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.

[@MGE-Gibs]

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]

Competive mode should be Frontline and nothing more.

[@n8wolf575]

@@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.

[@yuval5628]

DGL was run by weirdos, that was its downfall.

Competitive Insurgency makes me feel like it's just regular Insurgency but with Chernobyl levels of toxic

[@Frudu]

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]

@@Frudu totally agree, 99% percent of the competitive players in INSS are actually really nice guys. Gruß WLTRMWOLF :D

[@Junya01]

@@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.

[@n8wolf575]

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 ❤️

[@Frudu]

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 😅

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

[@ianrodriguez4463]

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

[@VonBraun1493]

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.

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.
