Re: ALGS teams datamining the game
A SUS tweet from one of the Apex devs, Oscar Aguirre. https://twitter.com/oscreat/status/1597449934076542977?s=46&t=98RQkxmlrbWxJwOAY_w6FA

@Cheese9Man I'm not sure what a sus tweet is, but I've marked 2 end circles in ranked from the last few days, that show both overlap with the read markings on the map and no overlap.
Yet another pro-drama where I could not care less.
I mean, SURE, you know, Respawn should work on making their pro-games as interesting as possible from a competitive standpoint, but it's pretty obvious that it involves a lot of making the game less fun for the majority of their player base (and money). Like, sorry, if it was a battle inside a cave or atop a building, that would be actually entertaining every once in a while.
But GOD FORBID, a PRO PASSES A BRICK over it! Holy Hell, quick! Nerf it! Delete it! Change it!
Seriously, people wonder why Apex took a hit in popularity, but don't admit the error Respawn. You fix those Gold Shield problems.Whatever, this game isn't that on top of things anymore. The circle thing is sort of like, oh, yeah, of course, that's a big issue for Respawn :P
- @OldTreeCreeper Showing the OTC. “Sus” or suspicious is a commonly used term in the game Among Us. The character’s shape is the red thing spread on the map.
Basically it was a joke. LOL. Did anyone check out the conference that was had on this? It was like seeing a scientist try to explain something complicated to a bunch of suits in a boardroom. The methodology seems ways beyond what most of the players can understand.
- @pandareno1999 It didn't look that complex to me. They pull coordinates out are exclusion zones and then create an algorithm that puts them on a map.
- @Cheese9Man After listening to Sweets recorded discord I've swung the other way. This is a big deal. Every update has zone changes. Ive noticed them changing just watching algs. Normally you would need to play to figure them out and if only given a couple weeks with the current state of ranked it would be impossible. Mining it gives it instantly.
Oh and Raven basically ratted himself out and now we know why tsm is suddenly in all the right spots. @hayhor You think the average Apex pro understands how algorithms work, unless it's related to twitch or YT views??? LOL
- @pandareno1999 No they hire people that do. Sweet said it best. If it isn't your zone it's probably a 5 to 10% advantage. If it is your zone and your zone has only one real ending that percentage rises.
Then you have to think about the rest of the stuff that is likely mined and used. Which POIs never ever have beacons or crafters. Which POIs have the most likelihood to spawn them. And which spawn 2 mats vs 3 or 4. All of this comes into play now.
