> Unless you know them both personally you can't really judge if personality's will clash.

Its speculation, which is why i said it was my opinion.

> I also disagree that chemistry is more important then skill. You can have all the chemistry in the world but if your not a skilled team you just won't win, period.

Yes, skill is required. Obviously. But having tons of skill isnt that big of a deal if you cant play as a team in a team game. I recommend watching this video. It will give you more insight to my point of view, mostly because I dont feel like typing out a novel to you. Also, if want to learn even more I would highly recommend reading this book by John Wooden and Jay Carter. Extremely good read and very informative.

> There have been a lot of championship teams that where loaded with skill but didn't get along outside the game but they still won based on skill.

Like who? All the teams that have won majors so far had good chemistry at the time. If you dont believe or simply dont want to, go look at the interviews of the players around those timeframes.

> Look at the 2015 Fnatic they hated each other

No, they didnt. They did in 2016, hence the Godsent split.

> the 2014-2015 French teams didn't get along they still won plenty

The french teams that won majors (championships) got along well. Afterwards, maybe not so much.

> Even in NA a team with EliGE had success even though the whole team thought S1mple was Toxic

They did have success, but they didnt win. I would blame that on their chemistry. Elige and s1mple are extremely skilled but still didnt win. s1mple made several dumb individual plays that cost liquid many rounds.

Yea that's why, I always suggest staying away from turtle beach/gaming headphones but if you enjoy them then there's no reason to not get them. I always suggest a headphone +modmic combo. I always suggest Ath M50x plus the modmic, and if you do end up getting them it's always good to get this Sabrent if you don't have a sound card, it's needed for the mod mic to reduce the interference from your mobo, and has a chance to make headphones sound even better. In the end it's up to you, but I have a feeling you will enjoy this combo. And if you ever do end up playing on console, you can pick up an Astro mix amp and listen to console and PC at the same time.

Know you wanted an optic one but if it's giving you issues, this is the best mousepad I've ever owned. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001O867XG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_I-4pybG7KBK0C

The OG book has some good perspective (mostly Hecz's, specifically) on how Hecz and OG balance content creation and competitive prowess in the same organization, for the mutual benefit of each team or group of teams. I haven't seen this Hitch clip (could someone link it for me?) but my guess is he only gave a small part of the bigger story, and understanding said bigger story would rub you more of the right way, especially if you're the kind of fan who looks forward to watching the whole OG organization grow and succeed.

edit: found Hitch's announcement

I wouldnt recommed a 2 in 1 set. this is the one that I would reccommend. If you are serious about starting a collection this would be the safest turntable to buy. I know that it is expensive, but collecting vinyl's is a pretty expensive hobby. This turntable has an aux input so I am sure that you have a speaker in the house somewhere that you could plug it into.

Edit: For the speakers, you could literally buy a pair of computer speakers with a sub and that would work really well.

Why don't you just buy this and get switches that you like instead of trying to replicate someone else's setup?

Also consider going with any number of brands using CherryMX switches. Razer is not the be-all and end-all. You have several options at that price point for a tenkeyless keyboard without having to use a "game-ified" typeface on the keys themselves.

The following is a well-written article by a reputable website about Razer and their "award-winning, universally lauded, industry best" switches.

I use this one. Below your price range but I think it's pretty damn good for Cod and PC.

They’re called Nanoleaf I’m pretty sure.

pretty pricey though

took about 30 secod to find them because they look like aviation headsets so not that hard of a find. https://www.amazon.com/David-Clark-H10-30-Aviation-Headset/dp/B001MX0FC2

EDIT: Not exactly the same model that some of the Outlaws guys use but definitely done by the same company.

If you are really interested and you like to read, there's the OpTic Gaming book, it covers the history of the org and the general idea behind it pretty well.
Amazon link but available in other places too
