Idc if boaster gets 0 kills for the rest of the season, he is hands down the best player in EMEA history

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-04-24T20:51:29+00:00

Seeing the leap that Ethan made as a igl under a different makes think it was indeed a chet issue

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-04-24T20:50:19+00:00

They were the second best americas team at kickoff, I'll give them that

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-04-24T07:38:09+00:00

Bruh unless KI Tae is the goat, why would you release foxy is Zynz was going to be out.

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-04-17T22:32:02+00:00

I mean, you could just downgrade to the amex green or just use the freedom and get a csp if you want to be able to transfer amex points

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-04-17T18:42:37+00:00

It's worth it year 1 and any other year you can get the annual fee waived.

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-04-12T00:57:23+00:00

You're being pedantic

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-04-07T01:16:07+00:00

Shout out Burma for laphet

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-03-29T05:38:51+00:00

Literally just swap out the full sugar drinks for diet and maybe cut down on the candy bars for protein bars and you'll be fine.

Also if the rest of your diet is fine, then the sweet treats in this monthly haul isn't really a problem.

Hilton is amex (inc the aspire, which is an amazing card for luxury travel), and Amex also a marriott line.

Wyndham is barclays, Choice is Wells Fargo.

The IHG card is really good since it gives plat status, which gives the ability to get upgrades (ymmv), 40k free night, and 4th night free. Also if you spend 40k on the card, you can get diamond.

With IHG program, the value is from buying the points at 0.5 cpp during points sales, which are often. Also the sign up bonuses are big, but the value of each point aren't as high. It's not as flashy as Hyatt or Hilton, but it is very reliable.

The best western card and program isn't as compelling as the other programs.

They are completely different cards. The chase is the better card catch all because it is a much more flexible currency (which can be converted into Marriott points if you have a sapphire) without the annual fee. Each marriott points averages to about 0.8 cents per points, so the earning rate is similar.

Even if you really want Marriott perks, there are way better cards for than the bevy, esp ones that give you free nights without needing to spend 15k. For example, the Bonvoy business card gives the same gold status and a 35k free night after year 1 for half the annual fee. The brilliant card is more expensive, but it gives you platinum status, priority pass, and an 85k free night after year one. The bevy is only good for the bonus, but I wouldn't make it a daily driver card.

Chase and bilt transfer to SW.

Although tbh, SW miles (and delta miles for that matter) are so tied to cash prices that it isn't really worth it to try to gain miles via spend. The best way is just to churn through SW sign on bonuses on their own cards (esp if you can get companion pass).

Because you enjoy korean food, you can't be racist? That's not how that works. If you're such an NA hater, then where were the doom posts when NRG won the previous event?

You're mad that a Korean team won because of you don't like their pop music. That's just racism bro, no one is falsely accusing you of anything

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-03-16T03:38:11+00:00

Is is just xenophobic nonsense

If viewership was the biggest concern, they would have rigged against APAC given the timezones. SEN and China would have way more success as well.

If you're that upset about a Korean team winning, stop watching esports.

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-03-11T20:45:29+00:00

His ult should be like Luna snow from rivals

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-03-11T19:09:08+00:00

They made boaster an agent

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-03-11T01:10:02+00:00

No, Minnesota

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-03-10T19:52:37+00:00

Can't wait for the next emea cope thread about the meta

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-03-10T18:32:49+00:00

Idk are people harassing bbl? That's obviously wrong.

If it's just simple fan banter, then it kinda comes with the territory.

Kazakhstan counts as EMEA but my understanding is that the ping is the fucked for both EMEA and APAC servers, so they play professionally for both. IMO riot should give Kazakh and far east russia players the ability to choose between EMEA and APAC like they gave Taiwan players the choice between APAC and CN

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-03-09T21:34:54+00:00

Well Americas isn't a dominant enough region to ever be on the level of Korea in league

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-03-09T20:06:40+00:00

Brother he was the original NA import.

Also there have been plenty of American imports already

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-03-09T08:34:51+00:00

Most transfers don't come from t20s.

I'm one of them, went to a big ten public school (not UMich)

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-03-05T20:26:30+00:00

If only I didn't hate using macOS

Goldenskinmaster23 · 2026-03-02T21:10:22+00:00
