tbf EMEA has a ton of IGLs in t2, its just that none of us know who is IGLing what team so we cant even make our fantasy rosters with em

radical red when looking for a "close to vanilla" game
reborn was the most fun for thanks to adding so many new variables (and borderline insane difficulty curve)

and insurgence when playing with friends who haven't played fangames/romhacks before since its nice and polished

very might be an understatement considering he's clashed with like half the val scene at this point xD

posted about a year ago

theres no clips to prove him cheating
the drama comes from tier 1 pros talking about their suspicions (coughs in ardiis bro)

Riot either never had an investigation or didnt release it so we'll never know if he truly was, but his stats were insane to the level where the accusation is not unreasonable
Multiple pros who would also have info refuse to speak on the topic, so we're not getting anything from them either

He's not returning to competing regardless so its not exactly relevant

this tweet is calling out eg not the players
he speculates that eg doesnt have a good working environment or that players dont get treated fairly or that the org doesnt show appreciation to their players for the players success

posted about a year ago

he was one of the best players in polaris 2 seasons in a row (back when it was still competitive with actual teams... not the poor husk it is now), has preformed well against tier 1 teams every time he played them and has put up incredible numbers in scrims allegedly

Vit has trialed him for 2 years in a row now and have deemed him worth signing this year so make of that what you will

posted about a year ago

it is clear you arent interested in actually looking at his stats, so just have fun
if it makes you happy hating on a tier 2 player getting an opportunity go for it, and keep crying about nepotism while your at it

again the france is an offseason tournament, since you apparently watched you will have noticed that its a different format and didnt require teams to swap regions as you can tell by bonk immediately playing in polaris after the offseason ended

hey parla had a bunch of rejects because they played in EMEA tournaments during the offseason! how could they practice!

posted about a year ago

then click on the stats page if you wanna see him the entire tournament xD aint a worse state line either

posted about a year ago

.... yea you didnt watch

the france was an offseason tournament in which bonk, a polaris team, entered

posted about a year ago

he played in 2 regions at least go with a factual narrative
and its clear you have very little info about him and havent bothered actually watching his past seasons (or even clicking on the stats tab) so you have fun hating on young players^^

hence why I was talking about a timeframe and a team here^^
heres kicks diffing an former tier 1 team during the same offseason https://www.vlr.gg/150596/big-vs-bonk-red-bull-home-ground-3-emea-swiss-qual-swiss-r5

posted about a year ago

this is a t2 player who has no connections to any tier 1 people except an IGL who now coaches for t2 in NA
there is no Nepotism here

posted about a year ago

Look at his time on Bonk if you wanna see how amazing he was/is
The bonk offseason roster was a genuine force - theres a reason they beat parla shortly after forming, who then immediately went on to upset actual t1 teams

From what Ive heard lewis is stuck in Focus jail since he has a significant buyout
Assuming he doesnt though, id love to see him join tier 1 already, arent exactly many IGLs left

only recently
Dima was still 6th back when Harmii subbed in but couldnt play since he didnt have a visa iirc

nah its just on "state operated networks", so essentially pcs/phones that the state bought its employees
pretty much just so people dont download (foreign) borderline spyware onto their work phones/pcs

the US already has a similar law in place for government issued devices

posted about a year ago

Nah the worry is that an org wins -> sells slot and runs off with a profit
With FA theres no one selling, its just an org buying into t1 (which riot seems to be fine with)

And now before you use logic and ask how Guard just straight up dropping their roster and Riot picking an org that gets in instead would be selling it.... well ask riot cause I dont think anyone can answer that

posted about a year ago

young player thats been hyped up as insane for a good while now, so im fully on board to see how he does in t1
especially after we had something and demon1 this year

posted about a year ago

alright you might be on to something here

posted about a year ago

not really
round 21 ange1 won 2 duels stopping the push (so the rest of the team got stuck behind a sage wall) and 22 was lost to odin spam
neither of the round the igling was particularly bad, nor did kolda mess up any shots

posted about a year ago

the actual reason guild lost is that suygetsu decided that fpx werent going into OT map 1, walking into mid and killing 4 people in duels
Guild werent losing otherwise since sayf had woken up at that point

TLDR as requested (id recommend watching the video if you're even slightly interested since I cant guarantee I properly represented GN's points):

LMG refers to Linus and his company

Very large amount of errors in their reporting - both in data, basic quality control as well as conclusions (for example GN questions a conclusion on a Noctua fan which goes against LMGs own data, due to LMG working together with Noctua on screwdrivers)

