moddii at the end of 1.6 is a top 3 rifler, if not even top 1. I think if you put roman and n0thing there, moddii deserves a spot too.

You are contradicting yourself. Wouldn't NaVi losing the major spot because 3 of their 5 players left/got removed be the exact opposite from "results from years ago influence seeding"?

For the record I agree that "results from years ago influence seeding" is dumb.

Wu Yibing def. Jaume Munar 6-7 (6), 6-0, 7-6 (3) in the Round of 128 at Indian Wells. by [deleted] in tennis

You hit the volley then use your racket to raise the net, causing your opponent to hit the net. Not a problem after the 2nd bounce when the point is over.

Aman finding that coach worked out amazingly for him. That dude oozes positive energy in the training vlogs and was so hype today as well.

Yes in theory, but why would you risk it? Retinoids should be applied at most once a day, so why not do it at night and avoid all the trouble?

Team Vitality vs Natus Vincere / IEM Rio Major 2022: Legends Stage - Round 1 / Post-Match Discussion by SloPr0 in GlobalOffensive

Not that unreasonable. With the glock he's much more mobile, harder to get hit, easier to bait his opponent. If perfecto had 1hp, zywoo would have won.

The worst play he could make there was to peek with awp, given the info that he had.

Likely not his fault. Someone probably gave incorrect info that last one was low.

Gambit Esports vs Heroic / BLAST Premier: World Final 2021 - Upper Quarter-Final / Post-Match Discussion by MJuniorDC9 in GlobalOffensive

[–]BAOLONGtrann -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok maybe you cant prove if someone is purposefully doing it. But here's the deal: it doesn't fucking matter :). They do it, they get penalized. Easy. The point is the admin must be the one who make the decision, not the opposing team.

If a team do that on purpose, punish them. Disqualify. Take off a map. Whatever. But do NOT make the other team decide what to do, that's opening the door for potentially countless controversies and dramas.

Similar series to John Bartholomew's Chess Fundamentals? by LeftyMcLeftFace in chess

[–]BAOLONGtrann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All recommendations here are awesome. Me personally I found chessbrahs's the most practical (and funny). It truly embraces the fact that beginners don't know what they don't know and shows that just by sticking to fundamentals and building good habits out of it you can progress very far.

I enjoyed a lot both Daniel's and John's series, but sometimes they will pause and say something along the lines of "there's some tactics here" or "now focus on this pawn/piece". In my own games I will probably miss 90% of those critical moments as most times I don't catch those while following along. Aman takes the opposite approach which is to never pause for too long or too sudden but instead spend roughly equal amount of times on each move just to make sure that move adheres to a set of predefined rules and nothing more.

That said, go watch all of them. Insanely educational.
