9impulse: «Energy-based guns will be in the meta»
9impulse interview
Kirill "9impulse" Kostyv gave an interview after for the last chance ALGS Super Regional, where he shared his opinion on the number of slots, and also evaluated the latest changes in the game.
I already feel like I'm at home in Kyiv. Especially when NAVI media is around, they show and tell me everything. I've been here a bunch of times already, it's a very cool city, a lot of friends here.
There's no point in hiding it, we've been struggling lately with the teamwork. And since we're all overwatch players(Nikita is hiding it), we decided to pick characters that are more skill-based rather than ones that require teamwork.
Revenant gives 150 extra health, and Crypto takes 150. The plan is simple, it is imbalanced if you can hit with him.
It seems Bangalore is useless right now... I haven't seen her anywhere in a long time. Oh, I remember, ad hog gaming played with her and Bloodhound (smokes with Bloodhound Ult or if you have a vision and everything is cool), but it didn't work out. However, they managed to run at us twice in the final and bury both of us.
Definitely not! The Turkish teams are very weak. There are a couple of exceptions, but they will pass on points anyway because their qualification is just a freebie. :) And even take last chance qualifications: we have 120 + teams (I don`t remember the exact number), and they have 16.
Mistakes were made: in the first game, we were scared and played incorrectly. Everyone started to push by themselves instead of playing together. We didn't even trust each other on the information. Also in one of the games, our opponent with the controller gave us 150 + 100 from one clip of the "carabiner" (he was a solo player, I think he had 3x carabine). In the last game we were unlucky with the zone: we couldn't survive there, and we were choked really badly. We ressed two or three times — I can't remember, and it hurts to recall... Five squads haunted us, we barely made it out.
I liked that they added craft: a cool system, especially now that everyone is going to play with energy-based guns... You won't find ammo for them, but you will be able to craft them! And as for the location... There are a lot of chokes that you can't get through, why aren't they removing them? I don't understand that.
It's the right call. It's too random with the train. I saw a team that had 4 games out of 6 in the finals and they were all in purple and gold.
To be honest, I didn't even notice. :)
I highly doubt that. Specifically, her walls are nonsense. The Legend is weak on paper.
The energy-based guns will be in the meta: it's like they reduced TTK on purpose, everyone goes down in a heartbeat.
I am content, I would also like to be satisfied with our results, but that's in the next season of tournaments. It's a shame!
I never met him, but I've heard of the mega-cool "emperors" from the Rainbow Six Siege. I also saw that he played a lot of Hyper Scape when he was looking for the third one.
Thank you all for your support. The karaoke and signs for as points rewards will be back soon!
