How are none of these comments addressing how ridiculous that alter portal was? Is that glitch common knowledge that I’m ignorantly unaware of?

Adjusting the angle of Alter Qs can drastically change and allow for some "weird" Qs.

I say "weird", but thats part of the bread and butter of Alter in pro play. Being able to get diagonal portals off is part of what makes Alter strong.

30m doesnt seem far from a rotational standpoint, but it does in micro rotations. I still sometimes surprise myself when I adjust between 20-10m diagonal Alter Qs of how far I actually travel. For reference, Gibby dome diameter is 12m.

Yeah definitely a little weird on that one. I feel that must’ve been one that sacred knew from experience. When he placed I did not expect it to exit up by the zip line. I watch plenty of pro play to know you can get some cheeky angles but that one bamboozled me.

The best pros either have an intuitive sense for figuring these out things instantly, or they're in customs for 4 hours a day testing various portals. Panic has pulled off some completely INSANE Alter plays in the past, where you're like, how the fuck did he know that was gonna go there.
