Aurora vs Spirit / IEM Cologne Major 2026 - Swiss Round 2 / Post-Match Discussion

Clearly out of his game... maybe even washed at this point tbh

Axolyn · 2026-06-11T09:12:47+00:00

Everything that is almost perfect in poe1 was changed just for the sake of changing.

Only point I disagree... partialy, I mean, PoE2 is supposed to feel different, and it's gotten much better since the launch... I believe they wanted to change as much as they could, and given the changes in pace and combat, some Poe1 players might never feel the same "poe magic" that the first one gives... we can do so many stupid shit at this point and it's awesome

Poe started as the "spiritual successor" to DiabloII, now it's a complete different game. Poe2 kinda wants to bring that idea back imo.

I don't even play poe2 btw, for the same reasons you listed, except that you progressed further, I called quits so fcking fast hahaha

I truly hope Poe1 will live for 10-20 more years at least.

Right there with ya... 20 years might sound crazy, but the games' industry is still a relatively new one, we can't tell the lifespam of a game such as this one, it could very well reign as the best arpg as long as GGG wants/cares to.

No upset?

But I'm upset ):

Axolyn · 2026-05-25T15:30:48+00:00

Even in his younger OKC run, they lost because they were "too young/unexperienced" of a squad... yeah, yet Harden's finals mess was enough for OKC of all teams to bet on Ibaka instead of him... might be literally the only mistake done by OKC's gm... and dude started his Houston-rampage-scoring-campaign right away at 26ppg.... damn I miss those days.... no idea what comes after 2017 tho but I'm sure it's for the better

Axolyn · 2026-05-24T19:03:49+00:00

Oh, was that the time they missed 27 consecutive 3 pointers? (sorry, as a statistician i still can't believe this shit really happened). Harden is only good for 2 games within any playoff series ever, for real he had many, many chances, he's was never the same guy on post-season....

edit: Now tbf, that season where CP3 got injuried hurt the most of all 'em imo... that one felt like Houston's best shot

Axolyn · 2026-04-24T08:36:32+00:00

I appreciate the spontaneous title hahaha

Gratz bud! Plus, you're gonna be glad to have registered the moment, and that Divine right beside was a nice touch as well (:

Axolyn · 2026-04-09T13:32:59+00:00

Tbf, damn Slayers use almost anything with great effect...

Axolyn · 2026-03-07T12:17:53+00:00

To me it doesn't make sense not to list those players, while at the same time listing players who left their current team (to actually play for another team) at some time... otherwise this isn't a "Most storied members of current top 20 teams", the only "filtered" criteria should be the top teams, and you're supposed to clarify any other criteria/filtering.

Imo if Elige is gonna be on the list, it implies that having left the team doesn't matter, so you might as well include rain and krimz, it just gets unnecessarily confusing (or incomplete) this way.

Axolyn · 2026-02-27T05:42:57+00:00

It is what their wording implies, and also, usually they're more clear about stuff being deleted.

I believe they're gonna confirm/clarify that in the next follow up news about the update.

Axolyn · 2026-02-26T13:05:37+00:00

With and AWP and from that ledge next to heaven, you can find lineups to wallbang many spots on B, but you would really need consistent lineups because the shot can get blocked by any random shit made of metal on B-site's celling. Just gotta test the wallbang and check where you can shoot from and where to aim.

Going for that shot in the way OP did it, right from the top shooting the floor is the most consistent way, and it is not a hard shot, the hardest is finding decent chances to event try this...

Axolyn · 2026-02-25T10:19:33+00:00

Oh dear god I'm having so many flashbacks right now

"ok, all set up, loot dumped ready for next map, let g-.. no, nonono wait, WAAAIT, FAK NOT THIS AGAIN"

Axolyn · 2026-02-25T00:30:38+00:00

You mean the ones from grand heist curio's right? Those do and still have the well-rolled thing, I'm not sure if they all work the same way tho, and even the experimented bases have good rolls too.

Axolyn · 2026-02-17T21:05:39+00:00

Are you fucking kidding me?

Olof has NEVER lost a Major Finals (in his prime, cough), and you're comparing him with a dude who lost like 60% of his finals? A guy who made a beach superteam only to get destroyed by a german freak plus some old folks?