Rushed videos (i.e. not correcting mistakes and at best adding an * on screen correcting it instead of re shooting) & information getting lost in the chain due to the size of the company

TON of conflicts in interest/bias (examples given are: Linus keeps covering Laptops despite him investing 200k into a laptop brand, the Noctua thing from above)

Doing reviews which they know they don't have qualifications for ->
an example GN give, then coming to the conclusion that the product (from a super tiny company!) they knowingly installed wrong was a bad product and not being willing to properly test it:
"Linus in order to protect his company's bottom line, was willing to potentially inflict immeasurable harm to a [2 person] startup, rather than spend a couple of hundred bucks in someone else's time [to retest a major error on their part] out of the 100 million dollar company's coffers. "
Also keeping the prototype and selling it despite the company explicitly wanting it back, to give it to other creators/continue development using it

LMG doubling down on wrong statements (and blaming the company for it) and even when they then have to accept the mistake not taking the video down: see Pwnage Mouse section

LMG fans lashing out at companies/reviewers when they point out major issues in LTT videos

Conclusion: Unfair to Consumers, Manufacturers & other Reviewers
100 million company, Linus Media Group, brand themselves as consumer first, yet act in a careless, irresponsible, bottom line first way

I dont know sadly, no one I asked had any info on it (/wanted to tell me)
Jack Igoe did observe during Lock-In so possibly, but the fact that 2 leakers were both fully on board with replacing an absolute stat monster with t2 players leads me to believe that there might still be issues

posted about a year ago

eeeeh they deserve criticism, they looked horrible - not t1 level but watching sliggy lose his mind is a rare thing
its such a fall from grace too, they looked really good in EMEA and then decent in Tokyo

Theyve had internal issues with sayf committing "team terrorism" (quote from an observer, Jack Igoe, who said that on his stream when speculating about roster moves - with neither bodork or flyn disagreeing with the take of Sayf potentially getting replaced) apparently so idek

they also caused the first international br drama by using a clip from frz out of context (wasnt directed at sen) which lead the the zombs trashcan

I have tried to go pro in the best f2p game of 2018, Paladins Champion of the Realm
only being saved by the fact that they shut down their t1 league right before valorant

ye he fragged too much, so Clouds couldnt get to the 400 acs he would have otherwise

posted about a year ago

to be fair to them they actually looked pretty good again against KOI in the rematch, so who tf knows what theyre doing
biggest swings we've seen in a while

posted about a year ago

Riot could add a region clause, though 1 group will always have 2 EMEA teams
would result in decent groups too if the pools end up similar to how OP described them

edit: thats what I get for not refreshing before posting

posted about a year ago

the only true replacement: get bonkar back from NA

I would have pointed at the fade instead of skye but ye, think its fine for NaVi to just embrace peoples mains for once
They only have a day of practice realistically

Look I get the main point you're trying to make but that's just not what gaslighting is.

"Gaslighting is an insidious form of manipulation and psychological control. Victims of gaslighting are deliberately and systematically fed false information that leads them to question what they know to be true, often about themselves. They may end up doubting their memory, their perception, and even their sanity" from https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/gaslighting

There was no gaslighting here. Its just 2 people straight up being excessively toxic to each other resulting in a racist remark towards a unrelated 3rd party. There's video recordings of it.

posted about a year ago

no not really
Kolda finished the regular season with 130 acs (matching bonkars worst tournament performance), while doing so much worse in the rating department
Combine this with the fact that bonkar had a way less frag focused playstyle compared to Kolda and it aint looking good (in an interview when asked why he swapped away from the breach Bonkar gave something along the lines of "it feels like I sometimes forget I have a gun" as the reason, which characterizes his gameplay from the time pretty well ngl xD)

That being said obviously frags arent exactly what makes an IGL a good IGL so it doesn't matter that much. Kolda managed to get Guild to their first ever lan. Kolda is a good IGL.
If he manages to lead his team to Champs then he's doing his job, and he looks to be on track for it atm.

posted about a year ago

That isnt relevant
If Riot finds it necessary to act both Flip and TenTen wont be allowed to compete in general, since they broke the code of conduct, instead of just getting kicked from their team like TenTen did

Personally im pretty sure the "investigation" is already done since Flips post talked about mediation with a 3rd party (which would be a rather unusual reaction for 2 people being toxic to each other) and we wont hear any more from Riot

The author made the clips himself so it aint exactly being lazy
I just assume hed rather watch the game than swap between streams after every clip
