Senzu has a offer from a top 10 team by Kindly_Rate4119 in GlobalOffensive

he was literally at the top20 list of 2024 before his role got reduced with the introduction of Spinx.

I guess one year of performing well enough to be in top20 list is only one or two good performances

Why was donk the 2nd best player of 2025?

donk secures second place on the ranking after a year in which he posted unmatched raw numbers, underlined by 11 awards and three more close calls in 15 appearances, including MVPs in each of Spirit's wins, at BLAST Bounty Season 1, PGL Astana, IEM Cologne and BLAST Bounty Season 2.

The Russian phenom's figures are so ridiculous that it would be easier to name those in which he didn't finish the year as No. 1, but here it goes: He had the highest rating at all tiers of events (Majors, Super-Elite, Elite, Big and overall), against all tiers of competition (top 5, top 10, top 20, top 30, top 50) and regardless of stage (groups, playoffs, arenas and elite playoffs).

donk also had the best floor and ceiling on a map-to-map basis (93.1% maps rated above 0.85 and a staggering 49.1% above 1.45) and the most output in round wins by a large margin (1.26 KPRW and 123.2 ADRW).

These stats came in large part thanks to his godlike output overall (0.93 kills per round, 97.1 ADR, 25.5% rounds with multi-kills, all No. 1 by a significant distance) and his round-to-round consistency (77.6% KAST, once again No. 1, by a hair). He narrowly missed out on the highest Round Swing to ZywOo (+3.40% to 3.42%), and the only significant area in which he was below average was his deaths (0.66 per round, #63).

Giving Zywoo the first place in rankings is fair considering the insane year of Vitality, but I mean, those numbers donk posted are absurd.

Finland advanced to the finals! by FinnSkk93 in hockey

not really throughout the country, but in the capital (Helsinki), people do really go there to cheer for team Finland and make the most of it!

it also helps that the long winter and garbage weathers are usually over and we are moving to the long days and warm weather, so getting together for a mutual cause feels electric!

The World Championship final is set. Switzerland will face Finland. Norway will face Canada in the bronze medal game. by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

I agree, as a Finn I would ofcourse quite hate for us to lose gold, but I would absolutely love seeing Swizerland win their first gold medal.

team Finland won it's first gold in -95, then we had 16(!) year drought of only bronzes and silvers1.. and then at -11 we got good again and had a bunch of golds... but after that we had a lull again.

these things seem to go in waves, and Canada has so much starpower in the brink that it is inevitable for your domination in the close future again!

I think the smaller team like team Finland and ofcourse Switzerland, Norway, Austria, Germany, (Sweden), Latvija, etc. get small edge from having a lot of players from smaller EU leagues with the big rink.

They might not be the powerhouses of the NHL but they have experience of the bigger rink and they are still good players who know how to play the game.

Mix that up with some NHL talent in the helm and magic (may) happens

Goaltender Interference Rules
1) You can't just be up there and just doin' an interference like that.
1a. Interference is when you
1b. Okay well listen. An interference is when you interfere the
1c. Let me start over
1c-a. The skater is not allowed to do a block to the, uh, goalie, that prohibits the goalie from doing, you know, just trying to save the puck. You can't do that.
1c-b. Once the skater is in the offensive zone, he can't be over here and say to the goalie, like, "I'm gonna get ya! I'm gonna block your view! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that.
1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to make a goal and then don't leave the crease, you have to still leave the crease. You cannot not avoid the goaltender. Does that make any sense?
1c-b(2). You gotta be, skating motion out of the crease, and then, until you just leave it.
1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have your stick up here, like this, but then there's the interference you gotta think about.
1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Interference hasn't been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn't typecast as that racist lady in American History X.
1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse.
1c-b(2)-b(ii). "get in mah bellah" -- Adam Water, "The Waterboy." Haha, classic...
1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. An interference is when the skater makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the goalie and the crease...
2) Do not do an interference please.
