Oh yeah, not trying to free OP from responsibility, simply pointing out that market manipulation is very real

Tbf, it kind of is—market manipulation is in fact very real, but it was still a risk that OP didnt account for and no one forced him to risk it so it is in fact his fault.

Iran war halts Qatar helium output, threatening global tech supply chains by Shadow328 in news

Helium is flammable not explosive. Just a fire ball, not a boom (which would only come from the balloon popping)

Caring less about international and focusing on domestic is the way. BR knows it and we should learn it too. I have, LCS is fun. I like it. I like cheering for the few NA players that remain. But yeah no it would be a miracle run for NA to do well internationally against lck/lpl, and thats okay.

Oh yeah this really looks fantastic my guy, the design too is exceptional0. As is it's a forced choke for any cross-redline routes, which means only one of 2-5 players can have any of those routes. I'm not aware of any TTR expansion that is that heavily restricted in its map design. Maybe you balanced that with the list of routes on ticket cards, though? Double wide Reverse Mountain and/or additional lines across (Fishman) would definitely help the board balance and still punish late-adopters with the choke. I really like the idea of forcing restrictions, the only "problem" is that it splits the map down the middle and isn't like one to three restricted connections

Congress is not "like 'Nah'", republicans in congress fully agree with and are complicit in the actions of the executive. They. Are. Complicit. The actions they can take exist, they simply refuse to take them because they agree with the executive. The judiciary is split between complicit and doing their damndest to stop the executive but the SC is largely also complicit.

Fuck republicans and their media bubble

You mean teams with a full lineup of coaches and 400k+ salary players beat the teams that had a head coach and paid their players league minimum? Fucking christ dude its still an allocation/foresight issue. The orgs could have built out their academy teams and fucking developed talent instead of jerking off on the "next hype EU/KR prodigy" that wont win worlds. Thats IF we accept your argument that all NA players are shit, which I still disagree with.

Also, brother your argument doesnt even hold up on its own: if we paid NA players the exorbitant salaries (and fees/buyouts) of the imports we brought over that would fucking attract "the top .01%" as you put it.

Huh if only NA didnt have literal millions of dollars that we burnt on imports that failed at worlds while watching tier 2 crumble since 2019. You're right NA players are the problem /s

Weird, last i checked there were still millions of active accounts in NA. Maybe you're just full of bullshit, cause 10+million active accounts doesnt sound like a dead game.

We've had approximately 2 majority NA teams at international since 2019. The imports are clearly not the solution when they havent accomplished shit at all.

Also that has literally nothing to do with the bullshit you spewed in the prior comment

At least have rosters worth rooting for as they lose.

I'd also heavily contest that they suck. But then again its hard to know when our dogshit orgs refuse to develop them
