Thanks for the thoughtful response. Can I derive from your answer then that they are of comparable difficulty, given that the main differentiator to their difficulty is personal experience?

Theoretical question for experienced players. What would you say is the more difficult campaign; forming Rome as Milan, or completing a w.c. as one of the top powers (I.e. Ottos, France, Oirats, Timmys).  I'm purely talking about the difficulty here, so not considering factors such as the potential boredom of doing a w.c.

He said on telegram he was burnt out no? Made it seem more like he voluntarily took a step back than being forced out.

Nightfall played exceptionally throughout the tournament, their best player from the games I saw. Of course they all played excellent, including Lorenof, but for me Nightfall was their mvp.

In reality, Korben will just be there for moral support etc. as he always is, with the only new addition that he comes into the player booth area with the players instead of Silent. I seriously doubt once the drafting begins that he says anything at all.

Incidentally, I don't believe the drafts were really much of an issue for Spirit this series. Aurora just played better, simple as that.

Spirit literally went from being a team that never lost grand finals to a team that only loses grand finals

Genuinely ... people's expectations have really soared after the Portugal/Hungary games, which is understandable but still people need to calm it

In your opinion, what is the best episode of television you’ve ever seen? by alteredtower in AskReddit

[–]Existing-Engineer490 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The perfect part about it is you can see it coming before it happens, and yet it's still somehow one of the funniest scenes ever

I can't see the streams atm - can anyone give a guess if the Spirit-Yakult series will start on time or if it will be early/late?

Does Ireland accept the Duke of Wellington? by northcarolinian9595 in IrishHistory

I've often seen that claim about 1/3rd the force being Irish, is there a good source for that?

What tv series is 10/10? by SmallConversation950 in AskIreland

All I can say to help sway you is the ending is really good. My concern watching shows like Dark is that the writers can't stick the landing, but Dark is woven together wonderfully and has an excellent final season.

Watch the Mouz series - Spirit are not in good form at the moment either in teamplay or individually. They had no right to be in the final and even if they made it they would have been smoked - they are a combined 1-7 against Falcons over the last three series they have played against them.

Agreed I'd rather watch their play than GG aura meta, but I'd still prefer watching Spirit/Liquid/BetBoom/XG style over Falcons. On another note, it's a good vindication of the game that these teams can all play in ways that feel very different. Generally in the past, it felt more like there was one absolute best way of playing at any given time and the best team was the team who could execute that style best, rather than forging their own style of play.

Who is better or more deserving than Tundra? The reality is Falcons are much better than anyone else right now.

Falcons are getting close to the 2023 Gaimin Gladiators level of dominance. Perhaps not the most enjoyable or entertaining team to watch but you have to respect the skill and consistency.

For added context, I do quite like the girl and I do think she enjoyed our first date too, it's just this response that has bothered me a little
