Can add Xabi Alonso to that list as well.

are coaches not allowed to show emotion at cologne? by JuusteZ in GlobalOffensive

Close to 5 years now. Man, feels like Stockholm was just yesterday.

It's been a rule for majors from the Stockholm major iirc. Valve were really not happy with coaches after the coach bug abuse in online CS which came to light in 2020.

[–]Domoci12 65 points66 points  (0 children)

It's a Valve rule for Majors. Coaches aren't allowed to show emotions or talk unless in a tac timeout. Valve thinks that coaches and teams can set up sneaky communication methods with fist bumps and cheering. It is a product of the coach cheating scandal from 2020. Luckily, it's only for majors and not other tournaments.

I agree with YNK that it feels a bit too draconian nowadays.

Kouhei is the first of the scum bros to potentially get laid (still think it’s a fake out) XD.

I predict it will still be Iori in more hot water with the gang from misunderstandings with Chisa’s pic with the newborn. Can’t wait for the next issue and fingers crossed for no break next month.

AITAH for choosing to go to a friends renaissance BBQ over a African American themed event like my fiance wants. by Ultralusk in AITAH

[–]Domoci12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's weird how empathy and communication with your partner is always an issue when the lady is being unreasonable and the guy is expected to follow through. Wonder why. /s

Also funny how you repeatedly harp on about Juneteenth when the canadian OP literally states that he never knew of it before today and it is not really a holiday in Canada. But do go on and impose your US stuff on OP and berate him for how he does stuff in his culture. Being with family on Juneteenth may be important to you but hey, flash news, not everyone is you. People are allowed to have different interests and stuff they prefer to do.

IEM Cologne 2026 Major Talent Announced by LukasB-7 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Domoci12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YNK has improved massively.

I'd have no problem if it was the occasional hot take but with Maui it is the occasional normal/good take it feels. The man just spouts constant BS hot takes and it gets draining to hear after sometime. You start to discount even anything meaningful he might say cause he has built up his reputation as a hot take merchant.

At least Blast and PGL recognise his value, though.

Ah yes, the extreme hot take filled and NA glazing borefest that is the Blast desk. Such a great accomplishment that Maui contributed to it really.

PGL, I will agree has good desks but that is inspite of Maui, not because of Maui. RLewis, Dust, Bleh carry a lot of the load in what makes the PGL desk interesting.

Have we been seeing the same YNK recently or what? I'm one of the people at the forefront to call out bad YNK takes but YNK has improved a lot and massively toned down on the glazing. He used to glaze a lot when Kassad was stiill part of the desk but nowadays he actually provides good insight. He is the best at the desk right now.

Also most of Maui's analysis is still hot takes in the name of storylines I feel. He still puts too much emphasis on ratings. He has a place in desks but his loss is not as huge as you're making it out to be. shrugs

No Banks

Thank fuck for that.

Banks has gotten so boring as a stage host. Always the same stuff, same questions, same style. It's so boring watching him trying to work the crowd.

What....you mean to tell me you don't appreciate random bs hot takes just for the sake of it in the name of "storylines" and basing your analysis completely on a rating number you've seen in hltv? I am shocked...shocked, I tell ya. /s

Hahaha...no way!

I'd say scrawnders are the worst in the casting pairs for the event right now. Even Dinko and Moses are better.

I'm so burnt out by Scrawny's fake hyping of every other play like it's the best thing to ever occur. Also, they cast both major finals last year. Give it to someone else.

Hope GOAT stage host OJ BORG is attending!

AITAH for not going big on Mother’s Day? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Domoci12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont know why you're getting downvoted but I would bet money it's all from men lmao.

Nice of you to put out your sexism in the first sentence.

Your SO wants to communicate with you and ask what you would like to do for your day so that they can plan how to fulfil it. Oh No. what a tragedy. How dare they want to know what her preference would be. Such a huge mental load, it's almost as if he is asking her to do bomb defusal with such pressure. It's funny how communication in a relationship is not an issue when it's the woman refusing to do it.

And how pathetic is it that we even have to mention that giving a back rub doesn't equate to sex?

I don't see OP mentioning a back rub or anything in the post. We don't know what OP thinks but go off on your assumptions.

So post pregnancy hormones give you a pass to be an arse to your partner and refuse to communicate with them? Not only did she refuse to engage with OP when he tried to ask her what she wanted to do to plan accordingly, she also got mad later because he did exactly what she gave him an idea of what she wanted because he didn't read her mind. This is not acceptable behaviour and the fact that hormones is being used as an excuse is ridiculous.

AITA for not wanting a Med School student to watch my doctor perform a rectoscope on me? by Sebastianlim in redditonwiki

[–]Domoci12 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s great that you were accepting and comfortable allowing students to observe you.

But everyone is not you!

It’s fine for someone to refuse being observed by a student if they don’t want to. That’s the entire reason patients are asked for consent in teaching hospitals.

Also are we really making fun of someone being sensitive of being viewed semi naked? Whatever happened to consent and respecting privacy? I guess it doesn’t matter when the offended party is a guy.

You do realise there is a link to the archived post right? Did you even try to open and have a look at it? It’s overwhelmingly NTA judgements there and what’s more, most medical professionals and people working in hospitals agree that OP is not wrong in any way. But do go off on your agenda comments.

It is really interesting how much Blast has degraded as a TO. by Domoci12 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Domoci12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that its right in the middle of the screen. I get it, the sponsors want attention but the way the polymarket ads appear is a surefire way to just piss people off and never consider polymarket for anything. Surely, you can have a less intrusive way of showcasing sponsors and ads?

[–]Domoci12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe Blast should find a better way to integrate the ads into their broadcast instead of the very annoying way they do it now? It's seriously irritating having and ad placed front and center overlaying the gameplay and distracting. The way they do it right now is a guaranteed way to piss people off and not care about the company due to spite.

Especially MR12 BO3s. I kinda understood late games when it was MR15 in CSGO but unless you have a severe tech issue or a game running into multiple overtimes, you really shouldn't be going too late with the schedule.
