The match between holy and alumni/gg was close (2-1). Didn’t think holy would win a round against them, but they got one. I say they, because it was pretty much a 4v5. I practiced for maybe 1-2 hours, 2 days before gst. If I got 5 hits in a round vs them it would be too much. Did terrible in early matchups as well. Holy would have probably beaten alumni, had I not been there.
As for merging gsts, this shouldn’t be done. It’s not even about strafing. Keyboards let players move around with more accuracy. Any idev who switches to pc is always going to be better. I can list my experience, but just look at the best example. When prime switched to pc, he finally beat alumni. He was one of the top idev sparrers too, but never won in mixed, until he did gst on a pc.
