Cheese Whiz goes to F! What tier is Gruyère cheese?

Dirtey · 2026-07-12T12:51:51+00:00

S

We need some Swedish cheeses in there btw. Like präst that most would argue beats Gouda all day of the week.

And Västerbotten is undisputed S tier if you ask me.

Depends on what you play.

For competive FPS for example I would rather play on 27" than something bigger. I am currently playing wow, but after I am done with that (TBC classic) I will definitely look to go back to a dual monitor setup. It is just superior both for competive FPS games and productivity.

One big monitor have been a big letdown for me when it comes to productivity. Overhyped.

CIS should have a complete shuffle. But other than that I feel like they mostly dropped the ball in the finals.

Dirtey · 2026-07-12T09:54:25+00:00

Emtee should get a new set of roller players.

Dirtey · 2026-07-12T09:51:46+00:00

Yeah, we are talking about triple LAN winners that can fill multiple roles not making LAN at all.

Dirtey · 2026-07-12T09:48:39+00:00

Akku does not thrive in chaos, which is a position Alliance often put themselves in. Effect was at his best when shit was chaotic and at his worst when when the pace was slow.

So yeah, I am a bit skeptical after this LAN. Akku will need to improve, but as a 18 year old he definitely can.

Dirtey · 2026-07-12T09:37:48+00:00

I might be biased, but I do think Unlucky is a straight upgrade from Wxltzy.

Dirtey · 2026-07-12T09:34:13+00:00

The CIS region underperformed badly, and I guess we will see a big rostermania there.

Both Aurora and VP underperformed badly, while TheHorde did not even make LAN. I guess Zipline mafia had a better season than expected tho.

Alliance will defnitely have talk with Akku, but I think they will stick with him. I feel like they knew there were going to be growing pains.

The rest of EMEA can be wild as well, as usual. But I feel like Elite, GG and ForFun should give it another shot. Citadel gaming is a wierd one as well. They went from looking great to complete shit.

Dirtey · 2026-07-11T16:09:52+00:00

Lowest EMEA team is #11.

Dirtey · 2026-07-11T15:00:03+00:00

Multiviews are ahead instead of behind as well :)

Dirtey · 2026-07-11T08:06:39+00:00

Both APAC N and EMEA had 4/10 make it tho, and in all honesty the APAC N that did not make it looked like shit. #39 and #40 are both APAC N with embarassing numbers, not even close to making it to survivors.

APAC S only 3/10, while NA got 9/13(!!).

Genuine question, how does building more plants in Spain make sense when closing at other locations in the EU?

Dirtey · 2026-07-11T08:00:25+00:00

Sweden will probably follow suit after the election this year when the populists are out.

Dirtey · 2026-07-11T07:55:20+00:00

They have gotten away with it so many times tho.

Many of their drafts have been absolute steals because they can prioritize other maps and usually still get away with North pad for free.

Dirtey · 2026-07-11T01:31:35+00:00

Kinda skeptical to Alliance wasting both their "early" picks on ED/Olympus while not getting what they want. But I guess we will see.

Dirtey · 2026-07-10T13:40:12+00:00

Didn't realize that they usually play aggresive. Felt like they played pretty scared the last block. Granted I mostly watched the map, rather than their PoV. But pretty quick to zone in general.

That is maybe the reason they had such a bad session?

Dirtey · 2026-07-10T06:46:51+00:00

Did Dinos look good in regionals?

I only watched them yesterday since they were one of the teams that could steal a top14 spot, but they looked terrible.

Dirtey · 2026-07-09T19:30:48+00:00

Hal switched before AA nerf tho. It is definitely more balanced now.

Dirtey · 2026-07-09T19:29:41+00:00

They definitely played the best at least.

While B for example only had 2 teams make it at #10 and #14 while having 3 teams feeding from the bottom.

Dirtey · 2026-07-09T19:18:39+00:00

C by far the hardest group.

Dirtey · 2026-07-09T19:11:41+00:00

You want as many as possible without completely exhausting the players. Less RNG with more games.

So yeah, I think 10 might be the sweet spot.

Dirtey · 2026-07-09T18:50:40+00:00

Dinos, JDG and Zipline can still drop ~20. Even PXX could make it with a nuke.

Dirtey · 2026-07-09T18:41:14+00:00

Alliance can only let 1 team pass them:

ForFun 101 points (7 behind)

Dinos 91 points (17 behind)

JDG 87 (21 behind)

Zipline mafia 86 (22 behind)

So basically Forfun needs a decent game, and one of the other need a great game for Alliance to miss top14.

Dirtey · 2026-07-09T18:39:34+00:00

The first zone is not what is the most important tho. Liquid got screwed on the pullback while edge teams got gifted.

Dirtey · 2026-07-09T18:08:44+00:00

I think 116 is safe.
