I sincerely apologize for my lack of awareness. I understand that I live in a region with good infrastructure and I guess it just got to my head. I apologize again for my insolence, and I agree with you. It sounds very annoying and I haven't even experienced it before.

Unfortunately that seems to be the case.

Oh yes, for sure. If your location of residency does not have great filtration of rainwater, then it is definitely undesirable to go outside when it's raining.

I mean, if the ground is all dusty and stuff, yeah the mud can get annoying, but generally speaking I think a walk in a nice drizzle/shower is pretty nice. Obviously, don't go out when the sky looks like Thor is about to summon a thunder dragon (I have experienced nights here where it looked like the sun was still out at 1:00AM but it was just continuous lightning).

From my perspective, it really is such a shame... I would've loved to see them defending their Champions title and proving their strength again next year, but now I know that it's all just a fantasy.

I actually really like rain. Sometimes I go outside with an umbrella to experience the rain. I recommend going to the center of a park or smth and just standing there for a bit. Maybe reflect on life for a bit, meditate or smth... I think the ambiance when it rains is just splendid.

SR win 2-1 I think EDGS could still put up a fight without Lizhi.

Thanks! It was a tough one, but I'm glad it was right :D

But if you guys really are good friends, I'd assume that he'd be understanding and know that playing video games over choosing him doesn't sour the relationship between the two of you... I think transparency is the most important thing here and if it really is a super big relationship-affecting deal, then perhaps it'd be best that you two have a talk and understand what each other really want.

I'll see if I can catch some matches on twitch or smth... but that depends on how much mercy my schedule wants to give lol

Hmmmmmmmmmm I didn't know that, but ig now I do haha! Thank you for telling me :D

I mean, what can I say! From what I've seen EDGS looks very strong, but I didn't take into account that Lizhi won't be playing, so I'll change it lol...

It definitely won't be a one-sided EDG clap is what I'm sure of.

I don't watch a lot of gamechangers, and I barely know anything about them.
But here's my attempt at making a reasonable pick'ems, feel free to judge or give suggestions I'm happy to talk.

Let's be respectful of other languages, okay?

Thank you so much! i'm getting pretty busy with school/life and stuff but I do hope to keep this going.

Dude you're so right! Being one of the only 7 games I've played for more than 5 hours, I think it's one of the best open world games ever!

You can't be saying that after seeing the likes of RA, TE, and ASE right?

I think this could actually prove to be a close series. On any other day, I'd probably pin FPX as the favorites, but after seeing that dreadful Bind against 17Gaming (ik they won but still), I have serious doubts about their potential ability to dominate DRG. In fact, I'd say that the opposite could happen, where players such as vo0kashu and TvirusLuke capitalize on their good form and give FPX a run for their money. After watching FPX's recent performances, I'd say that the odds this series should probably be around a FPX 55/45 DRG.
Considering everything, I think this could be the first real "upset" of the tournament with DRG winning 2-1 against FPX. But once again, this looks like a very close series, so it's somewhat hard to predict the winner.

Yeah I get what you're saying.

I agree to an extent.

I think it's just 17G playing well, but okay.

I thought this would be some super positive message or smth lol

Touche🐼

You're overstating my abilities quite a bit imo! Anyone can do what I do, just follow the steps below:

1. State the series and the teams participating in an exciting fashion, maybe even adding a fact .
   (e.x. "RA only dropping 10 maps to prospecting DRG and TE coming out on top against a hopeful FPX proves to be a superbanger, as two teams that imo have popped up out of nowhere within the span of these three acts of the tournament fight each other to prove who is the better team.")

2. Grab a fact, and interpret it in a reasonable way.
   (e.x. "Both teams finished Top 3 last Act, and this could potentially be the match to find out who truly deserves to be on top.")

3. Repeat step 2 if needed.
   (e.x. "Considering the fact that both teams gave their opponents a walloping in their last respective series played, I think I'm going to shut up, and let the teams speak for themselves.")

4. Give your personal opinion/prediction.
   (e.x. "Personally I think it's going to be a close 2-1 RA win but it'll be a funny story if RA wins 2-0 again and it'll be an adventurous tale if TE gets their highly anticipated revenge...")

I don't think I have what it takes to be an analyst, but I think I could definitely be a match previewer or smth... write teaser descriptions lol, but thank you nonetheless!

I'd eat that!

but strawberry is best ice cream flavor and stracciatella is best gelato flavor

Idk in my memories he's always used that red battlepass op but you're probably right.

I'm glad you had fun!

A handful of my friends have been playing it a lot recently, so I guess there's something about playing with friends that makes it appealing.

Interesting! I've never touched fortnite, and to be frank, I don't know if I ever will lol!

Of course the guy with a Faze Clan flair is the one talking smh

Ahhhh I see... good luck with that!

Can't you migrate accounts?

Tell me you're joking...

As an EMEA fan + a (self-proclaimed) China observer, I really enjoyed Masters Tokyo and the Champions 2023 tournament this year. But if not those two, I'd personally prefer Champions 2021, Masters Copenhagen, and Masters Berlin. Hard to pick an absolute fav though.

How is fortnite? Is it actually interesting/fun to play?

LEV 9 -1 lol

LGD won a 15-13 overtime bo1 against TYLOO with a sub. I don't think it's very impressive, given that it is indeed TYLOO we're talking about here...

wardell red alert operator?

Yes lol

EDG should be able to beat ASE in this series. After seeing TES's performance on Sunset (one of EDG's strong maps), I wouldn't be surprised if ASE replicated that sort of performance and countered EDG on a map. Regardless, I think that you could argue that the 10 rounds won by TES was a fluke and that EDG was throwing or whatever (kk on cypher lol).

EDG 2-0 win sounds very convincing imo

To be fair the only match I've gotten wrong so far was the FPX Trace game... And plus, I think EDG 2-0 is pretty obvious....

I agree! But from what I've seen from many CN teams, they tend to try to study one map that the other team is good at, and they then smash that team with antistrats (DYG/RNG Haven, FPX/BLG Lotus, etc). So, if LGD does do homework and successfully pulls it off in the server then they have a chance at taking a map.

You took the words out of my mouth. Well said!

He's a funny guy

Great start to your rap career Poge! I look forward to more.

I have a lot of people I've come to be fond of in this community, and I'm skeptical about the consequences of not being able to name all of them in one comment, so I think I will refrain from doing so.

I think he actually played pretty well! I'd have to see a longer game to actually say whether he's actually good on Skye or not tho.

I really hope they do well with the Apeks core.
