Cloud9 Interview: Karnage, Cotto, Rolex, and Ian Huston

Rolex: You don’t have to live within PUBG 24/7, but you can if you want to. As a student, Virtual Camaraderie I also have to balance my schoolwork out while also being a professional player on a professional team. I personally do not play any other game to "unwind" myself. I solely focus on PUBG Mobile . But I have heard of other pro players use other games to bring down the "tensi

One of the key principles that can be forgotten is the crucial reality that a bad weapon loadout can spell death for a player. Having two sniper rifles or a pistol and a shotgun or any variety of un-optimized gear can cause unnecessary death and loss during a match of PUBG. The only exception to this rule is during early match scrambles for gear and weaponry. At this point during a match, survival is the main focus but keeping an eye out for ideal weapons, ammo types, scopes, or vehicles is essential for match succ

Karnage: With PUBG PC/console you will run across a higher level of skill. With Mobile, it is more common to win a chicken dinner even if you’re not a pro player. In order to become a pro on PC it takes far more practice, higher-end equipment, and a good establishment in the pro community. I personally enjoy mobile more because I am able to play anytime, anywhere, just using my mobile ph

The players can jump out of the plane anytime at the beginning of every game. However, this can also be used to the advantage, especially if playing Solo . Most of the players jump together and pick a specific location. On the contrary, if a site is not decided beforehand, players can wait and see how people are jumping

It is a big mistake as other players are already looking in that area. The best way is to travel to a small cabin or house near the edge of the potential blue zone marker. A lot of such homes are one way and do not allow players to jump other players who are hiding. Continually keeping the corner will always give you the edge. No p

The utility behind this maneuver is extremely practical and can be an excellent feather in a player's cap. This technique can allow for quick vehicular dismounts from otherwise lethal situations or it can be an extremely potent diversion tactic. Either way, this is a maneuver that should be practiced and implemented into any aspiring player's reperto

The weapons in Fortnite are designed to look and feel playful. However, the ones in PUBG are realistic in both looks and feel. When the player shoots a gun in PUBG , they have to take into account the gun-specific recoil and how much they should adjust their gun after taking each shot. Since missing a shot might alert an opponent and make them hide or flee, one has to make each shot count. Reloading speed is also a factor that depends on the type of gun one

Competition in video games has been a part of the system since the very beginning. We've come a long way from the 2D world of pong with bare minimum depth to real-time 3D battles happening in front of our screens. And if there is one game that has impacted the multiplayer in this generation, it is PUBG . The game is released on almost all major platforms by now and has become a cult classic alre

M416: Even though not the most ideal with range, the M416 is a solid assault rifle to have on player's backs. It provides enough damage to chip away your opponent's health bar at a brisk pace. The recoil isn't too bad and it's easy to handle. It holds a good amount of ammo in its magazine and it can be a standard choice for any given situat

In the world of esports, few teams are as prolific as Cloud9. Founded in 2013, Cloud9 has teams in all of the hottest competitive games, from League of Legends and Hearthstone to Overwatch and Counter-Strike: Global Offensi

Whether playing alone or with a team, it is imperative to land in a well-connected location. At the same time, it is also essential to predict the moves. Going in without a plan means lesser goals, and that results in a lot of confusion between the team. Knowing that everyone will jump at Camp Bravo and then recenter at Bhan, helps everyone have a steady g

Ian Huston: My esports career started in Vainglory , a mobile MOBA, so I always like to check in when there are new updates and to keep up with the community. From there, I really enjoy both Hearthstone and Overwatch . As many others like me in the industry have found, the more I work in esports, the less I have time to play. There is no difference between multiplayer and single player for work and entertainment. Rather, it’s just a healthy divide by a person to denote what is work and play for them persona

UMP9: The UMP9 is a good all-around SMG that can go the distance with any match. Even though it eats bullets like popcorn, it uses 9mm bullets which are scattered all over the map like Christmas candy. So, players will clearly have no shortage of ammunition with it. It's most deadly at close to medium range and can be effective at chewing up other players' health status'. It's maybe not the best at using it as a primary weapon, but it's a handsome choice as a secondary
