The teams I've *really* been trying to talk about are [P*] and |C|, Horizon was a mixture of the two. What I was trying to say is that IMO a 30ms ping in the situation of these two teams playing is not going to be the determining factor in who wins or not.Nunchuk_Skillz said:But that doesn't say anything at all about newnet, and I'm not sure why you keep bringing it up. I think you're trying to say that they'd adapt to having a 30 ping deficit and still win, but that's a pointless statement because a) you're not talking about even teams, since they're so stacked, and b) Cursive would almost never allow his team to play with a ping deficit anyway (gee, wonder why...).
Maybe so, but if you ask me that has more to do with personal preference than that he believes it will cause him to lose.A more meaningful question would be: if Cursive's team had a 30ms ping disadvantage against a team that presented even a minor threat against his team, would he be okay without using newnet, or would he insist on newnet?
[P*] and |C| are arguably the most evenly matched teams ever to have existed in 2kX. No other team has really matched them.So if you're going to keep bringing up old teams that were good, please at least apply it to the discussion in a meaningful way. And the only way to do that is to either think about 2 evenly matched teams and a ping disadvantage to one of them and how newnet would or wouldn't affect the outcome, *or* to think about whether the disadvantaged team (in terms of ping) would prefer to play with or without newnet.
