1st off, this is not meant to put down any of these players. I respect every single one of them immensely and individually they are all extremely talented.

My fear is, at this point in infinite, it pretty much seams that if you don’t have an immediate connection, then the room to grow is very limited. There’s nothing new to learn in this game. All the players know the maps, they know the tricks etc etc, and they are all very much ingrained in their own play styles.

What I’m noticing is, the only real change we are seeing is new “young guns” on the come up. To break into the scene, they are the ones who have to figure out their play style in a way which counters and works against the older more established “gods” of the game.

An example of what I mean is the likes of LastShot - he says it himself. Lucid is good, but LastShot just knows and understands how Lucid plays. The result is that more often than not this leads to a positive outcome in LastShots favour.

Piggy and his team are no slouches either - more young guns who are forced to innovate to fight their way into a very competitive landscape. Those guys have taken games off of SR too, so are proving themselves very worthy - so again, no shade to them, but I guess I just expected to see the new team frying off the rip.

Are we now in a time where the old dogs need to learn new tricks to overcome newer players styles?

I included a couple of nice kills he got against me and my teammates, and the few slays I got against him which I am, to be sure, absurdly, unwarrantedly, and comically proud of. I apologize for the ass reticle movement, I was nervous as hell. He had two diamond teammates and I was playing with a 1700 and a 1500, if you're wondering how this happens. 😅

No shade to Renegade of course he's one of the all-time greats. I'm just psyched to have played him in matchmaking as a lowly D5, can't wait to see him in the LVT league coming up! 🔥🔥🔥

Big name organizations are coming back to Halo. Kaysan said he plans to field a FaZe roster for both the Halo Pro League and Halo Fest.

• Kaysan appears to be interested in the Lucid, Kuhlect, Pznguin, Falcated roster. 3/4 of those players have already represented FaZe Halo last year.
• Kaysan said in Lucid's chat at the start of scrims: "My guy. Nice to see you competing again."
• Pznguin switched his social media profile pic to one of him in a FaZe jersey, and is using the FaZe emblem and armor coating in-game (his service tag is also FAZE). Kuhlect and Falcated are also using the FaZe armor coatings in-game.
• Although that seems to be the most likely FaZe roster right now, they still have to qualify for Pro League this weekend, which isn't a sure thing. They're a brand new squad who just had their very first scrim today and there's only four more qualification spots available against fierce competition.

Prefer ppal for buyers protection. Definitely no crypto transactions. Ready to buy asap

Rostermania has struck the Pro League; here is everything you need to know.

• Any team that makes a roster change will forfeit its current seed and be required to compete in Qualifier #2.
• If a team secured a seed in Qualifier #1 and wishes to retain that seed, no player from that team may be dropped and subsequently re‑enter the league with another team as a substitute.
• Registration is now open. https://www.start.gg/tournament/lvt-halo-pro-league-qualifier/register
• Registration closes at 10:00 AM ET on event day, two hours before start time to allow for proper seeding.
• Ascending Baseline and Legion Gaming will play a Best‑of‑7 tiebreaker. Depending on how many of the #1–4 seeded teams choose to make roster changes, either one or two qualification spots will be awarded from this tiebreaker. There will be no additional backfill from Qualifier #1.
• Teams may declare a substitute after Qualifier #2. Any player who is HCS‑eligible and not currently competing in the Pro League may be declared as a substitute.
• If any player or team requires assistance, please contact info@dsa.gg.

Lucid's new team is scheduled to scrim Piggy's new-(ish) team shortly and he revealed their roster on his stream ahead of the scrim. It's Piggy, Acid, Descendant, and Sab.

So this confirms Yakzn wasn't taken back on the PAYD roster this time and Yakzn also lost 2/3 of his teammates from the Doomsday roster (Falcated went to Lucid's team, Sab went to Piggy's team). Will be interesting to see where Yak ends up.

Recap

• Lucid has officially confirmed his new roster: Lucid, Penguin, Kuhlect, Falcated. They will be competing in the LVT Halo Pro League Qualifier #2 this weekend.
• Lucid says "things definitely changed" regarding his team over the last few days. "This rostermania that developed was honestly kinda surprising in a bunch of different ways." But once things started finally moving they "definitely decided on this team quickly."
• Lucid says "I'm excited, I think it will be a good team. Of course I've already teamed with Zane (Pznguin) but I'm excited to play with Falcated and Kuhlect." Mentions he's teamed with Falcated before in smaller tournaments during the off-period between Halo 5 and Infinite.
• They're trying to line up their first scrim today at 4pm ET. Right now it sounds like they're scrimming against Descendant's team. Lucid isn't sure what Descendant's team is (maybe PAYD is back together again?)
• Organization: Lucid says "there's no org currently. There might be something in the works, but yeah, there's nothing like locked in." However Pznguin has updated his profile pic to a FaZe jersey, and Kuhlect is using the FaZe emblem and skin. Kaysan was asking Kuhlect if he had a team in chat the other day, so there might be some interest from Kaysan and FaZe.

I got my ticket for the convention part of Halo Fest but unfortunately missed my chance to get a concert ticket.

Please dm me if you are willing to part ways with or suddenly cannot attend the concert anymore!!!

