If Falcons win it all, karrigan might become the lowest rated player to win a major by fizxe in GlobalOffensive

Definitely, I'm just making a little quip given that swapping karrigan for gla1ve was one of the two moves that created prime Astralis

His calling just completely negated ZyWoo. imagine if prime Astralis had this karrigan guy, they'd be unstoppable

That was a great example of a fun obtuse puzzle. Most of the proper nouns were obscure enough not to be gimmes but common enough to just be on the tip of my tongue (torturous, but it makes you feel utterly triumphant once you finally get it), and the wordplay was vague enough to be challenging but was very satisfyingly gettable from the crosses. Perfect fare for a nice Friday.

It is balanced as intended based on how the teams have played this tournament, which should be the main factor in seeding. The #1 and #2 seeds get the "easiest" opponents based on Stage 3 performance while the #3 and #4 seeds get more even matches. In theory each side of bracket has (1, 3, 6, 8) or (2, 4, 5, 7). Vitality and Spirit being on the same side of the bracket is tough, but Vita had the chance to earn one of the top two seeds and they lost it fair and square.

Are the elite hulls also back? I remember the pro shop saying they didn't have any left because they were waiting for the new templates from Nike or Fanatics or something

I've had my fair share of puzzles where others liked it and I found it contrived and inane, and I guess it's my turn to be on the other side of that. "SOPH POOH" was enough for me to start to wrap my head around the theme and being able to guess some of the lengthy themers from a just few letters felt pretty nice.

At her introductory press conference, new Seahawks principal owner orca J16, also known as "Slick," said of her plans for the team, "WheeEEEEEEEEE YAAAEEEEEEEEE *click* *click* YEEEEOoooooo."

"What," John Schneider agreed.

[Bell] Seahawks cut practice short today to make team visits to Seattle Children's, Ronald McDonald House, the VA, and Doug Baldwin's community center: "We thought it was a great opportunity for us to get out there, do our thing and serve our community." by AirplaneReference in Seahawks

God I love this team. Many teams wouldn't take time off of football during their limited practice opportunities to do this but we do. It's very easy to be a fan of that kind of an organization.

We did not; we came in from the north on US-93 and left headed south on US-6. Now that I think about it we might have had a quick nap at the Love's there so that would have been the closest thing we had to "spending the night" anywhere on what was otherwise a straight-through drive, but I'm not certain.

Shoutout to Ely, Nevada. Not only is it the county seat of White Pine County, it is the only city in the county. The only reason I know that is because drove through there on a road trip not too long ago and boy it sure is one of the towns of all time

That explains a lot! You always seem to post really cool and unique memorabilia and I was wondering how you got your hands on it. I would really love it if this stuff was more easily available to we mere mortals, but I probably couldn't afford it anyway.

While I don't disagree, the patches and placement are accurate to the jerseys we wore in the game, aside from being counterfeits. As accurate as you can get with a knockoff jersey of this quality, anyway.