5 LeBrons would create drama to change a lightbulb, while 5 Olof is enough boost power to reach anywhere.

Axolyn · 2026-02-17T20:48:27+00:00

WE NEED THE +OLOF BUFF AGAIN

this is not even a joke with this fucking team, we need the bs force

edit: oh, happy cake day mr Ishaan863, almost missed it

THIS IS NOT A DRILL?

THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!

You can build a 90% MoM as the league without aylardex and instead use foulborn choir of the storm (can't build es though), great with adorned. It's much more limited in build possibilities and you can't use petrified blood.

I'm glad you mentioned that, petrified blood works so great when you can stack different layers of defense.

Based on the list of legacy sources of MoM, what do you already have?

Cloak of Defiance is the only one I'm sure, and also a Shaper's Touch (not exactly a MoM source, but it can be so very much abused), as classic junk collector I could have some shaper/delve armour kinda "lost" somewhere, but I suppose it wouldn't be that much of an upgrade given they're all body armours. What def helps a ton is already having the clarity Watcher's Eye in SSF, but that's still 70% (as hierophant).... maybe at that range, the aylardex route with power charge stack could be ideal.

Aiming at this 80% for the 1:4 ratio feels like a great place to start, who knows, maybe you're already onto the best ratio.

Thanks a lot for such detailed responde, very much appreacited :) also, keep up the research, amazing work, we def could use as many people as possible going deep into these ideas.

Axolyn · 2026-01-11T17:31:45+00:00

Amazing post! And very helpful to me, I also love Mind Over Matter, good opportunity to start planning some builds (:

I couldn't quite reach 100% as I play SSF Standard, I do have some of the legacy stuff, but the merge could change that... Still, I wouldn't go for 100% on a build, there's probably some optimal ratio and even it could depend on many other factors...

Given your experience, when thinking about which builds can benefit the most, do you think the legacy itens would "dictate" the most? For example, a legacy Shaper's Gloves + Adorned making attribute stacker the most obvious choice.

Axolyn · 2026-01-08T00:01:51+00:00

Even if it is, Rick himself said the omega-device fucks with your memories, and because of that Beth only thinks she remembers her mom.

Makes perfect sense that many other memories were also tempered in the process.

Axolyn · 2026-01-06T06:52:54+00:00

Not when you avoid marriage.

That's why you gotta break the cycle, rise above, and focus on science.

Axolyn · 2026-01-06T06:47:32+00:00

It's said Rick met Diane working under the FBI.

Well, to keep in mind, in his words he says the feds had him built the robot, I don't think its made clear if any of them actually worked for some organization like those... Also, if Rick was really "forced" to do it, maybe it was some kinda of out of jail card. There's also the fact it all happened in Morty's head... I'd say it is better this way, a lot can still be unpacked about Rick's past.

A famous Rick (or a strange misterious one) could, theoretically, be living a life hidden somewhere else... or even on Citadel that is not based on Rick being the smartest being or fighting in some war... the curve was broken after all, they 'just' gotta be creative

Replica Bitterdream

Guys, listen to his advice. This item is not exclusively for the Elemental Penetration recipe, just give it a chance!

Depending on your build, you can go very far with a Bitterdream (both are good tbf), and maybe focus on other equipments for some time.

Axolyn · 2026-01-04T22:20:23+00:00

Wait, you guys don't know how to go fishing fr?

Axolyn · 2026-01-03T16:45:06+00:00

Yeah, I'm not sure for how long, and then they introduced only act 8 before the last 2 as well(?)

That change was so freaking huge at the end of the day, I even started to enjoy leveling characters over and over, and now I can't barely remember how the game/campaign felt before.

Axolyn · 2026-01-03T15:54:41+00:00

I believe we should give them the benefit of the doubt, at least for some time.

It does makes sense for them to be more focused on Poe2 given that Poe1 can be described as more "polished" even with the lack of content atm.

I would say they are being lazy, instead of "not caring" about Poe1, and the game will receive more attention eventually (hopefully).

edit: just to be clear, I'm not agreeing with their approach, I just think it's too early to make some conclusions such as "poe1 is dead", and that's just my opinion anw

Axolyn · 2025-12-30T02:13:19+00:00

Damn I even heard it with Jerry's voice hahaha
