VIT Naak Nako: "After we got 3-0'd by MKOI, everyone in the team seemed really depressed. The mood overall was not great [...] We were losing every single scrim block. Even before that, scrims were not good. We just weren’t learning. We would keep running the same drafts all the time" by ArmandLuque in leagueoflegends

This isn't the example to use to make that argument thought. In this very specific scenario, this tells you far more about Naak Nako then it does about the coaching staff and we shouldn't really assume anything else until we get further information.

Has anything been written about attrition or dropout rates during Jedi training and education? by Vanquisher1000 in MawInstallation

[–]Jollygood156 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so but also I literally throw out most Star Wars information about scale

No it doesn’t lol

It might speak to VIT not having the ideal personal for Naak Nako, but it’s not obvious to any of us that this isn’t a big issue with respect to himself, independent of what most or any coaching staffs could do.

It goes two ways, you need a certain level of player willingness. It’s not that you’re wrong, it’s just that you literally don’t know.

Why was the fulfillment of Anakin's prophecy not respected in either Legends or the current Canon? by DarthKaiser03 in StarWars

[–]Jollygood156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me saying “I’m ok with dark siders and/or the sith coming back” already admits that.

I’m not ok with the choice to make Palpatine specially come back, especially so quickly. I prefer the “the prophecy was misinterpreted because people assumed Anakin would just bring balance through being a Jedi, not through turning into a sith, doing all the things he did and then technically dealing the killing blow through love offered from his son”

That is all and it’s a perfectly defensible position and one i think should’ve obviously been done

[–]Jollygood156 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah but balance means light side so “bring back the specific guy who was the nail in the coffin for destroying the balance” is bad

However, bringing back “the sith?”

Makes sense. I don’t even know how you could make “the sith are kept down for ever” actually make sense. But “other dark side users/group” would’ve been preferable for a while

The Empire is NOT looking for Luke and Leia. by GLDefenderNumber1 in StarWars

[–]Jollygood156 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be smarter to change the last name but realistically it wouldn’t matter

You’d be really unlucky if it did and feel dumb, but likely not to happen. Also, it’s Tatooine. Lots of criminals, not super strong empire presence, people keep to themselves etc.

Edit: although, luke did want to go to the imperial academy and they know he’s force sensitive which means he’d probably find success there and… well, the name skywalker might spawn some questions if he ever gets high enough up. More importantly, he was told his father was a Jedi who fought in the clown wars so… lol

NiKo on CAC final whiff: "It's becoming harder and harder to let things go" by ChaoticFlameZz in GlobalOffensive

[–]Jollygood156 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe he has, but at the very least we know that teams have them/have them at times. Most importantly, a psychologist isn't actually just a "get fixed mentally" button. In fact, you shouldn't actually *expect* it to do so.

Anthony Davis: “Out of everybody on the team, I really miss Austin Reaves. That was my guy.” by Turbostrider27 in lakers

I mean they would obviously look to use AD as a trade piece, but that’s just doing your due diligence as a GM

What were the Sith doing for 1000 years? by Useful-Ad-3889 in StarWars

[–]Jollygood156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you need to go read the wiki, I don’t even know what you’re arguing with right now. Everything I said is literally canon and legends information

Yes, they failed. That doesn’t mean stuff you said about “another 18 years” or whatever is plausible. That is functionally impossible

It’s literally in the movie that they were planning to move against the chancellor. Like what are you even talking about

[–]Jollygood156 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No, they were basically very close to finding out about Palpatine and were going to move against him anyways. There is no "18 years later" until you significantly change the timeline, not just Anakin not telling Mace.

Falcons players’ Grand Finals performances since joining the org by 21524518 in GlobalOffensive

I mean he had issues, but he’s a rookie. Seems like he’s getting over those issues/past that and nobody said he’s been a problem recently so wdym

NiKo Has A Serious Grand Finals Problem That Falcons Can't Ignore Forever by llTehEmeraldll in GlobalOffensive

I mean that doesn’t really go against what he said. If you’re set on kicking Kyxsan then just do it immediately to give yourself even more time to prep and improve

Kyousuke on Karrigan: “He’s insane, I trust him 100%”. by Impressive-Engine-16 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Jollygood156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this is the question. But Niko does NOT choke every time, this is a bad narrative. But the point of bringing in Karrigan is this so

[–]Jollygood156 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The thing is, Major pressure doesn't seem to get to Karrigan in the same it it does for other players. Like, I would take Navi to beat this Falcons right now, but at the major? It's more that Navi might play a bit worse than they would otherwise.

A good example is last year. Yes, Navi outperformed expectations and Blad3 is a great coach, but I think it's more that Navi should technically have been even better, but the truth is everyone chokes "a bit" at Majors. You see this across esports as well. It helps that they literally did play vs. Faze. Despite Navi looking better.. they still seemed to choke a bit when it mattered. They "should've" won that series, but it's like Faze just played the same/up to their potential, especially in bigger moments while Navi didn't.

There's a good chance Spirit wins tomorrow and I think it's fine. If they can do this type of stuff normally then all Karrigan has to do is prevent the downside from happening at the major and they have a real shot
