NYCFC eSports

There is nothing dumber to you, but there are a lot of people interested in these video game tournaments. I'm not one of them, but it's a rapidly growing market, and the team was smart to jump into it as quickly as they did.

Do we have a Fortnight team? Or a Cannabis sponsor?

Says the man posting on an internet forum

Irony not lost on me. But I'm not pretending to play the game on a computer screen

I'm sure we will as soon as the state govt gets their act together.

Is there a something illegal about fortnight I wasn’t aware of?

I think a highlight of NYC_Chris winning was that an NYCFC player won the event, and the Red Bulls player who didn't make the competition was a commentator for the event. LOL!

Play by play, color commentator, Jimmy Conrad hosted, analysts, interviewers. It's a whole production they put on.

“Suspended in response to encouraging experienced players to avoid match-making at the same time as the player to gain a competitive advantage.”

So he was trying to play less skilled players in order to inflate his record?

was just about to post it. Seems he told his buddies who where high ranked like him, not so try to set up a game while he was, so he could play lower ranked players and build up his stats.

Basically. When they play weekend league and events a lot of the players on are high skilled liked him and the player pool is smaller at that level. So they were allegedly using Discord to communicate when to search for matches so they weren’t searching at the same time and playing each other. I don’t think it’s much of an advantage but it does break the rules. Honestly I’m sure this is a common thing on Fifa, just the first time I’ve heard of someone getting caught. Someone snitched.

The other guy got banned permanently because he spit on a EA logo during a stream.

 

[adam]

Will NYCFC keep him now or cut him? Does this affect any previous trophies he’s won? Just more offseason controversy. Can’t we have any good news for this franchise?

 

[LionNYC]

Seems like bullshit to me.
