I did a quick search and it looks like the prize pool is up 150% from last year's $5000, maybe some NA teams will be able to go now. More than double swelan's ~$3.6k prize pool as well...

I'm trying to buy BYOC tickets and it asks for a postcode so I entered my zip code (cause im in the us and we dont have postcodes lol) and it said please enter a valid postcode, so I just googled the one for the NEC and tried that but it and now it's giving me an error saying to contact the box office or something. I sent them an inquiry form or whatever and the customer service lady just said "You would need to enter the postcode valid with the card as this would be why it would not authorise,"

Has anyone else from the US/elsewhere been able to buy tickets successfully with this shit? I remember last year it being a huge hassle and having this shit happen but idr what I did :/

edit: Okay I tried a different card from one of my parents and it worked, just entered in a random postcode (the one of the NEC lol) and it was good

im going to amsterdam in a few weeks and am super excited europe is gonna be awesome :>

I've had my headphones (Audeze SINE) for around two years now and it seems that the cushions are coming apart, has anyone else had this happen/know what to do? I have sent them back to Audeze in the past to get them fixed (~6months ago, the plastic piece in the headband was broken) but it took a bit of time for them to ship there and back and I am leaving the country in less than a month so I don't think I would be able to get them back in time if I did that. Is this the sort of thing a local headphone repair shop or something like that would be able to fix easily? I don't want to spend too much money cause it doesn't really affect how they sound noticeably and it doesn't seem like they're gonna straight up fall off or anything soon so I might just live with it and try to get them fixed when I come back in a few months.

I don't get it why do you guys care so much about every player uploading their own demos isn't that what STVs are for? Nobody legitimately thinks the guy cheats or anything do they?

I guess ESEA uses the client for anticheat purposes so that's why we don't have to do it but it still seems rather silly imo

I miss spello he was always super chill and fun to talk to and made the coolest music and frag vids (esp. carpet's intros)
Also sneaky/jake was one of my favorite teammatess and it was always fun chilling and playing civ with him and the boys but now that he's an epic gamer in the OWL he's too busy and has no time to anymore :(
Also shoutout to muma he was always fun to pug with and just a nice person all around (plus his stupid taunt meme lmao)

same but with bear (or bare or behr paint lmao)

also not tf2 but because of fortnite, whenever i see wooden pallets or little mini picket fences in real life I can't not think of mining them lmfao

So I did a little research and the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL have no headphone jack? I feel like having to use an adapter for my headphones is a big pain in the ass sand I'm not tryna spend more money on new bluetooth headphones. Seems like the play otherwise but I'm kind skeptical about this no headphone jack thing lol

Also apparently my phone is 2 months off from the end of the 2 year contract thing idk how that shit works tbh but I'd be kinda pissed if it memed me -_-

I've been using an HTC 10 for about 2 years and it's started to slow down and the battery seems to be dying as well, recently every time it gets down to like ~75% it will suddenly flash 1% and then power off power off and go in a boot loop. I looked it up and it doesn't seem possible (or easy if so) to replace the battery and it's gotten to near the end of the 2 year contract thing so I figure it's probably just time to get a new phone.

Looking to hopefully get something that has a decent battery and won't become a potato after a year or two, definitely leaning towards android, and the only other thing that really matters is it has to have good audio (the main reason I got the HTC 10 was it's got a good DAC and preamp and my headphones sound good from it). Would be nice to have a good camera and be fast as well but not that big a priority as i dont really play games or do much demanding things other than like watch youtube/twitch

I'm on verizon btw and am not sure on the budget or whatever

sticky jumper demo is actually super good as well if you dont believe me watch dingo that man is a fucking savant with that shit
good demo jumper + pipes = farm

liberty launcher alone is dumpo but liberty launcher shotgun is legit pretty good if you can direct scouts with the extra fast rockets and then shotty them, pretty good meme for roamer cause u can still rj around decently and scouts never expect you to have a shotgun
on that note shotgun roamer on certain situations like holding last with disadvantage or smt where you can just push a flank and 1v1 someone is actually viable i remember marmaloo would do that sometimes and own scouts with it lol
