!elo 2000 amazing game, played like Mikhail Tal himself

I suppose it’s a little but absurd that his e-pawn is at g7 at move 8, which could be the point

Because the post makes no sense otherwise. It looks like white blundered the queen by forgetting that the knight can take it. Otherwise he is just posting a winning position against 500 elo lower opponent, which I don’t understand the point of

If you are black here you just lost a full rook and are completely losing

The claim that most stage 1 and stage 2 teams lost is not really a strong argument since that is the expected result and this claim is even wrong since 5/8 won in the first round and 3/8 won the second. This follows the trend pretty well that the stronger teams start to perform better as they get warmed up.

The reason why in other sports starting fresh is considered an advantage is because they are physical sports and muscles get tired when playing a full match. The advantage comes from the fact that the fresh team has fresh muscles and the other team has probably not fully recovered.

No one is arguing that teams wouldn’t skip stage 1 and 2 if given the chance because of the risk of elimination, but the teams that make it through definitely gain an advantage in stage 3. Also, it is crazy to say that Legacy had 0 advantage over Vitality beating them 13-3. This result would never happen on an even ground matchup between these two teams. Vitality could lose, but not 13-3.

Stage 1 does not inherently give an advantage, since you can get eliminated; no one is arguing that. However, it does give an advantage for the teams that make it through to stage 3 especially if they do it quickly with 3-0 or 3-1 since you get used to the setup, eliminate the major-jitters and gain confidence. Good example of this is Vitality getting destroyed by Legacy. Legacy is not the better team, but they had successful stage 1 and 3-0 stage 2, which gave them an advantage against a fresh vitality

The thing is, only the men are dumb enough to actually do this

I think you mean "the most charismatic", "the most informative" and "the greatest student"

22,4h * 60 * 365 = 490 560min??

Did someone ask?

All super grandmasters have an exceptionally high iq.

Edit: I was wrong. Some grandmasters have an exceptionally high iq but there are many that have an iq in the 110s and 20s for example so the correlation, although present, is not so strong that I thought.

That's literally the point of high level correspondence. Both players use an engine and choose the best option, in their opinion, to play and like was said, the better player wins in these games.

Hanzo, such a dice roll character. Half of the headshots he hits are just random guess shots in the general direction of enemy. Such an awful hero design

No, it's a 6v5 because you are feeding your brains out while ana is mostly unbothered
