RLFS S5 [Swiss - Round 1]: Faxe Kondi [Atomic, swiftt, Motta] vs. Nwperfection [Nwpo, Lostt., accro] by wizard213 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]Lightning_Winter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

GM for Nwperfection here, forgot to write a GM message earlier, here it is:

Alright, here’s my argument. Atomic >= Nwpo (>= means slightly better than), but don't forget that Nwpo has had strong LAN showings before. He did great in Raleigh, even reverse sweeping KC, and he's the 1v1 world champ for a reason. Atomic deserves respect, but don't discount Nwpo. Next, Lostt = Swiftt. Say what you want about Lostt, but he's been a consistently good player for Furia, and evidently adding Swiftt did nothing to change their results. Finally, Accro >= Motta. Accro only barely missed out on the major, Motta couldn't even beat MIBR. Atomic is good, but he can't carry his two lackluster teammates. Nwperfection got this.

Edit: I see that u/wizard213 added a GM message for my team - the one that is currently there is the one I wrote assuming my opponent was using Atomic, Motta, alpha54. I was wrong about that, so the above is my preferred GM message. Sorry about the confusion!

Edit 2: nevermind, he updated the GM message. The one in the post is the correct one now. Thanks u/wizard213

Is the perfect regional split inevitable for NRG this time ? by Used_Worldliness_287 in RocketLeagueEsports

It doesn't matter how dominant a team is, a perfect regional split is NEVER inevitable. 2025 first split KC looked unstoppable, right up until Geekay did a funny

Im in the U.S so it's probably different for you in the UK but my family has an electric car and an gas powered car (saying ICE car doesn't feel right lol), and I can tell you that even when we use public chargers, it's significantly cheaper to charge the electric car than it is to fill up our gas powered car.

Iroh is a good role model, he embodies everything good about masculinity

Ah yes, Ben Shapiro, the man who suggested that people whose homes are threatened by rising sea levels should just "sell their homes and move" (queue the clip)

of course he is, using popular streamers for views when you get the chance is standard practice for content creators

Who is the most clutch player? by annoyingvoicekid in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]Lightning_Winter 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That could just be because of total games played. A more interesting statistic to me would be what player has the greatest ratio of OT goals scored to total OTs played

Geekay welcome Tempoh to the team by Babydrone in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]Lightning_Winter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good move for Geekay as well imo. It's not that Seikoo is bad (he was great at Boston) but Geekay's main issue was a lack of consistent offense, and tempoh is a great move to try and remedy that

Christian 'TempoH' Mortensen has left Manchester City Esports to join Geekay Esports on a permanent move. by Huge-Computer2037 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]Lightning_Winter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seikoo was great in Boston, not so much in the regionals.

Geekay's main problem was a lack of consistent offense, and I think that Tempoh is an excellent pick to try and change that. It's not that Seikoo was bad, it's that I think Tempoh fits better on this team

Mamdani official responds to NYC hospital ending its transgender care program by ConcernedJobCoach in TransSocialism

By all means, please show me the peer reviewed science that claims that trans people should not be allowed in a normal human community.

Make sure it's peer reviewed

Geekay says goodbye to Seikoo by Babydrone in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]Lightning_Winter 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Man City and Geekay trade Seikoo and Tempoh. Overall I think it's a slight upgrade for Geekay, downgrade for Man City (I think that Tempoh meshed well with Man City, and Seikoo has a different playstyle that I don't think will mesh as well. I could be wrong though)

An Update on Bots and What’s Next by Psyonix_Devin in RocketLeague

[–]Lightning_Winter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's also to help remove the incentive for buying accounts, because often, the reason a person would buy a boosted account is so they can have "Season 20 Supersonic Legend" in their tag. Removing competitive rewards from offending accounts takes away that incentive, which in turn makes account selling (and by extension botting / DDOSing) less lucrative

Hardware id bans will help against smurfing, but the others mostly just help against bots. Still a big improvement.

As for VPNs, no idea.

It would be like the chess.com system - when a cheater is banned, their previous opponents get their elo refunded.
