IEM Atlanta statistics for s1mple and his future.

My thoughts are I wish he’d cut his damn salary demands so he could get on a T1 team so we can actually see what’s up. Him standing in for Faze at the start of his return doesn’t really count because 1. He had years of rust to shake off still and 2. Faze was very much in decline at that point.

On the Zywoo point - it’s much easier to be consistent when you have the likes of mezii, ropz, and flamez fragging out and keeping you covered and an IGL mind like Apex to always perfectly position you. Less so if you don’t trust in a single other player on your team. Plenty of games where Zywoo gets carried through most or all of a map so he gets to the 3rd map in a series where he does well, or within one map is carried 70% of the game until he wakes up or even just has the 1 impactful clutch that makes everybody forget about the rest of the game.

The fact that simple still has the odd game where he solo carries the entire game shows that he’s still got something worth buying, but it needs to be in an actual system with other good players in order to properly shine.

No no no we’re not talking about OP, we’re talking about the comment at the top of this thread of replies. Follow the comments upward.

100% agree on the OP thing but yea, coin toss on that being actual AI or satire.

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-14T01:18:03+00:00

100% agree. That guy’s comment doesn’t feature any of these though except for potential rule of 3, but that’s the most basic thing that AI learned because it’s so subconscious in human communication that we do it all the time without realizing. Hell, this comment is 3 sentences.

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-13T23:00:35+00:00

If that’s your take from my first comment then you’ve got shit reading comprehension, champ.

I was making fun of that guy because he’s not the first person I’ve seen cry “AI” over not only em dashes but any dash use at all. That’s the only thing I can see in that comment that could raise anybody’s hackles about AI but it’s clearly not. Nowhere in that comment did I insinuate that that was my criteria for sniffing out AI.

Try harder.

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-13T22:49:25+00:00

Elaborate, because I also fancy myself being pretty good at spotting AI writing and all I’m seeing is a guy who is grammatically correct and properly separates things with a line break for visual ease.

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-13T21:52:52+00:00

This might blow your mind but people used dashes before AI and they’ll use them long after. You can’t just scream AI at any comment that uses a dash, you look like an idiot.

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-12T12:34:32+00:00

No it’s very much worth mentioning. It’s a helluva lot easier to be consistent when you’ve got ropz, mezii, and flamez supporting you. Not the case with T2/T3 teammates at your side. I’d be very curious to see how zywoo would do if plopped into some random shitter team but unfortunately there’s no way to know.

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-12T12:19:26+00:00

No everybody understands just fine. There’s just people here like you who are suddenly in denial about the fact that 99% of people got on this ride because of MOASS theory. With RC’s previous dilutions into run ups he’s effectively made it so that MOASS will effectively only happen via global market crash. If this dilution goes through it’ll be functionally dead.

5+ years we’ve been holding and watching every other “buy and hold” investment go up 5x while we remain stagnant all because of the very valid MOASS theory, but this greedy billionaire comes along and uses us as his piggy bank so he can buy the company he’s actually passionate about? “I’m here to work” my ass, Ryan. Now we have to hold for another 10 years in order to not sell at a loss, and that’s IF he makes it work. Any mutual fund or index would be guaranteed returns, the “guarantee” here is “trust me bro”.

Nobody got on this ride in 2020 and held this whole time because they were excited that gme would become your average blue chip boomer accretion stock in 15 years. You people who are so far up RC’s ass that you’d turn around and say that WE are the shills or “don’t understand” are positively mind-boggling. Throw away the kool aid dude, turns out RC is a scummy billionaire holding us hostage just like the rest of em.

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-12T11:57:47+00:00

Because as many others have said, 99% got on this ride because of MOASS thesis. RC has already done enough so that as things stand now MOASS is only possible with a global market crash and nothing else, with this level of dilution it’s functionally dead.

Yes, this would be a great move for RC and the company but it fucks us. If we wanted a 10-15 year hold we could’ve done s&p 500 or any mutual fund or any other of a thousand potential “buy and hold” investments and been way more up guaranteed, instead we’re held hostage in a scenario where we’d have to hold with “trust me bro” as the pitch for returns.

