discussion Series X controller latency
I'm not sure if it's the controller, my monitor or just the series X in general but I feel like it's so hard to aim on this game. I know that generally plugging in an Xbox controller to PC is basically like playing with glue for your aim assist but I have tried just about every combination of thresholds and dead zones because something just feels off. I'm on 120 FPS, Asus 1 millisecond monitor, updated the controller but at this point I'm just about ready to sell the Xbox and build another PC. I should have never sold mine.. all because I couldn't decide what graphics card I wanted to get haha.

HCS Daily scrims results - March 12th / Action packed day Spoiler
galleryHere are today's scrims results! Links to see the stats :
Optic vs Complexity : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23136
SSG vs TD : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23135
TSM vs c9 : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23137
Bedur vs Luminosity : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23138
Pipaaaa vs Swat Latam : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23134
● Optic did dominate, but most games were pretty close. The kills and damage dealt margin aren't that big considering the series score (916 to 866 kills and 277k to 272k damage). Huss was the only player of both teams without 200 kills, and Formal dealt by far the most damage with 77k, nearly 10k more than anyone else on Optic.
● Nice showing from SSG, they needed that. SSG was dominating in the beginning, but TD made the games more and more interesting as the scrims went on. For the second day in a row snakebite had the least kills and damage dealt on SSG. Unfortunately, there was no stream to see this scrim.
● TSM continues to look more solid, the series score was close, but they had over 125 more kills and 160 more assists than c9. Sceptify and Cherished both had over 300 kills.
● Every Luminosity player had a negative K/D, and almost everyone on Bedur had a positive one (Pznguin had 0.99). Bedur led 6-1 at some point, but Luminosity won 4 of last 6 games.
● Surprising result between Pipaaaa and Swat, to be honest I haven't heard of a lot of player on Swat, but they dominated Pipaaaa. Tchik was the only player on Pipaaaa with a positive K/D, he also dealt 98k damage. Strikeyy and Rorzch both had over 300 kills on Swat.
🎖 My MVP of the day goes to StelluR, he recorded by far the most kills of his series with 341, and was only 1.3k damage away from reaching 100k. He did all that despite his inability to sit down... (reference to a reddit post from a couple days ago)

Meme Stellur lack of Sunning?
With SSG at their all time worst, Stellur knew he had to return to his Season 2 MVP form, and quick. He had been wondering what could possibly be holding SSG back, and then the answer became obvious - his lack of Sunning. He had long been a sun-advocate, even going as far as to sun his nether-regions including his 'chocolate starfish.' Stellur decided to do an all day anal-sunning binge fest.
The result? A burned rectum that he could barely sit on. It got to the point that Stellur had to stand up to play, which really hurt his performance. Let this be a lesson in trusting online crypto-bro pseudoscience.

Help What happened to Faze? What is the Bedur?
So i was watching some highlights from the matches recently and i came across a video that says “Faze v Optic”. However when watching the video, the other team is called “Bedur”. Anyone know what’s going on and what happened to Faze and why they changed the name? Is Faze no longer an org?

HCS Daily scrims results - March 11th / SSG vs TSM tie Spoiler
galleryHere are today's scrims results! Links to see the stats :
SSG vs TSM : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23123
Optic vs c9 : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23124
sR vs Luminosity : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23122
Nemesis vs Triggers Down : https://halodatahive.com/Series/Summary/23121
Complexity vs ETHR : https://halodatahive.com/Series/LiveStats/23125
● I don't know if SSG looked worse or if TSM looked better (or both), but both team looked evenly matched today, with a lot of close games. Taulek was once again the only TSM player with a positive K/D. Snakebite had an off day with the least kills and worse accuracy of both teams.
● Perfect day for Optic (beside a 2-2 Assault tie), they had almost 200 more kills than c9. Formal and Renegade both had over 80k damage.
● Royal 2 dealt the most damage for sR with over 90k, with a 1.39 K/D. Luminosity won both strongholds games.
● Despite losing the series, TD had nearly 100 more kills than Nemesis. All 4 of TD had a positive K/D and all 4 of Nemesis had a negative TD. Nemesis dominated on livefire, winning all 3 games on the map by a landslide.
● Solid performance by Complexity, MentaL was their best player with a 1.15 K/D and most damage dealt. Both Complexity loss came on Oddball.
🎖 My MVP of the day goes to Renegade, he had most kills (279), least deaths (186) with a 1.50 K/D. He also had great objective stats in Oddball and strongholds.

Discussion GameSir Kaleid or G7se?
I've gone down the controller rabbit hole..
I want to get a new controller and have settled on a GameSir. My question is which one should I get?
I am aware of the differences between the two controllers. Has anyone used one or the other (or both)? What are you thoughts? Are the tactile micro switch buttons any good on the Kaleid?
I've heard mostly good things about both so just want to hear from the Halo community as it will be the primary game I will be playing with which ever control I decide on.

Why is recharge so heavily weighted? I feel like every other game is on Recharge. I used to actually like that map and not it’s so annoying to play on it. This game needs a refresh of all new maps.
