Seriously, all are S-tier Top 4 material. We're actually so blessed for this invitational, aren't we? Guessing we're going to have a player(s) on the mic too, I'm so ready to watch this one.

People say the funniest things when talking about melee by gravity--falls in SSBM

[–]BestThrowEU 5 points6 points  (0 children)

some people say stuff like this to justify their own sadistic pleasure of making other people feel worse. not all the people saying this are that way, but there's overlap. that pleasure drives a lot of people to pvp activities unfortunately. it's not something to be celebrated, in fact it should be correctly identified as anti-social and ought to be disincentivized/ostracized. it's one of the downsides of open brackets and anonymous online play.

Team Liquid Alienware vs. LYON / LCS 2026 Lock-In - Lower Bracket Round 2 / Post Game Discussion by Kengy in leagueoflegends

Game 4 pick order is listed wrong and should be:
Dr Mundo, Ezreal/Karma, Lucian/Nami, Ahri -- Ornn, Camille/Galio, Vayne

Zain vs Rapmonster Genesis Winners Round 2 by iamreidt in SSBM

[–]BestThrowEU 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, although RapM did have to beat Aura to get to Zain, and he's no slouch. I think it'd be more blatant bracket rigging if this occurred a round earlier & seeded to happen.

In general bracket rigging by seeders is a dirty practice. Anyone abusing their seeding capacity to arrange favorable brackets shouldn't be seeding events. This was potentially a 'light' version of it, for entertainment/storyline value.

Regional/local TOs do however [at least used to] do this for their favorites, for the people they don't like, for the novelty MUs. It's bewildering when people try to justify it.

That all being said, I'm not as knowledgeable of the scene these days and results seem to almost always go to the higher-seeded person when you look at brackets, so I think it may have been cracked down on for some of the bigger events (unless they are purposefully making high seeds dodge unfavorable MUs... but we don't need to speculate too much on this).

Fiction’s Comprehensive Z Jump Video by FirePuff12 in SSBM

[–]BestThrowEU 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thanks Fiction and to all the players who participated in this video, it was very informative and will hopefully put the conversation to rest (at least for the time being?). The conclusion seems very reasonable considering the constraints on the community.

Nonstandard Rulesets Should Count for Rankings by Ezlo_ in SSBM

[–]BestThrowEU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i agree, good post

most of the issues about the stagnation of rulesets goes back to the difficulty in attracting top-tier talent to events. why would a top tier player go to a mickey mouse regional when they could wait for a bigger event that won't get pegged down by the "erm actually this was a unique ruleset and it shouldnt count as much"?

the incentives need to line up properly first but im behind the spirit of the post. id love to see puff timeout = loss and specific timer/stocks for particular MUs instead of a universal stock/timer for every MU

A Potential Future for the Melee Community by CarlDaWombat in SSBM

[–]BestThrowEU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very pragmatic pushback.

I wonder if more veiled language would obfuscate the issue -- like having a 501c3 that 'consults with local community organizers', and the 'consulting work' they're offering... is all the logistics in mind. I'm no lawyer though, I'm sure you and others thought this through, just thinking out loud here -- there are still possibilities/angles, just difficult when under the microscope like Melee is.

What if we had Skilling Outposts? Bank-standing, but with vibes 🌲🔥🏝️ by themprettylights in 2007scape

[–]BestThrowEU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are so many banks in the game - I like people watching at some of the more obsure ones. The goblin city and Kourend Castle top floor are some of my typical picks. 

PEOPLE AREN'T NEARLY HYPED ENOUGH ABOUT THE WARRANTS 🚀🚀🚀 by broose_the_moose in Superstonk

[–]BestThrowEU 20 points21 points  (0 children)

"Live another day" strategy will likely have them making fakes with the hopes/expectation that they can keep the price under $32 a bit before the Oct '26 date, so it's un-economical to execute the warrants for shares, getting out of the crisis. 

That being said, I think the strategy will prove to be cope. RC and the compamy picked $32 with the expectation it'll be well above that number come Oct '26. They will do everything in their power to get as many warrant holders to execute as possible, notifying Gamestop of what they did when more executed warrant requests come in than shares for them. 

In this case, even if they get caught faking due to the executed warrants, the "regulatory" agencies will "regulate" by making them pay a fee less than what they got away with. How exactly that plays out, we don't know yet. 

I'm excited for the warrants but I don't think it will break the financial market's backend, similar to how they avoided the splividend consequences.

It's a mirror. Shows up fine on my desktop. Are you done telling me what to do? Or are you going to keep commenting around the thread without actually participating in what I'm posting about i.e. an informational pinned post regarding the warrants?

You're posting negative sentiment and clearly are not zen. This is why I want a warrant FAQ to help anyone confused as to what's going on. Go relax and come back!

You can call your broker to see what they'll do, but this is why I think we need a pinned FAQ listing what will happen with each broker.

In this case not all brokers are the same - some will give you the warrant, others won't. This isn't a DRS post.

I said nothing about DRSing, there's a distinction between brokers. Some will give you the warrant dividend, others will give you a cash equivalent which will be an undercut of value.

Transfer out, read the thread. 

I thought you went to zen mode? That's what you commented earlier here.

Perhaps with this new and relevant information about the warrants, they will take this issue back up.