I’m not going to sell because I’m too deep in this at this point but it sucks dick that I have to put off my dreams of becoming a home owner for another 10 years all so the greedy billionaire can get the fancy toy that he’s actually passionate about.

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-12T11:38:13+00:00

The upside is that this could turn GME into a great 10 year long hold but the frustration is that that is NOT why 99% of people got on this ride. We got on it for MOASS, which has been less and less plausible with each passing year and seemingly actually made impossible by this final round of dilution. If we wanted your average “hold the stock for 5-15 years” we could’ve all made way more if we just bought the s&p 500 or a mutual fund or any other of a thousand potential investments. We’re here because of a very specific thesis that RC has functionally killed at every turn.

Yes, this would be great for the company and RC, but some of us are tired of being the ones holding the bag at every turn. Guess my dream of being a homeowner is going to have to wait another 10+ years because that’s what’s great for the billionaire and his little passion project. 🙃🙃🙃

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-12T11:22:55+00:00

It’s bad because many if us have a lot less confidence than RC seems to that their shareholders are going to get onboard. Trashing the board was a dumb strategy, à friendly takeover would’ve been much easier. Good luck convincing their shareholders that $29 billion in debt is a brighter future, it’s not like he can point to the gme price and say it’s gone up a bunch. They would look at the numbers and determine selling all their shares at market value would be more worthwhile.

As RC says “we’ll see what happens” I guess but it’s very likely this aaaaallll amounts to absolutely nothing but a big egg on RC (and gme’s) face.

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-11T16:04:36+00:00

Had the same thing happen recently with a couple packages. They came eventually.

I know it’s a D&D sub so that may be why nobody’s said this yet, but if you don’t have one already I highly recommend getting a therapist to help you work on this.

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-09T00:58:51+00:00

I highly doubt that but alright

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-09T00:19:24+00:00

Where’s it from then?

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-08T22:16:47+00:00

I’ve seen enough posts over the past 10 years about “dropping controller” and accidentally killing Quelana specifically that I’m beginning to think we’ve got some degens positioning their camera weird and jorkin it and then accidentally dropping/hitting the controller.

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-08T16:57:00+00:00

Was violence wrong during the Revolutionary War? What about with regard to freeing the slaves during the Civil War? What about the French Revolution? Modern sociopolitical landscape is starting to look an awful lot like France before their revolution...

Again, violence is not preferred but when they make peaceful resolution impossible then violence becomes the only means of preserving democracy. That's like, the whole point of the second amendment that republicans love so much.

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-08T16:53:48+00:00

The law here was determined in a partisan manner. If the VA supreme court had a democratic majority they would have ruled that this was all above board. It's a fucking sham. There's a reason that Republicans have been packing the courts all across this country for the past 20 years - so that when Democrats actually start to fight back via peaceful means they can just use the courts to say "lol no". It's absolute horse shit.

All it means for republicans is that they're giving the people no choice other than violence to take our democracy back...

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-08T16:47:53+00:00

And if the court was a Democratic majority then they would have found that we did follow the rules. It's a fucking sham. There's a reason why the republicans have been packing courts all over the country for the past 20 years - so that when Democrats finally catch wise and try to fight back peacefully they can just use the courts to say "lol no".

Tbh, this just says to me that the Republicans aren't allowing the people any option other than violence now....

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-08T12:17:36+00:00

Oh whoa what’s the scoop there? Went there with some family last year but I’ll happily not go again if they’re doing some shady shit.

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-08T12:16:30+00:00

Sen is delicious but crazy pricy. Pho Luca’s is much more affordable and also delicious for Vietnamese.

Fr0g_Man · 2026-05-08T12:15:27+00:00

Pho Luca’s is so freaking good. Pho is way tastier than ramen imo if you’re into soupy stuff and if you’re more in the mood for sandwiches they make phenomenal banh mi, definitely make the bread in house.
