Envoy blows minds by revealing that he plays with headset backwards Call of Duty LeagueDylan \u2018Envoy\u2019 Hannon is a star Call of Duty League player for the Chicago Huntsmen and, as it turns out, an audiophile iconoclast\u2014as discovered during the CDL\u2019s Seattle Surge Home Series. Gamers are no strangers to inverted controls, as every game allows for options that suit certain players\u2019 personal preferences. Early FPS titles like Goldeneye and Medal of Honor utilized an inverted Y-Axis, and those habits persist for a minority of gamers today. But it appears that Envoy has taken inverted to a whole new level, as his peer, the Dallas Empire\u2019s James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks discovered while watching the CDL tournament on May 23: The Huntsmen star apparently plays Call of Duty with his headset on backwards\u2014hearing things on his right in-game through his left ear in real life. Does this dude @DylanEnvoy have his Astros on backwards? LMAOOOO pic.twitter.com\/BcLiOo20r6 \u2014 Clayster (@Clayster) May 23, 2020 This information is new to much of the CoD community and, understandably, pretty shocking. When you\u2019re approaching Envoy from the right, his left ear registers those footsteps but his brain understands that the movement is on his right side. It\u2019s a psychological masterpiece, a testament to the human brain\u2019s habituation. In response to Clayster, he explained the history of this bizarre habit: \u201cDude, I never knew I was wearing my headset backwards when I was a child and ever since I started com I just had to wear it that way \u2018cause I can\u2019t get used to the normal way.\u201d dude I never knew I was wearing my headset backwards when I was a child and ever since I started comp I just had to wear it that way cause i cant get used to the normal way. Worst part is that on some PC games like CS I have to wear the normal way idgi tbh \u2014 Envoy (@DylanEnvoy) May 23, 2020 Making things even more confusing, it appears that there are certain games in which he does not have this proclivity toward inverted audio\u2014as he mentions that he has to wear his headset \u201cthe normal way\u201d when playing PC titles like Counter Strike. While this information is new to much of the CoD scene, it\u2019s long been known by Envoy\u2019s teammates and fans, to the extent that his Twitch stream even features a \u201c!headsetstory\u201d command that will prompt Nightbot to explain that his brain has simply \u201cadjusted to inverted audio\u201d and that the professional beamer is just \u201cweird.\u201d Many might wonder how cracked Envoy\u2019s gameplay could be if he switched to wearing his headset the normal way. But the Huntsmen are 12-4 overall and 2-0 in the Seattle series thus far, so fans will probably just want to trust his brain for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
