this is correct, but i blame the covid brainrot for this more. my attention span is completely shot unless i'm actively doing something with my hands (ie playing games or cooking). i could have the best book in the world in my hands and i'd still probably get bored... i'm working on it :<

TGRD 3-1 MxM. I love MxM but their run of form ends here

(hopefully i am proven wrong though)

i disagree somewhat -- i think sage's slows are actually balanced, just not used correctly 99% of the time (i say this as a mediocre sage player). also making noise while slow walking in a slow orb might not be good -- it would either force a player to stand still completely (bad) or give away their location in clutch situations (also bad). wouldn't hurt to try it out though

MxM 2-0, but it won't be the first time these teams face each other in the playoffs

i've been saying this since it was announced!

30 self heal doesn't even let you tank one more rifle body shot if you're below 10 health. you either use it and pray you survive until another heal or you have to use it on a teammate and be 1hp all round :<

what douradoxp suggested is basically what i've been asking -- i've been saying increase to 40, but 45 is essentially the same

483, i was silver 3 that game (ranked). i'm ascendant 1 now

lowest was like 30 i think

faze frogs downvoting me like they didn't just get demolished lmao

i use GX on my home computer. unironically i think it's great. i don't use the built-in vpn and adblocker because those are pretty shit, but the rest has been good and more stuff has been added in little by little and has made it more enjoyable

arcade: great guns, shit knife

magepunk 3: shit guns, great knife

unfortunate

two of my exes were absolutely obsessed with it. i never liked it :/

yeah i don't dislike most EU posters. UK people are just more annoying than brazil/turkey posters

UK

i haven't sat down and read a physical book since high school Sadge

today i was reminded my memory is just total shit

wait, weren't these players MxM.R? did lud drop the team that quickly???

edit: nvm i just remembered ludwig was only supporting them as they looked for another team. major W

Guard 2-1

13-7
11-13
13-5

SR 2-1 G2

at least three of the G2 players leave the team after this match

00 Nation will make it to ascension, but it won't be from this game.

UNI 2-1 00, and then 00 will make it back into the grand final to seal their place in ascension

edit: unfortunate. i still think 00 will make the grand finals, but for now it seems the Union is top dog

to answer your question about why pride month is in june, it's because that was the month the Stonewall Riot happened

for some light context, the Stonewall Inn was a gay bar in NYC that was unwarrantedly raided by NYPD and the clashes with the patrons led to a big riot. for most LGBTQ+ folks it marks the real start of the gay rights movement since it was the first real pushback against the systematic oppression LGBTQ+ people faced from American society at the time

i love seeing more LGBTQ+ rep, but this is just a fast track to getting harassed on this anonymous online forum

now that chamber's trash i wouldn't mind seeing the map again. i hated it because attacking into double op was fucking awful and as a viper player i couldn't do shit if my duelists couldn't counter them apart from adjust my wall and hope for the best. plus with reyna's infinite range eye, gekko, and harbor it's probably more manageable even if double op is still run

from what i see it's how they perform as a duo. their individual talent may not be the best, but combine the two and they're terrifying to play against because they're always in sync

FNC, because i hated it in CSGO, so I hateit here, too. The players are fine though, I just get an adverse reaction whenever I see that logo anywhere

the sauce-tender combo is a drug more addictive than crack

penny is a duelist player, but the role conflict is crazy. he's gotta go for his own sake

him and penny, honestly. both are strong jett players, but oxy is held back by the team and penny is stuck on an agent he's not good at because of oxy

edit: i just saw the match stats lmao. i still think oxy can be very good, but he needs a better team and someone to discipline him

i guess i should've clarified immediately, that's on me. she's innocent in that she was just hired and should've just been let alone, but she stooped low enough to mention rain's OD scare as an attempt at a clapback

edit: this isn't me defending rain. frankly, i don't care about this drama, it's just all over my twitter

she's not entirely innocent, either. but yeah, there are no winners here, just pointless drama after pointless drama

as much as i wanna be proven wrong, i don't think that'll be happening this time

i was never a g2 fan -- if you look at my history i was a consistent doubter, and i ended up right

they lost the moment they challenged verno. that lockdown wasn't gonna do shit. what would he have done, fight them 1v4 to defend his own lockdown? lmao

it's time to wake up unfortunately.

