In addition to the other replies you got, if you’re interested there’s a book called It Came From Something Awful that explains a lot of internet history.

I like EG, I like their dedication to NA and I want to see them succeed. But when was the last time they won a bo3 at any international event?

Free will is an illusion created by Sweet Baby Ray

You could say it a lot, so people make sure you’re very human in design.

Complexity is probably real happy with a reason to stay in EU for another event. Get some reps in. I’m keeping my expectations reasonable, they’re gonna win it all babyyyy lets go coL!

He’s already signed for Complexity

Mahone still seems a little nervous, but his segments can be really good. I remember a mid-round clip of coL, as well as one from a previous event, and he showcased how they adapted differently when in the same situation. I was seriously impressed.

A lot of comedy/skit shows are like that. We take the good with the bad I guess

I know it’s not what you meant, but I giggled at the thought of James May in Texas with a big cowboy hat saying “oh cock”

Hey wait I’ve seen this one before!

“ The dotcom bubble burst when capital began to dry up. In the years preceding the bubble, record-low interest rates, the adoption of the Internet, and interest in technology companies allowed capital to flow freely, especially to startup companies that had no track record of success.”

Feels like NA teams are always put in the same group? Most teams probably wanted to be in Vit/NIP’s position but the groups look pretty well balanced otherwise.

Cool! What tools did you use?

Yeah agreed. There are a lot of reasons why an IGL might not work for a given group, but how many chances does someone get before they need to re-prove themselves in T2?

I don’t think anything’s confirmed yet, I was going off rumours I had seen.

For sure, I wouldn’t be surprised. But I don’t want to see someone fail just for the sake of being right.

-buster -hobbit are the rumours. Which is a shame, I really like hobbit.

I’m inclined to agree with you. But it’s not like the Navi players or org are dumb, they obviously know better than us. For aleksi’s sake I hope they are competitive cause his career could really use a W.

Pretty wild lineup! Electronic and perfecto to C9?

#1 rule on the internet: don’t feed the trolls. Downvote them, block them, move on. They’re not here to engage in good faith.

I check in every once in a while, at least until Apollo stops working. I mostly just stick to giving people Reddit alternatives or explaining the federated internet so people aren’t scared of such a simple thing.

Selfishly I just didn’t want to use the Official App with ads. But once there’s a viable alternative to Reddit, and it’s actually better than Reddit, why would I go back? “hurr durr cause I can get a thousand updoots on my post”. Who cares? It’s about the quality of engagement. I was surprised how many people unironically care about their internet points and tie their identity up with a website.
