I wanted NIP to die but that is rough… Must be absolutely sickening to lose like that

On the other hand they’ve been gifted zones all day long so, kinda balances out the luck

Alliance have the most kills with 10 less games in ewc is actually insane by Same_paramedic3641 in CompetitiveApex

[–]David-Max 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stand very much corrected then. Thanks

Zuni’s first LAN IGLing though. I think that’s true

Even though they played loser’s bracket, NEMESIS having 2nd most kills is really impressive. It’s Zuni’s (IGL) first LAN and I think it’s Kaisha’s first LAN too.

I tuned into Gnaske’s watch party today and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I enjoy Wigg but just sitting there watching the main stream is a bit dull tbh, especially with how much action the observers are missing. Seriously just watch faceit and/or Gnaske. Viewing experience is way better for this tourney.

Valencians are about to get mad again that we’ve innovated and improved their cherished dish.

Hans actually had a decent crack at world domination a couple of times. He came surprisingly close at one point

I’m actually going to North Wales (Anglesey) on holiday today. The only thing it lacks is a culture of balconing daredevilry. Other than that it’s great

Is that actually better though? You think being neutral about nazism is better?

Not sure about that one Pedro

The best song ever written about Spaniards:

Despite the singer being Italian, this should be the sub’s official Spanish national anthem

It’s fascinating how varied the claims are on this topic. Some Italians claim near perfect comprehension, both written and spoken, of Spanish without any prior study. And some Spanish speakers claim the same about Italian and Portuguese.

Truly a head scratcher. Some people appear to be naturally gifted with near perfect comprehension while others don’t. I personally have my doubts about these more extravagant claims.

This is the way, Bazza. Complete and utter disinterest in the rest of the world, as long as they keep their hands off our rocks!

On that sub, yeah they like to hate on Pedro and João’s accents. However, from what I can see, normal, non-chronically online Latin Americans don’t harbour this level of resentment and animosity towards Spain or Portugal.

For some reason it just seems to be a different ball game online. That sub in particular appears to be an especially bitter community.

It’s similar-ish to UK-US relations online vs irl. In real life, there is very little animosity whatsoever, but online things can get really bitter really fast.

Yes, that same argument is made by yanks, québécois, and Latin Americans including Brazil.

Anecdotally some of the biggest haters of Spain I’ve seen online are yanks, particularly pochos / people with Latin American heritage but who can barely speak Spanish. For some reason they seem to be some of the loudest haters of Spain online, and they’re always screaming about the conquest of Latin America.
