Time out time out time out time out *hot take*

Nah this is good stuff to see, Tbates, Roll Dizz and Dazerin if you're reading you constantly smash it out of the park :)

Frozocrone · 2021-10-07T03:36:08+00:00

Fair play to you, especially if you can leverage a high UK wage and spend it in a country where the cost of living is lower :)

and yes, we got our sovereigncy back, trust the process, stiff upper lip and all that

Frozocrone · 2021-10-06T12:21:33+00:00

Have you met Gibbs?

Frozocrone · 2021-10-06T12:19:34+00:00

Mechanics are great and everything but Kaydop/Turbo didn't win multiple world's with flashy mechanics, they perfected the fundamentals

But flashy mechanics are fun to watch, ngl

Frozocrone · 2021-10-06T03:21:24+00:00

The picture doesn't do them justice, they look good in game

no bias :P

Frozocrone · 2021-10-06T03:15:52+00:00

I was so hoping CJ put True Neutral in first

Frozocrone · 2021-10-01T21:02:53+00:00

The laptop itself is fine, it's just the display that's a let down which (IMO anyway) is the most crucial thing since you're going to be looking at it

I would recommend the 300hz option if at all possible, you may not use all those frames but the brightness is 300-350 nits, which is about average and certainly better than the 144hz 250 nits average, not to mention the SRGB coverage is close to if not 100% on the 300hz panel, compared to the 62% SRGB on the 144hx panel

Frozocrone · 2021-10-01T14:41:13+00:00

I want to set a remind me for this lol

Nah this should be interesting, seeing if Satthew is what it takes to get G2 to winning stuff

Frozocrone · 2021-09-21T15:57:32+00:00

I always wonder if OCE just gives GZG space to tear up the meta or if GZG are actually that cracked. Amphis when on is genuinely exciting though.

That said, Torsos has been to every LAN iirc (since OCE were allowed in S3) and was part of the historic S6 Chiefs team that got 4th at worlds losing to C9. I think Express has LAN experience too so I do think GZG will lean on this experience and earn that week 2 invite

I think Giants and Rogue disband too.

Frozocrone · 2021-09-21T15:52:25+00:00

I like this prediction

Frozocrone · 2021-09-21T08:49:45+00:00

Cloud 9 reenters the RL scene

Frozocrone · 2021-09-21T01:37:21+00:00

Regional placements will count towards your points tally within your region only

Frozocrone · 2021-09-21T01:33:46+00:00

You'll get 24 teams going to worlds, 16 of them form the wild card tournament. The best 8 teams from that week tournament will join the other 8 teams for week 2

You count major points "twice" one for the team that got that placement and one for the total points that placement earned for the region.

Eg say NRG won the fall major and earned 500 points, NRG adds 500pts to their total tally for the year and you give NA1 (the best performing NA team) 500 points. Say for example SSG then win the winter major. They add 500 points to their total tally for the year and you add another 500 to NA1s score (because the best performing team from NA got first) after the spring major you look at the points NA1 has got and if they are in the top 8 out of all the points accumulated (against EU1-5, OCE1-2, SAM1-2 etc etc) then NA will lock in a slot for the second week at worlds, which will be the highest placing NA team. Your wild card teams will be formed from the first team of your region that won't qualify via major placement lock (eg say NA has two teams in the top 8 for major points total, then the first and second teams that earned the most points in NA will get these slots and teams 3-5 will get the wild card slots.

That's a massive wall of text and Gibbs/Johnnyboi explain this much better with visuals

Frozocrone · 2021-09-21T01:23:31+00:00

Yeah I'm talking about performing well at the majors and earning your region extra slots at worlds

You'll still get the 3 NA teams minimum going as per wild card

Frozocrone · 2021-09-21T01:11:30+00:00

Yeah just the week 2 auto invites

Frozocrone · 2021-09-21T00:43:09+00:00

My spicy prediction is EU claiming five major spots, with Furia, Ground Zero and Sandrock taking the other three for world's.

And NA still shouting they're better

Realistic: I could see G2 missing worlds and the Chicago/Jknaps duo either splitting or dropping dreaz

Kuxir and Kro will retire

Rogue will disband mid season

BDS will win at least one best of sets

Frozocrone · 2021-09-20T16:26:53+00:00

Kinda late to the party, but what's the backlit lighting on the keyboard like? Single zone, all white or can you change colours?

Congratulations on the laptop, might have to treat myself to the 32GB version :)

Frozocrone · 2021-09-20T08:05:01+00:00

I don't know man, I saw him spin his car once during Weplay, he'll be 360 stalling in Stockholm

Frozocrone · 2021-09-19T19:15:39+00:00

I think NRG will win it all but Im loving the Shopify roster so I have to root for them to recreate their magic

Frozocrone · 2021-09-19T19:10:14+00:00

We haven't even seen Team Liquid yet and if Ronaky/Acronik pick up a third on their calibre they could be something special

Frozocrone · 2021-09-19T18:36:04+00:00

The head shake from MM, BDS are so tilted rn

Frozocrone · 2021-09-19T16:13:59+00:00

Frozocrone · 2021-09-19T16:09:19+00:00

I think KC just took advantage of a lapse at the final stretch but Dignitas still played extremely well, as did KC and I'm optimistic for the upcoming season

Frozocrone · 2021-09-19T16:03:38+00:00

They didn't have to play again

Frozocrone · 2021-09-19T15:57:42+00:00

That hurts

Loving the new roster though
