It's cool!

Possibly, but then again, Brazil is quite the ways from China.

No clue. I'd like to talk to them though because it definitely takes a fair amount of commitment/determination to downvote everything I say. Such loyal friends should never be ignored, and it saddens me how shy they are.

That's fair as well. Abo is a veteran in the scene and he's also one of the better players on the TEC roster.

Then that's their issue. Nationality is taken into account when discussing a person much more than their ethnicity imo. If they don't understand that then that's just a skill issue at that point.

I don't think Potatobrawler8 or anyone here is disagreeing with that.

Yeah, tbf it took me a couple seconds to recall TEC as part of the 11. My tip is to think: "I wonder where rb is nowadays." That's what I do to remember that TEC is a thing. Sorry if it's unclear haha.

Go get 'em! You're doing great managing such a difficult operation.

My word is that a strange thing to believe in. Scientifically speaking, there shouldn't be any genes in Europeans that allow them to be better at video games than say, people from the United States of America or Fiji. If you believe in this stuff then you may or may not be seriously undereducated on certain topics that you might want to understand fully if you want to be a well-functioning member of humanity.
Racism and stereotypes should never be encouraged in any situation (aside from making assumptions when reasonable).

And I agree! The Russian heritage has no connection to being good at video games. It makes zero sense.

One of my favorites involves a main character dabbling in the oldest profession.

Na1my never said anything about Demon1 getting good by playing in Russia though... As far as my interpretation goes (it might be wrong), it seems to me that they are just pointing out the fact that there are a lot of great players with Russian heritage.

Factual!

But he still has roots in Russia.

Go autumn!

You're right. Suygetsu is so good but honestly I always forget that he's also Russian.

That's actually not an unreasonable assumption considering the history of Macau.

In my opinion, it's an amazing phenomena and it's very cool to see Russian players pop off all the time (ex. vo0kashu, Chronicle, nAts, b1sk, trexx, etc)

If that's true then he kind of sucks, but I'd like to give Finesse benefit of the doubt.

It could happen! Only time can tell.

I know:
EDG
JDG
BLG
FPX
AG
NOVA
WOL
TE
DRG
TYLOO
TEC

and some other CN orgs that may or may not be defunct by now.

Well Poge, I have thought about your question quite the bit. Personally I think it depends on the situation and drink.

If water:
I'm generally okay if it's wet on the outside of the glass/mug/cup/container, but this only applies when I'm having normal still water. I would never purposely waste non-normal still water. Additionally, the same goes for sparkling water. I wouldn't purposely waste sparkling water.

If not water:
I'm not okay with having non-water beverages on the outside of the glass. Most get sticky and is generally unpleasant to deal with.

If cold outside/inside: no
If hot outside/inside: yes

I've got midterms in January, finals in June, and final exams in May of next year.

Classic Wolverhampton Wanderers thinking. Getting more squad depth is indeed an important thing.

Well, if you were offended by it in any way, I do apologize.

I don't think so. I didn't think it was very funny when I wrote it. It was only after I re-read it after I submitted it when I found out the vulgar implications it may lead one to believe in.

I didn't realize when I was writing it.

I would never. It's just a poorly made generalization made by me because a lot of my woman friends like hot dogs when they're available on the school lunch menu :)

I'm sorry, I made quite the inappropriate joke. It's been a long week.

I think it depends. If you like hotdogs, then you're probably bound to do better in a hot dog competition. Additionally, if you're more hungry than the opposition, you might subconciously feel inclined to eat faster.

Edit: Just a personal opinion, but I think GameChanger teams would do better than the international teams. -> I think it depends. If you like hotdogs, then you're probably bound to do better in a hot dog competition. Additionally, if you're more hungry than the opposition, you might subconciously feel inclined to eat faster.

Among many other reasons why that just wouldn't work, one main reason why they would never do that is because it simply isn't financially viable for either parties to do something like that.

Haha it's just a hobby of mine. I don't play videogames during the weekdays so I just write when I have time/want to take a break.

How is that relevant at all to the topic?

Unfortunately, it does not happen where I live. However, it is a setting of one of the chapters of the short novella I'm working on.

Hello kitsuneHP, congrats on the four stars! I know it can mean a lot to people. Here's one thing I want you to agree with:

More places around the world should hold pumpkin competitions during the harvest season (see who grows the largest pumpkin, etc). Winner gets a cool prize like a goat or something, and there should be carnivals and farmers markets to celebrate the harvest season.

We've had CN New Year bundles for quite a long time, but I do think there's a possibility that they increase in quality.

I don't think so. I think the CN stuff they've been putting out will lessen and lessen as time goes on. They definitely released all that stuff to hype up the game/entice CN users to try the game. But of course, we all love money.

BLG FPX JDG TRACE would be one super juicy group!

We love money!

Oh really? Well, I'm not very knowledgable on this topic, so I'm not familiar with all the details about Frankfurt.

Thank you ct_fd_str :)

I'm not sure what I did. They don't tell me anything about it :p

RIOTs goal for Valorant is to create a global Esport, and they've been working towards that. It's hard to do business in China due to its many regulations, so they haven't been able to do that up until now. This is also a great opportunity to make some cash at the worlds largest Esport market.

Pretty decent squad overall but imo slightly underwhelming compared to other teams. I'm seeing a 8-10th place finish if this team performs alright.

I have a friend who lives in Frankfurt, and as far as I am aware, it fits your description of a "metropolis". This piece of information might be outdated, but last time I checked it was one of the fastest growing German cities in terms of economic opportunities. Could be a cool place to move!

Quite!

Don't judge please:

Gratin au pomme de terre
Cream of mushroom soup
Turtle soup
Peking Duck
Lasagne
Bistecca alla fiorentina
Andalusian calamari
Vinitus honey cod
Shawarma wrap
Garlic Bread
Xiaolongbao
Steak tartare

etc etc

It seems to me that they "like players".

balua was the only redeemable player on that team.

TEC should be having Rb on flex duty. Also, he doesn't seem to be on the list.
