    Of course it's a sport. Don't be absurd. I was more of mocking badminton as a sport and not implying that it wasn't a sport. Surprised so many missed that.

    You can't really compare the two games to one another. The only similarity is the both the shuttlecock and tennis ball need to be hit over a net. After that it stops. Have you ever played Tennis? It takes an entirely different skill set. Both are physically demanding but in much different ways. Badminton = speed while Tennis requires speed + muscle strength. Do you disagree? One last thing on that subject. The speed of the shuttlecock is deeply affected by any wind whatsoever. While the shuttlecock does fly faster, it also loses that speed or energy quickly.

    "Esport" is not legit (again that is my opinion) and there are good reasons why it didn't make it into the 2020 Olympics and not just the stigma attached to the industry. Will it one day get in? Probably as crazier things have happened. Should it? Not in my opinion.

    Badminton is generally played indoors

    The team in shanghai has the professional equipment as a basic TV station which u can see from stream
    They have about 10 classes streaming online but u can only see two of em without certain software
    Don't tell me they have more cosplayers?

    Anyway they are stacking rogues.

    They have a small advantage, Midwinter-US is probably the top guild with the biggest disadvantage tho as they are Alliance-West (No ilvl and no troll racials )

    Actually Chinese guilds only have disadvantages. The avg gear lvl difference between Paragons and Stars is around +6, but the damage and health increases of the boss are still +8%

    That could just point to the fact that those guilds didn't do as many stacked alt runs in week one to funnel gear to their mains.

    6 iLvls is more than 8% damage for a lot of classes.

    however for healers, sometimes when boss has 8% more damage, some Tanks and DPSes will die instantly since +6 iLvls will not give DPSes 8% more health to survive. at that moment, even if healers have iLvls advantages, they can not heal dead people. That's the problem.

    BOSS is not the deadman!

    Still not the same race - Might as well be +4 ilevels and 15% for bosses, it's still nowhere near the same thing so whether something is more challenging or not is completely irrelevant.

    indeed. As no one could prove that either side has the advantages, I would consider all four 25H guilds are facing same difficulties.

    Possible lag depends on your connecting speed.