0-5 for the entire split and they were "saving strats"? y'all really thought they'd still win these playoffs and even ascension??? i knew it'd end up like this and y'all wouldn't listen. not surprised, still disappointed

wp on them, hope they perform well

now, i'm on the 00 train\

(also based COL flag + 6K flair)

am i wrong tho lmao

unlikely. UNI just look really strong. but, i do think 00 and UNI will make it to ascension. they get two slots and i'd much rather see 00 than VKS

I'm a 6K fan through and through, but for masters/champs i'm on the PRX/DRX lovetrain

(before anyone calls me a bandwagoner -- I've supported PRX since the game 5 against FPX, and i'm just a MaKo/Foxy9 fan)

does he know?

muy probable era causa de toxicidad entre los jugadores y/o el entrenador. suena un poco como lo que pasó con heat en MIBR, pero quizá peor porque MIBR tampoco ha contratado otro jugador (supuestamente) :/

gun and knife. my bet is that the gun's an operator and the knife is a katana like rgx or oni

why the downfrag? i've had a 502 for 5 years now (a proteus spectrum, the newer one is called the hero i think) and it's still going strong. easily the best mouse i've had.

sure it's a little heavy but it has weights for you to find a weight you would like. plus, i've used heavier mice all my life before this one

head: operator
heart: ghost

i think the direction they're taking with the pokemon themselves and the region gimmick is great (terastallization is awesome and dynamaxing was good too). the only thing i don't like is how careless they're becoming with making the games. both sword/shield and scarlet/violet have or had hella bugs and it seems clear to me that as long as people keep buying the games Game Freak will just not put as much effort into optimizing their games. :/

i've been playing blaze black instead, 100% recommend btw

did i reply to you by mistake? lmao, i was also replying to jkjkjk, mb if i accidentally pinged you instead

at this point i wish a team would field him for one match just to show everyone that being a ranked demon != being good in the pro scene

you're right, but i was mostly referring to sites like Ascent B where you can place lockdown in B main and literally get the entire site for free :/ lotus and fracture are good examples of maps where the ult isn't that effective because the range doesn't cover everything. i agree on the orbs though, but i just think that's the cost of big maps like those. maybe change orb locations a bit so they're easier to challenge?

oh i didn't mean my original comment like that, sorry i didn't word it better. i just know he stopped being talked about once he left GenG despite being a strong smokes player, and since he decided to commit to college he won't be back for a while i'd imagine. i'm by no means saying he fell off, he's just focusing on himself and i'm happy for him

i've said this in a thread long ago, but i think my thoughts on it are still the same.

Sage is mostly balanced, she's a good pick on maps like bind, ascent, split, etc. The only thing I would change would be her self-heal to do 40 instead of 30. 30 is nothing and can't even save sage from an extra body shot if below 10 health, but 40 can give her that survivability while still being encouraged to use it on teammates instead.

Cypher I actually think is totally balanced, but it's just not his meta. I also think the camera cd should be lowered, but not by much, maybe 5 seconds at most.

I hate Chamber because i have PTSD from his prenerf form but the upcoming buff should make him a bit more usable.

I think KJ is balanced but the ultimate is too strong. You're either forced to save a brim/sova ult to counter it or literally play full retake. My nerf would be that the range of the ult be smaller so it doesn't cover literally all of a site for free, meaning that KJ would need to place it more aggressively to cover more ground, leaving her and the ult open to getting shot/utiled out more easily. It wouldn't be a super nerf, but just make the range slightly smaller, enough so there's that tradeoff

jcStani. mans is on a college team now i think

damn you got it exactly right. nice work!

if G2 perform like they did last split: OXG 2-0
if G2 perform like they did split 1/msi: OXG 2-1
