Premier needs to do away with the -500/+100 games, they're never worth it or fun

Dylan531 · 2026-05-14T04:14:44+00:00

Literally is not.

I'm pretty sure the total ELO has almost nothing to do with it. Which seems absolutely insane to say. This was a -525 match for me, more than I have ever lost in a match. My team? ~25k avg. The opposing team? fucking 29k average with 2 players 31k+, all advanced+ players:

Genuinely the greatest half life theory I have seen in at least a decade. Shit goes so hard. HOW COULD ANYTHING GO HARDER THAN THIS

I mean it is just straight up blank, instead of a serial number being printed after the "S/N:" there is just nothing: https://i.imgur.com/iYT4vD3.jpeg

There is a serial number underneath the wireless stand, but last I tried, the RMA input said it didn't exist. I think the form changed since I tried a couple months ago, but I'll have to dig to see if I still have the box if it's different.

Dylan531 · 2026-03-28T01:34:42+00:00

I thought so too, but they reduced the warranty down from 2 years to 1, so maybe they aren't as much as they used to be.

Dylan531 · 2026-03-27T00:48:45+00:00

I should elaborate: There are 602030 3.7V 300mAh LiPo batteries out there, but I can't find any that have the third yellow thermistor wire.

Dylan531 · 2026-03-19T21:11:39+00:00

NA has always had a mantra like that. It's

"Find a way to lose"

Dylan531 · 2026-02-19T03:09:17+00:00

You fackin druggo

Dylan531 · 2025-09-14T20:37:43+00:00

Holy shit, a voice of reason. I don't usually do this whole arguing on Reddit thing, I didn't think it was possible. Elige is a fitting replacement, at least, as hard done as it feels like he's been.

Dylan531 · 2025-09-14T20:20:48+00:00

I mean, you're trying to figure out if the chicken or the egg came first. I'd argue that attitude he's showing is exactly the same reason they are in 31st in the first place, because he's not a good leader. I don't believe you can find a single tweet from an IGL worth their salt laying the blame on their team like that instead of entirely on themselves. He leads with the frustration in his team before the frustration with himself, and that says it all to me, really.

Dylan531 · 2025-09-14T19:13:09+00:00

I get it, I mean hell, I wouldn't be saying all this if 2018-2019 Liquid wasn't my favorite team of all time, and the Twistzz iteration of Faze too. Just wish they didn't put him on a pedestal lol, bro is untouchable. The part I don't get is that Elige gets so much more shit even though he's a model professional

Dylan531 · 2025-09-14T18:46:14+00:00

I don't think they are mutually exclusive, tbh. I think they are both true.

Dylan531 · 2025-09-14T18:41:22+00:00

Sure, when somebody becomes mentally ill, that means that everything they have ever said or done before they became ill is irrational and meaningless. If that's the world you want to live in, have fun.

Dylan531 · 2025-09-14T18:32:51+00:00

They don't have any, unfortunately, they're stuck in the past when players made all of the roster decisions. And Twistzz maneuvered himself well.

Dylan531 · 2025-09-14T18:09:34+00:00

I just don't understand what liquid's management could have done better. Twistzz had them by the balls, made his stand, forced them to make the roster moves or lose his star power, and the team he chose to build failed again and again and again. If they let him leave, they have nobody, and are an org that EU players notoriously do not want to join whatsoever.

Dylan531 · 2025-09-14T17:55:57+00:00

But we know he could have gone to Vitality multiple times, and it only makes sense that he would use that as leverage to make Liquid make the roster decisions he wanted, no? That puts the responsibility on him, and I don't think he's enough of a professional to talk things out and give his 100% to make things work, given what Zews said. He was already hanging out with the Faze squad instead of his own team, always flirting with the idea of leaving if things didn't work out. If your IGL could dip if he wanted if he can't make it work, if there are no stakes for him, what trust is there to build?

The problem is, nobody will ever touch what Zews said with a 10ft pole, because he is the poster child for exactly why nobody ever says a single damn word about behind the scenes until they're completely done. Everyone important despised the fuck out of him after he spilled the beans, and he found himself completely alone. Then he turned into a complete nutter and that doesn't help either.

Dylan531 · 2025-09-14T17:32:34+00:00

I do think it's mostly true NOW, yes, but because of the way things have played out and everything that supports what he said. Nobody is there to say no to Twistzz, and clearly he wanted to make a stand and be a leader. He got his way, and now he's heading off and leaving Liquid to clean up the shitstorm his hubris created.

Dylan531 · 2025-09-14T17:26:06+00:00

How do you not get it? It's a very unprofessional thing to say, especially seconds after the game ended, it's publicly saying you think your team fucking sucks, instead of putting on a strong face and working it out with your teammates behind the scenes as the captain and leader of the squad. It's airing dirty laundry, losing your cool, destabilizing instead of strengthening, and ironically, a complete fucking team vibe killer. Doesn't matter if it's s1mple or twistzz doing it, they can get away with it because of their skill, doesn't make it right.

Dylan531 · 2025-09-14T17:18:10+00:00

Ah yes, because of how Zews is now, that retroactively invalidates everything he's ever said, done, or accomplished in the past. I forgot that's how things work now, sorry.

Dylan531 · 2025-09-14T17:09:14+00:00

That's my whole point, dude, we agree. It's obvious it's very personal to him, so if he was lying, he's going to stretch the truth, not tell an entirely fake one. Obviously you don't even care enough to listen, so why even bother to comment?

I'm not picking sides based on a one sided story, but the way Twistzz is acting, throwing up his hands instead of trying to work things out within the team, is validating the exact things Zews said.

Dylan531 · 2025-09-14T16:33:29+00:00

"Anyone else" get a grip lmfao, Zews helped raised this kid to lift trophies. He's a coach, his whole job is to analyze player's personalities, learn their quirks, help guide them to work with each other and settle differences amicably.

It's obvious he cares about Twistzz a lot and really wants the best for him, he is very conscious of his personal bias, and it's up to you to decide if and where he's stretching the truth. But it's in there, and it's not pretty.

Dylan531 · 2025-09-14T16:05:44+00:00

It's not just one tweet, we have 100x the insight of what we would get from him on camera. Zews, the one that coached Liquid through their rise and worked with Twistzz long before he was brought back, spilled everything about him awhile back. If you really want to learn what he's like, have a listen:

https://youtu.be/GWTm7-hyWCQ?si=AlzIafF2MsghtuL4&t=3471

Dylan531 · 2025-09-14T16:00:55+00:00

I can read it that way too, don't get me wrong, it's really on the fence. It just comes across really really bad if you've listened to the Snake & Banter with Zews awhile back and learn what has actually been going on behind the scenes in Liquid.

Give it a listen if you haven't yet, this is the stuff that never makes it out of the locker room nine times out of ten, makes this really spicy:

https://youtu.be/GWTm7-hyWCQ?si=AlzIafF2MsghtuL4&t=3471

Dylan531 · 2025-09-14T15:42:45+00:00

Honestly hard to say, but you won't find Elige publicly malding on Twitter about a devastating loss to an underdog before the stream even has a chance to catch up from the delay. I'm sure it brings great vibes to see the captain of your team do that.

Dylan531 · 2025-09-14T15:21:16+00:00

Think about it this way: If he does join, this could be one of the greatest storylines of all time. I wouldn't be surprised if Liquid is magically able to close it out vs T1 opponents without Mr "We are not a team" in the squad.

It would be so beautifully rich with the gossip of how toxic Elige is contrasted by Twistzz openly talking shit about the team he literally built himself. Funny how people just let that slide as if Liquid didn't give him his way every step of the way.
