#its not competitiveness its the difference in capability and knowedge from top to bottom in both teams and individuals that makes it worse

yes please !

okay this one is on the competitiveness of the event. ive touched on this before but it feels like to me noxcrew are stuck between it being a competitive event and just for fun - with teams and players probably attempting to be more competitive while the new games and alterations to existing ones are leading it for more fun.

and the competitive people arent enjoyign the gimmicky games and the changes as much, while the for-fun players dont enjoy the amount of prep the competitive players do.

another point i see a lot of people raise is 'increasing competitiveness of the event' <- i actually really disagree that this is happening, and i instead feel like it's increasingly less competitive between players.

My problem with the event atm is that currently only about ~4 people (prupled, ant, FBM, hannah) rly rly care to win, but they care so much and they put in so much effort it's very disproportionate to everyone else playing, and just makes it predictable and a bit boring with them all high up on leaderboards every time.

Compared to a year or so ago, when i think on average more people put in more effort (think of the then playing 8 s-tiers who would all put in a fair amount of effort plus ant + 5up + fundy + hbomb + cpk + krtzy +punz , etc. etc.) so the overall competitiveness was perhaps higher back then, but there was less difference between the most competitive and the more chilled players <- which is really the big issue here.
