Most people are better on whichever system they started on.

It's incredibly easy, ask them. Try to find people who were very good on idev, then later better on pc. I've talked about this a lot with people.

I know a bunch of average idevice players that became good sparers with a PC, but I don't know any good sparers that jumped to PC. Can you name a few, so I can ask them. The only semi good one I can think of was the mamba noob that was licking teks sack when I was going at it with him on the forum.

BTW aren't these 2 statements saying the opposite?

Ok to be fair, I don't even know if it was because I was bad on idev, or just bad in general at the time that I switched. I had just got done being a slave for VG for 7k of their fort hours and I was still pretty much a noob. The reason I had switched (true story here) is I saw how dominant people like Ares and Prado were at the time, and like any noob would I pmed them asking how to get better at spar. I kid you not, they replied with "use pc" and so I naturally followed their advice. Based on this I think I was PC before I ever really got good at spar, so it could be what you're saying, or it could be I just got good in general and was playing PC, and I don't think it will ever really be clear. I hope you enjoyed my spar backstory!

You don't have to explain yourself. You should know when the seriousness stops and the "trolling" begins. BTW I agree with your "I had just got done being a slave for VG for 7k of their fort hours and I was still pretty much a noob."

I agree with that because you have been playing since 2010 and I didn't know you until graalians

iDevice just isn't complicated.
I got a 16+ streak in main room.
But I mean, that's only because I've already had experience in the past.
PC just made me a better sparrer overall.

Sparring today I see one big advantage on idevice.
Baiting!
It's so easy to bait on idev due to how fast you can change directions.

Also the lag, idevices get much lower ms due to optmization.

That said, it's not about the device you are using.
Mixed gst is just harder to win = more competitive.
Harder to win = mixed
More teams around the same skill = idev

I hope a really good idev team comes along and pulls an alumni. Would be cool to see.

I started on idev but not competitively because i was noob then i become 1k-1k and switched to pc

Switched from idev to pc at around 4k wins, was a little hard to make the switch but its a lot easier to spar on pc then idev.

I see where aguzman is coming from with the run and bait method which works amazingly for idev players.

Also maybe its time they gave the game client an update, I get 200 ping on idev and 245-250 on pc thanks to optimization.

Not happening until they get a replacement for Stefan I'm assuming. Although you never know!

I heard it was, because it's running on flash.

Maybe if it was on client, would be a different story.

I tested this so many times today, and got 70-90 ms on idev, while on PC I would get 120-150, sometimes 200.

I wonder if they will leave it like this, and then statuses would be changed to: "iDev Master Race"

"You are on idev, only reason why you are winning, if you would get on PC and even the lag, you would get owned."
"Well, I can get on idev too, you beat me 10-0, so I bet your PC was just faster!"
"iDev controls are so easy! All you have to do is use 1 finger, get on PC and watch me beat you!"

wait what? a replacement for stefan? if you are talking about stefan knorr and he left us like a year ago. so then my guess is that unixmad is hiring someone from real life to fill stefans spot who is fluent at french and capable of server management for graal?

man if that's the case, im hyped

I was assuming they were looking for one since Elk posted a link where they were looking for a person to fill his role.
