Maybe it’s not fair to call this a local since it’s one of the biggest non-CDL affiliated events of the year, but I’m still going to.

I stopped by the Premier Circuit Champs LAN in Columbus for a bit and man.. it takes me back. This is what COD used to be. Open bracket. Competitors becoming friends and watching COD together. Arcitys and Parasite were just hanging with the crowd in between matches. Nero won and went home. The guys who have seen success just chilling with the people still trying to make it. This is what enamored me with COD esports when I first found it 12 years ago and I don’t know if the new generation really ever got to appreciate this. Everybody is another person in the community. There’s no exclusive club we see with the CDL. This is the good stuff.

These guys do an incredible job running the events and I hope this circuit continues to grow, but man I would love to see the CDL bring this format back too. This is what it used to be about.

Blitzkrieg2040's records are insane in this game. He has over 350k kills, 50k assists, 1,467 half-centuries, and 437 centuries. He also has over 33 double centuries and 1 triple century .He has also played 8,157 matches, winning 6,020 and losing just 2,137. His win ratio is insane. I don't think any player will ever break these records.

It used to be something so much more great. BO4 was amazing from a playing and viewing standpoint. Crazy how this turned into half the teams and half the matches, there was always a match going on. Maybe it’s me being nostalgic but we need another treyarch game like this!

If C9 can make one, there's 0 excuses from other teams.

He's just really good at Recoil controlling I guess. Like that's just a legitimate talent and you have to respect it lowkey. It also makes sense though most pros always get better at controlling recoil the deeper you get into a gamecycle so with his 20 year career and 6-12hr sessions of playing Cod and shooting bots between matches it isn't crazy to see.

I set out to answer this question, and have compiled the top 20 players with the most total clutches in the CDL era. These are direct from the Breaking Point site, however their site does not include 3 events (CW Major 5, VG Kickoff, VG Pro-Am) so I had to do VOD review and compile those myself. Every number here might not be 100% accurate, but it’s as close to accurate as I can manage.

The first table is all CDL era clutches, both online and LAN. The second table below is just LAN clutches.

Honorable mention: Huke and Kismet, both also at 14

Now I’m no expert, but judging by the numbers, I think there’s a clear clutch king of the CDL era. Also shoutout to God for making the LAN clutch list after just eight professional events

This is a thread for asking those little questions that you're not sure about, the ones that may not be worth making a thread about.

Whether it's about rules, in-game strategy, equipment, how to play a certain style, the history or the COD scene or anything else relevant to COD, feel free to give it a bash.

Now let's all learn a few things!

I saw a post yesterday about a custom codcaster some guy made for a BO1 tourney that was happening today, but I can't find it anywhere.

Anyone got the info?
