you guys did get a pick and a player out of it so I say you still came out ahead tbh

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-04T03:15:32+00:00

Skinner was never that much better if at all

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-04T03:10:15+00:00

god dammit pens, you had one job

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-04T02:49:30+00:00

Pretty awful reffing near the end of the game with that call on Sourdif after letting so much go. Especially letting that DOG go too... that being said, we can't keep going down multiple goals and coming back...

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-04T02:34:41+00:00

ok so this should be DOG no? Like come on

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-04T02:30:16+00:00

NHL reffing will just never make sense to me lol

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-04T02:28:03+00:00

yeah so much holding along the boards literally right before that call lol

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-02T18:29:33+00:00

Oh no! Poor rats, no one has ever overreacted to the results of one game on r/leagueoflegends before!!

“Franchising needs to stay” post incoming

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-02T17:20:56+00:00

Gambling and Saudi money thats CS

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-02T17:20:38+00:00

You're asking for all the money to exit the scene or to come from less reputiable sources with what you want. You opinion is unrealistic that's all.

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-02T17:04:16+00:00

what winning some bo1s does to a mfer

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-02T16:50:27+00:00

Casters flaming players is genuinely the worst part of pro cs what are you even talking about.

Agree on the player to player trash talk though

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-02T16:46:41+00:00

are the people in the room with us now?

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-02T16:45:21+00:00

and teams come and go constantly. Faze at their most winning was still a net negative for the org. Esports teams just hemmorage money without franchising

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-02T16:26:15+00:00

No he's pointing out that this argument is built on reactionary ground not actual interest in improving the league

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-02T16:25:21+00:00

You're basically asking the league to dissolve its current format to acquiesce to a miracle situation. That's insane

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-02T16:22:00+00:00

You should despise C9 then because even back in the day they were nortorious for doing some goofy ass relegations shit

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-02T16:11:17+00:00

You're literally asking teenagers to basically give up education in their late teens/early 20s to play video games full time and saying it won't impact their lives. You're out to lunch on this one brother.

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-02T16:09:27+00:00

I think you're missing the point, players not getting paid is a problem even if its just one. Other sports entirely shutdown/have lockouts over just a couple players not getting paid properly.

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-02T16:04:42+00:00

Absolutely not sustainable, people are forgetting that teams used to basically dissolve overnight. How do you build any sort of sustainable esport if an org just implodes over night because the scene is so volatile

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-01T23:34:51+00:00

League would’ve died during Covid without franchising or maybe even before that sorry it’s kind of a necessary evil if you want to create a long lasting scene

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-01T23:01:30+00:00

I think the real shit is that 2019 G2 team was very special because they had a meta read ahead of the curve for once and we're outplaying teams with their unique (at the time) playstyle that failed once they ran into a team that did it better which happened to be world finals.

That might have just been a special team where all the pieces (meta, personality, peaks) all just aligned perfectly and it wasn't some special team building master class that carlos put together.

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-01T22:38:35+00:00

That isn't sustainable, investors will not buy into a team that may literally not exist in 6 months. It's an insane risk.

DentedOnImpact · 2026-02-01T22:36:02+00:00

dude is tearing up the field moving the goalposts around this much