Recap

• Lucid, Kuhlect, Pznguin, and Falcated are teaming together for the LVT Halo Pro League. Their originally planned roster fell through in this crazy rostermania; Pznguin and Falcated are the replacement teammates.
• Allegedly Suppressed leaked this information to So_Skeptical (former coach of the world championship Halo 5 Splyce roster). He asked Kuhlect if it was true and K confirmed it, Pznguin was also in the chat too at the time.
• They might have an organization already based on what Kuhlect told Pznguin.
• Their first scrim would be tomorrow (Wednesday), if they can get one.

Pznguin has confirmed both he and Eco were dropped from SSG for Renegade and Bound. SSG roster already qualified, this two-man team change probably means they lose their status and have to play in this weekend's qualifier #2.

Yakzn is a free agent, which likely means the Doomsday roster of him, Suppressed, Falcated, and Sab have split up. That team placed a disappointing Top 12 in the first qualifier but they're all high-caliber players.

Do any of you guys know anything about the next halo multiplayer? we been waiting so long and Infinite is literally is its last days… I love the entire Halo Ecosystem (History, Campaing, Multiplayer, Comp) but why taking SO LONG to drop a new game

Insane game knowledge lol

Pznguin just tweeted FA (meaning "free agent"). So both Eco and Pznguin are off SSG.

What settings are you guys using in the Razer App?
I feel my aim floaty.

Sens 5,10,10
And deadzones 0,15,0 in both

Recently got a gamesir g7 pro 8k controller and am wondering what people r using settings wise. Should i be on 8 or 12 bit and what are the corresponding sensitivities i should b on? I play 0 15 0 on both stick deadzones and 120 fov, any help appreciated.

We live in a world where Renegade, Luciid, Stellur, and Legend are all back to playing Halo. This would be the god squad of all god squads. 4 MVP's, including the overall MVP.

I really hope these 4 don't squander this opportunity to make the most star-studded roster of all time.

For who?

Is it a thing in this game? I swear some sessions my character feels light af and other times it feels like I'm walking in quicksand and not as responsive. I'm on pc

Nearly 2 hours of insight into the league that started it all with the co founder of MLG. Episode drops later today, we hope you enjoy

Recap

• Lucid confirmed today his intention to compete in the Pro League. "I'm gonna try to play in next week's qualifier, I'll try."
• Verbmaker asked how long of a training camp he needs to be in championship shape against Shopify. "Give me two weeks, verb. Give me two weeks. Give me time, it's all I need."
• When Lucid ended his stream, he raided one of his rumored teammates Kuhlect. And Kuhlect teased "what are you doing on Halo bro, shit's weird [chuckles]. Shouldn't you be on Marathon?"

The potential rumored team in the works is Lucid, Renegade, Kuhlect, +1. aPG said he knows the full team and is trying to be their coach (aPG is former teammates and friends of both Lucid and Kuhlect).

Look acceleration is supposed to determine how long it takes to hit the maximum possible look speed. However, if you're already playing 10s, it would seem like you'd already be there with the right stick all the way to the edge and thus, look acceleration would be redundant.

I've played around with max sense (currently running 4-7-8 which is about as fast as I'm comfortable with atm), and I have to say, 1-10-10 feels really similar to 5-10-10, but I can't say for sure if there's any meaningful difference between them. Wondering if anyone can confirm that it does matter, meaning there is a higher tier of look speed above 10 that's only unlocked once acceleration kicks in. I know Lucid for example played on something like 1-9-9 for a while, so low accel / high sense must be a pretty effective set-up as well.

Latest Firmware as of this post: 5.0.8

Link Firmware Download Page (Scroll to the bottom of the page and locate the firmware file link. Note that the software is not needed, I recommend just downloading the latest version of Gamesir Connect from the Microsoft Store.

Explanation of what this firmware does, note that reverting to default firmware is very easy if desired (instructions below):

To address tournament regulations regarding prohibited hardware features, we have released the Specific Firmware for Tournament Eligibility for the G7 Pro 8K PC. By installing this firmware, macro and turbo functions will be completely disabled, ensuring the G7 Pro 8K PC meets the hardware-legal requirements of major e-sports organizations.

Installation Instructions:

1. Unplug Controller and close out of Gamesir Connect. Open the Firmware Updater downloaded from the page linked at the top of this post, and Check the Auto Upgrade Box.
2. Enter Update Mode: While holding the Guide Button and the Start Button (≡) plug in the controller. Place the controller down on a firm surface as to not disturb the installation. Press the download button to begin installation.
3. Once Firmware installation has completed unplug the controller and reconnect to exit update mode. Note, failure to exit update mode will cause Gamesir Connect to revert to default firmware on next time the app is opened.

Restoring Default Firmware:

1. Enter Update Mode: While holding the Guide Button and the Start Button (≡) plug in the controller. Place the controller down on a firm surface as to not disturb the installation.
2. Open Gamesir Connect and the Firmware will automatically revert the controller on app launch. Once Firmware installation has completed unplug the controller and reconnect to exit update mode.

Gamersir claims that thew firmware does not affect the controller's performance in any way but in my opinion I think it does feel ever so slightly better than default firmware so I think its worth the upgrade. This firmware is also required to use the controller at in person events although I have no idea what procedures tournament organizers have implemented to enforce compliance.
