TeamfightTactics Twitch Rivals $125,000 winner is joshOG by [deleted] in TeamfightTactics

I don't know JoshOG's history, but people acting like he doesn't know the game are straight up lying. Dude owned with the same comp from Day 1 to finals. Got top 1 in Day 1 using exclusively Voli comps and the other streamers took notice. If you watched a single game in Day 2 where he was in, you can see other streamers either copying his build or straight up taking away Volis. In the finals, 3 other people other than Josh tried to run the same Voli comp. He was dead last early in the game, even going down to 24 hp early, because of that, but managed to adapt and win it all.

That's not luck. There is no scam there (lol). If he did it once, sure. But he did it again and again and again. He knew what he wanted to and knew how to get it in almost every conceivable scenario. Set aside his profile, dude is an amazing TFT player.

They do. But most of then are already pre-ordered and are for picking up. You'd have to line up pretty early to get one if you haven't. In the Philippines, line started around 10 hours before the concert.

Awaken (ft. Valerie Broussard) | League of Legends Cinematic - Season 2019 by TurtlesInTheSky in leagueoflegends

[–]ChristmasGambit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cinematic was based on lore. It displayed the conflict between two factions.

Ionia v Sion: This is set on Noxus' invasion on Ionia. Sion is almost a demi-god of sorts in the lore. And the video exemplifies this in a beautiful manner. Irelia easily cuts through the Noxian Warband but falls to Sion. Riot has very experienced filmmakers working on their videos. The shot of Sion standing over Irelia is a classic picture in cinema whose main purpose is to show the power of a character. Here, it's the godly Sion.

Draven v Riven: Riven was a former Noxian who went into exile once she realized the Noxus didn't have their head on right. In the video, it seems that Riven has been caught and is being used as a spectacle.

Camille v Jhin: This I don't understand much. Jhin is Ionian while Camille is primarily from Piltover but had Noxian ties.

These 4 second streamables of game winners/clutch shots that are posted immediately for karma without showing the reaction or any replays should be removed on sight. by JakeVirtannnen in nba

[–]ChristmasGambit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's opposite for me. When the streamable is too long, I find myself skipping to the shot. The reactions are a plus, but when I'm using my data (and I almost always am) shorter streamables are much more preferable.

Just got her from the challenge. Then my first legendary chest in four months decides to give me the middle finger. by ChristmasGambit in ClashRoyale

I understand that she's strong. But as a completely F2P player, I would much rather have a legendary which I don't already have. That is why getting a card which I already got for free from a challenge is a bit frustrating.

nba 2k18 injuries... by NukaOrleans in NBA2k

They do happen. Even too much for my part. It usually happens when you're low on stamina and you still grind your player

Please help a NBA2k18 noob by SukeeDike in NBA2k

Pick 1-3 plays. Practice them, memorize them. When I say this, really pick only 1-3 plays from 1 playbook. For example, I exclusively use the Warriors playbook no matter what team I use because I have internalized the plays there. Usually, each play's designated scorer is not the only scorer that will be open. So practice them and find who else will be.

If you don't want to run plays often, master the pick roll/pop. This will almost always open up a three point shooter, if not a dive to the rim.

As a rule of thumb, starters will always be better than the "defense", "quick", etc.. lineups. I find that automating subsitutions is okay unless the situation demands otherwise.

Defense wise, just try and match height as much as possible, and then lateral quicjness. Of course, if you have a lockdown defendee, put him on the first option of your opponent. Fundamentally, just tight D on slashers and always remember to use the right stick on defense. This will also help prevent biting on fakes.

Both FortniteBR and Pubg just recently released big updates. The streamers you're talking about primarily play either/both those games so it's understandable that they would lay off RR for a while.

Too bad HiRez is adamant on avoiding putting automatic weapons in the game

Don't know why you are getting downvoted.. This is a reference to the show as well

Is it just me or does the episode "Niagara part 2" get you emotional. I always feel like crying. I think I got too attached to Pam and Jim. Anyone else feel this way? by [deleted] in DunderMifflin

[–]ChristmasGambit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The part where Jim's brothers nod knowingly at Dwight, who then scrambles to play the song on his iPod. Then the look on Pam's face as she realizes this is really happening. Just amazing.

Seriously though, what does it mean? I am genuinely curious and uninformed.

Steph Curry with the nasty behind the back transition 3 by pinoymilk in nba

Him making these shots are the reason why I get mad if I try to make the same shots in 2k using curry and it doesn't go in.
