jks is a fucking monster mang

played against him in a lobby a year ago, he was nuts. then I played him in hl, and he was nuts. then I saw him in open and he was nuts. this season, he played games in IM and was nuts.

next season, will be in invite and will be nuts??

people gotta start belieeeving me

will play for 2 weeks, absolutely wreck kids, and then vanish again

maybe it's just me, but even if Incarnati0n lives up to the hype, I think that Balls is reaaaally washed up at this point, and they either need a gold-efficient top laner who doesn't need as many resources or a more legitimate carry threat

I really hope the warriors rally, they deserve to win this season and steve kerr winning a ring in his first season would be nuts

c&c should win if they dont choke

two of the three best esports of all time (cs 1.6 and brood war) were dominated by one region for almost their entirety. 1.6 is probably the best counterexample to your argument because NA teams could compete from like 1999 to 2005, but in the most competitive era (2008-2010 or so), they couldn't, and that's when the game was at its peak.

I don't think it reflects badly on the scene as a whole that the 10th best team in the world or so still has glaring weaknesses. to use cs:go as an example, do we get upset that flipsid3 or dignitas have glaring weaknesses? if it weren't for the arbitrary fact of their nationality we wouldn't give a shit.

Chef's Table was pretty great, very beautifully directed too

my fav episodes being the Magnus Nilsson and Dan Barber ones (even if Massimo Bottura is probably THE most highly respected chef there)

and if yall have netflix, some other recommendations:
-Jiro Dreams of Sushi
-any of Anthony Bourdain's shows, but keeping in theme with Chef's Table I'd go first for the El Bulli episode of No Reservations or the Noma episode of Parts Unknown
-The Mind of a Chef (although April Bloomfield's half of season 2 was disappointing)
-whatever episodes of Good Eats are available
-guilty pleasure will always be Chopped

what I don't get is why people care so much if an NA team does well

why can't we just accept they're shit, move on, and become fans of Korean and Chinese players whose playstyles interest us, regardless of whether they have slanted eyes or not???

edit: especially because tsm fans are the bronies of esports
