I hate commandos. Sounds good to me

So the only real weakness observed to the Commando is Air-Strikes.

Bring back Air Strikes!!!

Barf. 6 seconds cooldown so nice. I never have nor will ever really care for streaks, esp the way that they are handled in game.

EON WINS!!!!

It's still not decided - Due to how the competition works, they have to beat EMP in another series. But they're going the distance! This could happen!

I get a certain satisfaction out of putting an ATM salvo into them and seeing how many parts fall off by the second hosedown. Plus they're a little more general use.

It'd have all been over early if EMP had held the hammer down. Now there's hype and interest again.

Is this a jynx thread now?!

I'm hearing talk of a conspiracy by PGI, who asked EMP to drag out the match to fill the stream.

I've chosen to ignore it for the time being.

I don't see how that's relevant, but why not.

Who said anything about running SSRM6? Everybody is using SSRM4. And they aren't running pure Streak boats.

But wanting a 'Mech nerfed because you refuse to use one thing that hard-counters it is kinda silly. It's like all those people wanting MLX nerfs...

Never said anything about wanting to nerf it. I just hate em for the nasty little buggers that they are. K maybe some hitbox something. But no, just pure unadulterated hatred.

Every one of these finals takes place on stupid canyon network. Been going on for years now and it's just boring at this point.

If there were more maps which weren't regarded as bad....

It's because Canyon is hands down the most balanced map in the game. it allows for most playstyles to be effective and doesn't strictly hardcounter or benefit any single build.

I'd say it heavily favours long range trading mechs over brawlers, and jumpjet mechs over non-jumpers. Even the original PGI description called it a sniper focused map. Given the tryhard teams are usually sniper focused, I guess it's no wonder they always choose it.

Were Assassins not available to play in the WC?

They are available. But you'd want Hunche IIC for your medium slots.

Not necessarily. Brawlers can actually do very well on Canyon. They have to know what they are doing, you know, such as lurking the canyons like a minotaur and killing any Lights/ Flankers they encounter.

I find that bizarre, as the Assassin just wrecks things and tanks like a champion. Then again with the IIC-A not a whole lot to go boom on a crit. I'm a bit against the grain and don't care much for the hunchIIC tho. I get what it's desired for but still, it's sluggish as hell and falls apart pretty quick.

There it is.

EMP wins the MWOWC

Congrats to all teams that made it that far, and congrats to Empyreal for winning the championship.

Wow, I can't believe I watched almost the whole stream lol.
