How I won the FIRST BIG Deadlock tournament (10,000$)

[@alexg32ndbiggestfan]

crazy how its already practically an esport and its not even technically out yet

[@piggyxdd]

Yep its actually crazy and im happy to be apart of it this early

[@Zarzar22]

Love these things because we will watch it again in 4 years and be like, "this is such suboptimal terrible play." I love the infant stages of an esport as people try to figure out how it all works

[@piggyxdd]

I was legit thinking about the same😅

@@piggyxdd already hard countering the abram melee build with parries , abram is overhype

[@user-vl5qg5rf4n]

@@roguethemachine3928 Better players are going for kinetic dash over melee charge already. I personally still think melee charge is fine as long as you're mostly using it to reload. Another avenue to consider is that Shoulder charge -> heavy melee is a true combo so long as you instantly charge heavy melee the moment the shoulder charge is over. however this combo can be countered by buying debuff reducer in which case you will always be able to get the parry off anyways (which most people don't know about or do). Ultimately Abrams massive gun dps is what makes him good, not some melee build anyways. I've gotten in the habit of doing the charge into melee combo early and then once my 2 is maxed (which I always max first usually with a skill build something like 0-5-1-1) I just take the free headshots and if they are still panic parrying then you get 2 extra free headshots from the combo and can basically instakill anyone who is alone and doesn't have some type of defense.

[@paperbeater8938]

​@user-vl5qg5rf4n I've been playing Abrams a lot (I'm very average at the game), and the best strat I've found is if the enemy team doesn't know how to parry, free pickings, if they do know how to parry try to see if you can bait the parrys out. If you can't, gun build. Something to note is that it only takes one player on the enemy team not knowing how to parry to quite literally leech off of them in a team fight.

Congrats my king, awesome to see you thriving elsewhere. Not as much into deadlock but cool seeing you take some crazy Ws. Luv

Can't wait to play and stream this game man. After hearing doublelift talking briefly about it and seeing all the hype, i'm so ready to get in. And sick dub btw, must be exciting.

[@CHIPICHIPICHAPACHAAPA]

deadlock is a lotta fun, im glad its getting the recognition. tournaments already in alpha is crazy, cant wait for new maps and heroes, especially Vana the cat lady and theres supposed to be a ''music'' type hero which hopefully is gonna be similar hero to dynamo with support and cc abilities :3

[@andrewadams530]

while I do think it's cool to hear your in game coms. I think it would actually be a more interesting video if you took the games and analyzed them, what are you doing why, what are you thinking. I thought it was really good you knew because they were low that they bought healing rite and then you canceled it in the first game early on that applied a lot of pressure. Things like that I think would be cool to hear you talk about. And then later in the team fights, break down your thought process, who you're focusing and why, all that kind of stuff. Anyway, if you have to time to do something like that I think a lot of people would watch.

[@kenithy]

This is a comp diff if I have ever seen one. I wonder what the pick bans strategies were like

[@erikbrockamp5492]

Awesome video Piggy! Really cool to see some action from support heroes. Most of what I have seen from higher ranked players is things like Haze, Wraith, etc.

[@ELGROMP]

MO AND KRILL ARE SO FUN glad to see you catching dubs on another game man love the videos

[@piggyxdd]

tysm!

[@AuraXars]

been loving deadlock so far, would love to hear more about how the get the most out of Moe! What items you'd get every game no matter what(core) and what are situational / Lux items :)

[@baxle_b]

holy! I never would have thought my fav finals creator would also be playing deadlock :) very happy to see

[@JStack]

I really hope full release provides a better matchmaking experience. Right now it’s running into the same problems all MOBAs have where new players have no way to enjoy the game. I’ve played too much CS and DOTA so I’m fine, but everyone I’ve showed the game to who didn’t play either gets turned away in a couple hours or less and hasn’t hopped back on. Out of 48 games 3 were close. If you’re new watching your team win while you browse shop or you lose without getting a deny why would you even play a second game lol

[@jeromethy]

top tier support kelvin plays

[@yivo9996]

I'd be laughing like that too if I rolled a 10k tournament

[@jboyle24]

[@Vaaaaadim]

Why is blue lane oddly bright?

[@LilPiga]

Love to see on this game Piggy, also a question what i see MikaelS also doing is holding alt and left clicking the skill to level it. Whilst u can do alt + the number of the skill to level it and i find it way faster. Is there a reason why you're left clicking it over just doing alt + number?

[@Jonny_Rhombus]

I do it too. I don’t want to misclick and get flustered trying to fix it. No benefit either way.

[@piggyxdd]

There was a bug in early alpha where you couldnt level skills with the keyboard so i got used to it.

[@LilPiga]

@@piggyxdd Ooh I wasn't aware thank you, perhaps it would be good to learn again? I've noticed myself that during fights when you earn souls and thus AP you can maybe level an ability mid battle, had a fight completely 180 when i got lvl 3 bebop ult mid fight. Plus it takes less time and u don't have to look where to click. Idunno

[@ainoakeisari]

Do you use def binds?

[@haydenking4080]

How do you get your graphics that low, is it just lowest render resolution possible or are there console/config settings you can edit? I have a decent pc but this game doesn't run very well atm so any fps I can get would be huge

How does one go about entering tournaments? I see some people saying they know their MMR, is there an actual way to tell what it is?

There isn't and MMR tracking has been impossible to do for over a week now. Most people saying they're 0.01% are just clickbaiting.
