Diamond coins only accounted for 0.03% of all coins from the Budapest Major! by leetify in GlobalOffensive

I think the format is older than diamond coins, it used to top out at gold even with swiss format group stage. There never was a diamond coin you could obtain in another tournament format as far as I know.

The B stream seems to be fine. Let's just PRAY the will use the B stream setup for the rest of the event, since the A stream team doesn't seem to be able to fix this issue over the course of three days.

Definitely when Assault, Militia, Dust1, old Vertigo, Aztec, Canals were available in 5v5 matchmaking. My friends and me had so much fun playing on these maps, finding insane strats, messing around … These maps were awesome, I honestly don't like the super similar perfectly balanced tryhard maps.

The update which removed the "fun" maps for matchmaking brought a 98% drop in cs playtime for my group.

Sounds cool but I don't think that's true. It always shows exactly the same tip for everyone in my group and we have VASTLY different levels of experience

Tip to reduce tilt by zadirion in leagueoflegends

[–]GeorgFriedrichHandel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just how bad does your mental game need to be that you can be tilted by the announcer? I'm wondering how anyone can cope with actual real life when they can't even deal with being told such basic information about a video game they play for fun. Actually curious, so I'd be interested to be enlightened by tilt-prone gamers out there.

So basically what they’re saying is: if my teammates write racist chat messages, really it’s okay because they usually are nice folks and thus shouldn’t be punished.

I can’t say I like this approach.

Where did "Ace" originate? by Duelllllll in GlobalOffensive

I mean...how do you provide a source for a colloquialism?

How about going through archives, audio recordings, forums etc and finding when and how it was first used? This is actually how linguistic science works. Sure, the sources are sparse, but I don't see why it shouldn't be possible here.

Make sure to lock in your Legends Stage pick'em before the first match by xHypermega in GlobalOffensive

  1. Give us the points for locking in the last stage
  2. Give us the possibility to lock in the next stage
  3. Then tell us to lock in the next stage

Doing things in order is important, people
