BanditB17 and Mdmzer0zero shout cast a match

now to set this up I should mention comp or competitive MWO game play is alot different then what we play in pug land so they are a bit shocked by some of the load outs
BanditB17 says "I will eat my hat if the LRM team wins"

The amount of in-credulousness from the casters lol

Dear god that stream quality is so horrible. So much pixelation even on Source quality. They really need to upgrade the bitrate.

Also this is a far cry from "good" competitive play. This is basically green units who've decided to play in the Tournament for laughs. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The casters did well for what material they had to work with though, I'll give them that. Overall looks like I made the right decision to not care about the Championship though, that bit, while amusing, was very gross.

one of the biggest things I have learned by watching comp play is a term they call overwatch (sniper)

that is a guy in the back ground laying down fire while a brawl is going on

don't get wrong its always been around but I did not know there was a specific term for it

lastly a few weeks ago I was flipping through some cable cannels and I found the world championship
for Counter Strike on

to me MWO spectated way better then a FP shooter

I have watched several of the Tournament streams and I have enjoyed them. It is always fun when an unconventional deck or strategy triumphs.

Love 1FWG. The casters have always had very colorful and informative commentary, and it looks like their camera work continues to improve.

There's even a strategy you can execute on certain maps where everybody not in a light takes up a an overlapping overwatch posture. This is called Power Positioning.

Also, I find MOBAs to be the most interesting video games to watch as eSports go.

I dropped with 1FWG in CW are they the ones that wanted you to have a heavy that did 70kph or faster?

Considering they brought an 80kph Zeus and an Executioner... I would say that's a good bet.

To be fair, I can't think of any heavies that go slower than 70kph that aren't Black Widows.

overwatch seems to be a term used these days.
I used to call it moving under a base of fire

my Jager is pretty slow
the only Mech I had that could do 70KPH or higher was my 5 ERLL Cat
