AWPer hand

I think Apex is the closest any FPS game came to replicating the potential that CSGO had. It was the only game that not only had the movement, feel-good gunplay, and money pumped into it, but it also was super enjoyable to watch from player POVs. Overwatch struggled immensely with the visual clutter and how time-to-kill was extremely long for pretty much every character because of the presence of healers and tanks. Apex unfortunately never was going to rival CSGO because it's a battle royale game, so competitions naturally were not team vs team, but team vs team vs team vs team vs team vs team and so on. Still a very enjoyable game with high skill ceiling.

VALORANT is now the only FPS that rivals CSGO because... it's a copycat. Very similar guns and formatting. Former CS pros were instantly dominant when the game was first released, and still have a leg up on naturally adopting the game. Only real difference is the introduction of class-based abilities. Tanks the watchability of the game, but zoomers like the bright colors. Oh, and tons of money was pumped into it by Riot.

The only eSport that still not only rivals but probably surpasses CS is League of Legends. It's a team based game that is fairly easy to watch IF you are familiar with the game (and if not, then yeah its pretty hard). It gets a massive amount of money and time spent by Riot, the game is balanced, lots of individual skill can change the game, etc. But its not an FPS and it's most popular in Asia, so we don't really talk about it on tftv that much.

announcing that there will be an announcement is a nothingburger

RGL admins never heard of having roommates since they live in their parents basement unfortunately

how is a military building in a residential area "separates its civilian population from its military population"? is there a forcefield around this building that civilians cannot walk within 100ft of?

you have a business analytics degree and in the same breath you're rejecting widely accepted statistical sample sizes in favor of anecdotes

I just gave you source that include an Israel/Palestine relations expert, the European Union diplomatic service, the Swedish government, the International Court of Justice, the French government, and the most prominent Middle Eastern news outlet all definitively calling it settler terrorism u numbskull

Oct 7th isn't special beyond the magnitude and recency. Israel has been killing innocent Palestinian kids for decades too in "retaliation" to Hamas.

Bombing civilian populations is a war crime. War crimes are never justifiable.

Reminder Netanyahu shut down peace talks and every "offer" Israel has given to Palestine for a "two state solution" has involved Palestine ceding not only land in the West Bank that Israeli settlers are illegally settling on, but additional land that Israel wants from the West Bank, as well as provisions that still would let Israel occupy Palestine if they deem there to be a vague "security risk". Israel has not offered a peaceful solution that isn't inherently violent, while Palestine has.

When you cut off 90% of Palestinians from having access to drinkable water, bomb as many residential buildings you can, bomb all but 13 hospitals, bomb almost every school, cut all Palestinians electricity, stop food trucks from entering, and kill tens of thousands of civilians because you value an Israeli soldier life 100x the value of a Palestinian civilian life, this is not an efficient way of getting rid of Hamas. It is collective punishment, and genocide. All civilians in Gaza are trapped in Gaza by Israel, and Israel is essentially dropping bombs on top of them in the off chance that the bomb also reaches an underground tunnel directly under them that happens to have a Hamas member in it. There is nothing, nothing that can possibly justify the tactics Israel is using on Gaza.
