it appears to me as if demoted stole the team's roster, seeing as how he is the team leader

#bandemoted

but the dramas starting already~~~

did mana just give up on the IM and invite threadz

ex is one of the nicest people I've played with, and he works really hard to improve. he's a good listener and fast learner, and since he got his 144hz monitor and new pc his DM has been skyrocketing. he's really good at finding the perfect 4k cleanup to secure a round or a mid fight. everyone else who contributed to the death of mlx blue deserves at least a teensy bit of blame, with one exception, and that's ex.

good luck, mang.

how is almost everything I said wrong? the only difference seems to be that you're saying blacky and not oplaid was the main force behind it, and that the esea admins fell in line really quickly and didn't need a ton of convincing

as to the former point, I remember that oplaid was the team leader so he was the one who talked most about it to torbull, and as to the latter point I never denied that esea weren't super nice about it themselves

the dumbest competitive trivia I can think of is that this post exists:

to clarify:

the origin of egyptian flamingos was that mmj(?) team with stampeed and zclipse, which eventually got claimed by mad men in IM, went to invite as nNn, then just sat there til s18 when the current players on it used it in open

the meat market roster started as brackets, then became that weird team blueberry made, and stayed that way til broking got it to remake meat market in s18

the five dollar club roster started with that klickin with klicka team that had buddha, caidh and defiance, then it became that weird AG revival, then r5, then that team with dbw and duwatna and giffy in main or something, then became sorta chill 2 good-y and then that cisco adler team, and finally five dollar club

I hope this was as boring to read as it was to write

a lot of people tend to think of shrugger as the ultimate lan choker, but they forget such famous instances as:

-smaka being on 75 fov for like the first half of a lan (which, to be fair, shrugger did as well on map 1 of his first lan)
-enigma's dreadful performance at his first lan in s6
-weeble utterly flopping at lan
-shade's very first lan, as demo in s5, filling in for pandemic because he happened to live in the area (not really a choke because he wasnt close to invite at the time)

I wonder if people also remember that first lan, where a) one of the top 4 teams couldn't go because their sponsor fucked them over, and b) all 4 of the teams that did go had players missing from their normal lineup (animeman for enigma on coL, davis for destro on EG, shade for kermit on pandemic, sequel for hong on blight)

or s6 lan where oplaid got the admins to force a single bo5 finals instead of 2 bo3s for the lower bracket teams due to flight schedule and beat fanom that way

or s7 where eg didnt go because cyzer accidentally gave the team password to everyone on gotfrag so they couldn't roster flame when they needed him

s8 seemed the most normal lan so far, until the aforementioned trophy incident

man, early lans had so much more personality

while there's prolly a pretty good chance that this bo4r fellow really does hack, it doesnt help to have people like this serenity kid with horrible reading comprehension and an even worse understanding of logic

do people remember the time pandemic used a ringer on someone's acc and got caught by coL. and then sat out the rest of the esea season?

or that jaeger played on someone else's acc to help them win an open game?

or the time mason used blur on demo on someone else's account in open playoffs and then vhalin on a roster rider's account to attempt to make im playoffs?

or the time davis pretended to be dummy in the alienware arena?

or the legend of djbuttfarts1?

good times good times

I dont understand whats going on in this

on topic: I don't support this tax, but not because the concept of an internet tax is inherently ridiculous. rather, I don't support it because sales taxes are inherently regressive and I would prefer promoting progressive taxes- raising the payroll tax cap, creating more luxury taxes, raising capital gains taxes, bringing back the estate tax, maybe even a millionaire's tax, etc.

please please please never cite the national review as a source

ryder aka corpse is a legend too
