There was competive insurgency. It was called DGL ( Digital Gaming League). The DGL in there top divisions had easily the best players by a massive margin. I talking real aim trainer, config writing swets (I would know I was one). I played seasons 9-11 of Insurgency source.
i know they did some firefight stuff on Sandstorm but I never liked that mode tbh and it was just 5v5. Always good to see leagues be built like that tho within the community! (Edit: found out they sadly shut down the DGL league last year :( )
@@FlyingFinns45 why ? The 5v5 scene was pretty big. It's still alive gut struggling alot since DGL died. We had leagues, tournaments etc. I remember playing pugs for 4 hours a day toll I became on of the best players in the world. To really get into 5v5 and succeed you needed to perfect everything in your team. Scrim multiple times a week to keep up etc.
tbh theres alot less toxicity in insurgency comp. than in every other comp shooter like cs or valorant ive played. I still play comp firefight with insurgency's comp community and ppl there are just more grown, frendly and just want to have a good time.
@@n8wolf575 it's cuz PUG and community comp games (insurgency, tf2, smash melee, etc) are grassroots and relatively small. When people play pugs on discord, they can't be that toxic cuz word spreads around the community that you're a PoS and teams won't want to roster you, you'll see that player you mald at often in pugs and scrims, and you risk getting banned by admins or mods. Also the psyschological factor I guess of being in a more tight knit community, so you see the randoms you're playing pugs with more as people and less as human scum.
@@Junya01 we had to stick together to make anything happen at all. It was a lot of work for every single event/tournament whatever to make it happen. Had ups and downs but overall some good years. I abandoned it though there was no point anymore for me.
It was so much fun playing against you in this tournament, both teams did great, my team lost... We will make sure to include you in the events to come. Also thank you NWI and the devs who participated.
@@VonBraun1493 I don't recall saying. I think they'll add competitive. I gave no inclination as to my personal thoughts. I have no idea what NWI plan to do.
thanks to sandstorm I learned to play much more tactically and I learned to be very patient even in moments of mass shootings that has helped me choose the best option and get out alive I owe a lot to sandstorm it's just a beautiful and super fun game Almost 500 hours of play and I don't regret anything insurgency sandstorm i love it ❤️
The only thing you'll regret is that many other shooters will feel silly, dull and cluster spamm you with information, killfeed, hitmarkers, hitsounds... you just wish y could turn all off but then y decide to just play insurgency again 😅
This is how you play after lvl 1000, that is Meta. You will prevent ebemy from entering the objective in order to defend it, you will do the same eventually
idk about push being used as the competitive mode. I understand it is sandstorm's poster mode but i feel like it would've been cooler if the matches were ambush
Well, this isn't like "pro" comp. It's more like organized pick up w/ the best Push players in NA. Push is definitely the mode that best fits and captures the design of Sandstorm.
Played competitive Push for the first time in this event, gotta say, was a very refreshing experience, since it's very similar to normal Push, but people actually know what they're doing. Too bad the Farmhouse group photo didn't make it into the thumbnail tho :D
How times changed from insurgency gym, sgc, DGl. I wish we had more backing from the devs like back then. They really gave up on the competitive scene. I remember in source they were present during comps and were happy the ranked community kept source alive now they just want to give out more content without giving the game a more mid to end game progression such as ranked gameplay and things you unlock when you hit a certain rank or level or even a certain kill. All updates are just weapons, skins and maps. They need to switch it up or more people will stop playing and as my favorite fps that would suck
Shit, I remember i was apart of starting realism leagues back on day of infamy and the devs wanted to work with us on creating a realism/competitive mode. Then one day they got silent and never bothered going through with it.
Nothing worse than playing this with COD lone noobs and zero call outs. This game is easy with my military veteran squad who know where the dominant corners are and areas of responsibility exist.
How was there a round where no one was commander. Usually play as Observer as so annoying when no one will play commander! You are so much better at this game than me 😂
There is kinda but like this is just for fun the most you’ll get for winning is a dlc code but these tournaments are hella fun I’ve only played one but none recently bc of internet issues and my job but they are hella fun regardless of winning or losing
There still is. But its managed by the community (like the SCG events, insurgency Community league or Sandstorm PUG lounge) on seperate discords and servers (bc official comp matchmaking was shit and nwi rather shut it down that to fix it..) just join, follow the rules be nice and have fun.
Love to see this dude on console and miss every shot. Pc players make this shit look easy but i guarantee on console you do none of that. All you streamers NEVER have any recoil which makes no senes in a game that has massive recoil on every gun except like 3. Shit is shady as hell and i am willing to bet you cheat.
Finally so glad u got in on one of these wish I could play in another but internet at my new place is somehow even worse than it was at my old place but comp sandstorm is so enjoyable and a big difference from the usual match making dropping constant 50-70 kill games a lot of people just think all the SGC is toxic but it’s all just parta the game and is not meant to be taken literally
I’ve played a lot of times with SunWarrior and IronTaint before, they are really good players, but their toxicity is just ☢️☣️💀 (I guess you must be toxic to be good at the game lol)
Iron is the nicest guy, so if he was being toxic to you, you probably want to look in the mirror. Sun IS intense and can be harsh, but typically saves it for people being toxic to him or really bad/dumb teammates. Not that that makes it OK, but he's not just toxic for the sake of it.
@@touchgrasstryhard8604 My English isn’t that good, I used the term “toxic” incorrectly, what I’m saying is their tactics and play style is very toxic for the enemy team, not with teammates. They are all nice people
Toxicity is usually just our jokes we like to play mind games with people and gettin in someone’s head with insults really makes it even more enjoyable
Best players in world, ehmm ok. No Synter, no Krill, no Titler, no RT, no Kaldw1n or Waddles. Shame that our discord couldn't gather to combat Iruban, there is a big difference in timezones. Our battle would be legendary if you keep in mind that we play competetive 8x8 for more than 8 months, and we play mostly against each other. Also game is kinda turning to a hot pile of garbage so online is getting worse
We are Vecherka, russian speaking eu and ru community. We have players from Russia, Ukraine,Latvia, Israel, Estonia, Germany. We would gladly play 8x8 in some rainy sunday.
Hey Gibs…. i was in a online domination match and was playing with a “team moderator” and the guy thought i was cheating because i was having one of those crazy games… either way it said the DEVELOPER of the game banned me and i made a ticked and they said i broke TOS and idea what i can do… :/
@@Math_Yeww i wasnt cheating at all it was a domination match and i was sitting on top of a building and i went 12-0 and by the end of the game i was 45-12 and the guy was like “you better watch what your doing buddy i’m a moderator of the team” and like i just kept playing lmao i didn’t think i’d get banned for killing a mod…
@@pastorlul2384 i’m just wondering if he knows what to do… never seen a game where if a moderator playing the game thinks your cheating can just game ban you🤣

