ive never really cared about prizes but also never really cared about paying the fee lol. if it goes to stuff like making lan happen then its worth it IMO, though I think EU already runs more lans than NA? so I guess they don't need it.

(btw "ill never see the money because it will just go to sandbaggers" is such a bad mentality lol, do you have no faith in your own improvement? just get good lol)

considering that they did 5 min round resets multiple times in a row seems pretty obvious that they could do it with a 10 min timer. like if u can hold last for 5 min, reset to mid, lose mid, then hold last for another 5 that is basically the same as just holding last for 10

no hate on wg they were playing to win obviously, i think that grands is more of an indictment of the current ruleset/map pool than anything else

this grands is proof that we need to play more koth

no if you're not instantly dropping 400 every game you should probably just quit

the last time pugs were good was 2017-18 pug champ imo at least in terms of public pugs. after that the only way pugs have been good has been private inhouses which will inherently not have many people (and have other downsides like randoming medics)

map aweek is interesting but its dumb because it can change the outcome of a match just because of what week it was played on. if the people wnat to play snakewater every week let them play snakewater. if you want dont want to play pug maps just use all your bans on them

whta if instead of seasons we just did double elim brackets on the weekends

im not playing this season so i have no horse in the race but its worth knowing that drp was active in league play back in ESEA and was cracked as fuck back then as well in that s26-s29 period of esea i definitely remember playing with/against him relatively often, so id say hes probably more ""proven"" than a lot of people who are currently in advanced...

ive been entering my smash locals, mostly going 1-2 and playing lucina/wolf. if any west coasters want to play wifi hmu

altho it is some serious copium that "invite strats dont work because the other team is too bad" lmao. optimal play doesnt suddenly become non-optimal when the other team is feeding or something, that just means your execution of the strat was bad. central mids especially are so important in the meta because they punish non-optimal plays like a poorly positioned combo incredibly hard.

u dont have to justify to anyone why u cut someone btw. if they werent fun to play with u dont have to keep playing with them, u dont have to try and convince ppl on tftv that u are in the moral right or something, u just stop playing with them and move on. if ur not super serious about improving it is totally fine to just play with people you like and improve more slowly while having more fun

sadly many low-mid level medics think that just because they dont play a fragging class they get a free pass to having bad mechanics and dont try and improve their aim/movement

^ i got my money
