skulk squad was actually exactly split pc/ps4, or if you went by hours, heavily pc.
my two cr8 players were ps4, nicos pc obvs, and my other teammate that hadnt played since june ~cr60 was pc. i have 5-6xās as many hours on pc as i do on ps4, but i always use a ps4 controller regardless.
take that as you will, lol.
edit: zodiac was the 5th and i think someone said they were xbox. if thats true, xbox had the most players, followed by pc at this tournament? lol
One thing the tournament definitely taught me was playing with a controller is hard lol. Definitely give the controller players props that mastered playing the game with it.

I think youāre right about Zodiac being Xbox but I think NocTurnal was a PS4 team, I thought I remembered the name from the Qualifier.
I feel like this tourney would have been too sweaty for me.
But then again I do consider myself very competitive.
But I also hate meta/cc spam/broken comps.

Sigh.
I donāt hate all the meta or the concept of meta, I hate all this spammy abuse of broken OP characters and gear, and sweaty cheesing like backdooring. Which has become part of the meta at this point. I put that in my post, if you want to cherrypick it you can I guess.
God forbid I have fun in a game and still be competitive.

Same, good thing in tournaments there are no legendaries and GBX is going to implement gear sets for their future tournaments

Not only are legendaries banned, but you can draft around the characters you think are OP! You canāt be truly competitive without respecting the meta though. You have to respect it, understand it, and analyze it to best get how to draft around it, use it to your advantage, and maybe even advance it.

I can respect a lot of the meta, just not the part where itāsā¦ well, Iāve already mentioned that.
Oh yes, I know legos are banned in the update, I just meant in those really schweaty matches that go on in-game.
**NocTurnaL GamingPS4 TEAMWe literally picked up the game roughly a week prior to the online qualifier. We had a roster change, for battleborn, some time around 02/19/2017. I, the captian, have a lot of competitive experience from the cod series. Iām really proud of my teamās performance towards the end of the event, we look forward to continuing the competitive scene with BB. I want/hope battleborn to become as competitive as other top competitive games. You guys havenāt witnessed the last of the NocTurnaL Gamersā¦also, Let me just say that I was unaware of how ābrokenā the game isā¦ (yeah Iām talking about isic glitching, from LH, in our incursion match in the finals for losers bracketā¦ Glitches are normally banned in competitive playā¦ But whatever it was fun)
Side note: Skulk Squad, I loved the cosplay <3

Backdooring isnāt glitching. And itās not specific to ISIC.

All incursion maps have 3-4 ways to attack the sentry.
Overgrow: minion path, sniper perch, tunel and double thrall (usually needs a kind of movement ability to reach)
Monument: minion path, stairs close to the thrall camp and the sniper perch (movement skill to get ther or use the wall from the stairs)
Echelon: this map only has 2 ways but anyone with a movement skill can get behind lines easy going through the double thrall path.

It was only a half serious comment, I definitely see where youāre coming from with that.
Good thing actual comp matches have rules

No, go back and watch the replay of the last series of N.G vs L.H // towards the end of the incursion match, isic teleports to the top of the mid-window in overgrowth. Even the casters called it. Itās not where he backdoors like melka, he gets on top of the map where the mid-window sniper area is locatedā¦ // That incursion match would have turned out different if it wasnāt for that glitch. At least we know about it now. (: if any of you would like to play with me sometime, go ahead and add āSilent-_-Waveā on ps4(: we can play over the weekend since the majority of my team works throughout the week and we have to face reality lol
thats not a glitch, its one of his skills 
phoebe can teleport as well, and benedict, mellka and some others can get up there too. itās a legitimate reason to pick those characters on that map.
@dantesolar the third path is the single thrall on echelon for the second sentry, obvs not the first.

Yeah but is wierd it doesnt have a 3-4 path for the firstā¦ I guess thats why is soā¦ Un protected the second one
Regardless of who can get up there. A wall barrier needs to be placed because it defies the purpose of having the minion path or the doorway in that sniper area. I only say this for competitive purposes. The maps need to become balanced as well as the characters. Though, I donāt know how big of a competitive game gearbox is wanting this game to beā¦ But with variables such as this oneā¦ I donāt think too many people are willing to touch this game competitively. Iām sure one can counter that āstrategyā with Ghalt or Shayne&Aurox. But what happens when those two are banned o_O I only bring this up because I remember a caster mentioned adding a wall barrier to where Ernest canāt shoot over the walls towards the sentry, this happened during our match against Skulk. So why not add wall barriers to where characters canāt get on top of the map.