Ngl, source engine competitive leagues hit different. Was always fun on css, dods, and even day of infamy.
Competitive Insurgency makes me feel like it's just regular Insurgency but with Chernobyl levels of toxic

@@JeoDestra I never did the same after 1800hrs in source, I remember uninstalling because of non stop spawn camping and HE mortars

Just hoping for the day a bomb site game mode gets added in by modders.
MORE LIKE THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE AIMBOT AND DONT HAVE TO AIM
RATTPACK !
This looks awesome. If they had a bomb game mode like siege that would be amazing
ever heard of ambush?
@@10thgenAj I agree ambush is a great option. guess I would like to see 5v5 insurgency on smaller maps. the gunplay deserves it
@@spyspy4236 yea I agree that's what it deserves
@@spyspy4236 That was firefight comp, it's still a thing
I was listing to Roy Ayers - In the Sunshine before clicking this video. That first song threw me for a loop.
More of this please king. Think some post match tactical commentary analysing team strats could be good content too
idk about push being used as the competitive mode. I understand it is sandstorm's poster mode but i feel like it would've been cooler if the matches were ambush
maybe one day who knows! Would love to see some comp players in a lobby facing off like that.
Or just classic Firefight

@@touchgrasstryhard8604 push literally plays like dog shit, frontline is the best game mode period.

PvP is so shit without a Team, all most do with Mics is goof around while the other team is effectively destroying us

It's because insurgency is a casual game. It will never make a good comp game and that isn't the player base it attracts.
Wow this is fucking cool. I was wondering if this was even a thing in Insurgency.
Ayo who’s got a count on highest amount of kills on Ambush and ambush only (21 for me)
I don't remember
Nothing worse than playing this with COD lone noobs and zero call outs. This game is easy with my military veteran squad who know where the dominant corners are and areas of responsibility exist.
There is also a competitive mode in this game that's called "Not with my aimbot challenge".
It's a freaking gd game
do you have a famas class set up? what’re the best guns in the game?
Famas and vhs if you can aim and control recoil. Fire rate is always king in games with this low TTK.
so its ok to use demo class ?
XCIDRXNGER))) Like)
this looks fun. Do you know if there are any pugs run in oce or asia? Also how many players per team is there
I hope they being ranked to console idk I feel like it was be a really interesting and new feeling
im hooked on coop .

I think I've been killed by smkndrtz more than any other player in my years playing this game.
Having PiP for scopes should have been the rule in my opinion
Is this sandstorm on console? I’ve never seen this map
It's cute you gave the text edits Serif font, to honour comp 🎖
my name is shturman in the game. will I be able to join that competitive? LOL. I play everyday. level 1300..
It’s a friendly scene, I’m sure you would be welcome. They have a discord where they play, just join and get involved dude. It’s hella fun :)
I miss the SGC vs DGL Push event we did, that was fun to break up the 5v5 monotony.
Love that you like Logic and love you ;)
man this game has a niche only it could have filled with comp.
Awww man he killed captain price and Gaz right in the beginning lol
This game is amazing on ps5 and series x I wish they out more love on the consoles
How was there a round where no one was commander. Usually play as Observer as so annoying when no one will play commander!
You are so much better at this game than me 😂
At this level both teams have a commander/observer, if not 2 sets.
I assume these events are On PC only
is there gonna be a scene in sandstorm?
