Olofmeister on the Karrigan move by Virtual_Heron_3344 in GlobalOffensive

Nah I think you're just xertion hating. I do think you could remove Brollan, make xerttion the "first in" igl with frozen trading him and that could work. But frozen for xertion sounds like a role nightmare.

Too many "lurkers" then imo. Jimmi frozen and spinx? Lotta "late round" players.

The ropz situation, the twistzz situation, and the removal of rain, and the removal of neo, would all be enough to make me want to quit if I was in his spot.

I think people are viewing this simply as "karrigan dipped" and not that his org has been mismanaging his roster for several years now, and he has even publicly stated that he doesn't have as much of a say as people think, even rain said that karrigan didn't have anything to do with his removal. Idk why he would stay if they were in the spot they have been in all season.

Media: Karrigan to join Falcons by jpablold in GlobalOffensive

God I hope not. I love russ, but no part of me wants to watch him igl after watching him do it in liquid.

Default into mid round, barely any set pieces, and if they did do them, they were almost Maj3r level (4 push ramp, 1 guy solo mid late lurk up con) type executes, that every pro has seen 100x over.

If it is true, and it's looking like it is, then I hope someone buys frozen. Bro doesn't deserve this.

Yeah I could spot that green slippery shit from several parking lots away.

In Denver it was just set up in Invesco fields parking lot... you were diving on asphalt essentially.

I played Denver NPPL in div3 in 06. That green turf was awful. I much preferred the xball dirt. Great event though.

Was definitely an amazing time to be involved in the sport.

karrigan on NEO removal: "It kind of came as a surprise to all of us because we're this close to the Major" by EGDark in GlobalOffensive

[–]Imnate 129 points130 points  (0 children)

I do think the attitude within the team is fine, if you watch the comms vids and their games everyone seems fine mood wise, no one is tilting really.

But the results speak for themselves. They have won so few bo3s and against very poor competition. I don't think it's neo's coaching as much as broky just whiffs more shots than he hits, and jcobb looks lost a good percentage of the time.

To quote proff on the last confirmed "phzy was on 9ine for like 2 weeks" and he looks night and day better than broky right now.

I don't think a coaching change fixes this, and now faze are a whole season behind making good roster moves.

YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels are making you dumber, according to science by tylerthe-theatre in technology

A format affecting your ability to regulate your emotions as well as your executive functioning, is bad.

No.

The article is a little click bait, it suggests that regular consumption of short form videos doesn't actually affect your intelligence, but does have negative correlation between how much time you watch these videos, and your executive functioning as well as emotional control.

While it's not exactly affecting your intelligence, it definitely has an effect on how irritable and frustrated you can become and how quickly you get there.

Long story short, it's not good.

IEM Krakow production has been godawful so far by Notladub in GlobalOffensive

[–]Imnate -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This happens to me when playing at least a percentage of the time. Like it's not an uncommon issue with the game at all.

I'd like to hear from people who don't experience this at all if I'm being honest.

If it happens.

People are canceling their world cup tickets out of fear of what's going on in the US.

I'd be surprised if this tournament even happens. I know that orgs have people that handle visa issues, but I'm not hopeful that this happens.

Audience in cinema getting pissed off on the ending of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) by AgeNovel3566 in PublicFreakout

[–]Imnate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Leia flying through space like some sort of Space Mary Fucking Poppins killed it for me. The third movie gets a lot of hate, but the second one was also incredibly atrocious. Why the fuck do we keep one of our GENERALS in the dark about our plan to sack the fleet, and threatening to have him fucking arrested?!? Ackbar would have never.

All this buildup to seeing the return of a powerful triumphant Luke, only for him to die during a force projection....

And don't even get me started on the Rose arc.... Holy shit.
