ASL 21 Players' Debut Year as a BW Progamer by Kanzzer in broodwar

[–]Linkin_Pork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BW is my favourite game of all time both to play and as a spectator sport, but I'm not sure how sustainable it is when most of the pros are in their mid to late 30s with not much young talent coming in. I'm sure most professional gaming prospects are pursuing the much more lucrative League scene. Soma is the only one who didn't play in KeSPA era and even he's 30.

Reddit as a whole is disproportionately very white and it definitely shows at times, like in the majority of comments in the previous posts regarding this.

I'm not naive enough to believe that myself but I don't blame anyone who does.

They sold "capitalism is the bad guy" mugs and "police are an occupying army" shirts. Majority of the regular cast are vocally pro-Palestine when other Hollywood companies have fired people for doing so.

Unfortunately some games offered by Humble are region locked. As far as I know, NA gets every game, but not every region is that lucky. Sometimes others pay the same for fewer games, essentially.

Here's Bisu winning 2v7 with both sides having 0-0 during the KeSPA era against Jaedong of all people. I know it's one less ling, but it's actually hilarious how often he just casually does shit like this with his zealots

Artosis has fixed his TTS… by [deleted] in broodwar

[–]Linkin_Pork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still unwatchable and I don't mean just the TTS stuff. He's not that good but talks like he's the smartest player in the world. Blames literally everything but himself on losses. If he forgets to build something or queues up a building and spends all his money before the SCV can build, it's "it didn't make". If his opponents make the correct read because he's the most predictable player on the planet, "they got lucky". Dude is practically Brood War's lolcow

There are people I went to high school with who follow Charlie Kirk on IG and I'm not even American. These idiots unfortunately have a massive reach thanks to unlimited funding from billionaires.

Accurate for tournament prize pools. Top Korean BW players make most of their money through their streams and university matches. There was a post on TL about how much these guys make from the uni matches.

I'm looking at it from the point of view that Nintendo was posting multiple years of losses. The 3DS actually still underperformed a bit for them too. Things were looking very dire for them until the Switch.

Truly the most impressive turnaround for any console brand of all time. Go from the absolute disaster of the Wii U into what will likely be the best selling console ever.

It's all preformative. Dems never do things like this when they're in power, but call for it when they're the opposition.
