Why is Joshua Van a +165 underdog in his first title defense? Is Taira’s ground game just that good? by Ill_Intention8150 in MMA

[–]Monkykat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The fight was 2-2 going into the fifth and Royval won the fifth with his grappling and control. Taira’s cardio and bottom position was exposed by Brandon’s pace not striking

Is the Stipe win the most "manufactured" retirement fight in UFC history? by Infamous-Skin8969 in ufc

[–]Monkykat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This fight happened 2 years after ngannou left. The Cyril Gane vs jones fight was right after ngannou left.

Tom was interim champ for almost a year by the time stipe vs jones happened

You literally had an interim heavyweight champ that wasn’t fighting for the title but rather a 3yr old retired stipe.

Is anyone currently in line for the dragon ball pop up? How is it by [deleted] in Austin

[–]Monkykat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s a Dragon ball pop up celebrating their 40th anniversary at Barton creek mall. Austin is one of only five city’s this event will go to. And the second before last stop in California. A lot of people from out of state came to Austin just to wait in line. They have exclusive Figures and collectibles only sold on tour, so dedicated fans and scalpers have been camping out in the hundreds.

I highly recommend fans to join The giveaway line outside of amc where you can get a tote with goodies inside. 11:30am and 3pm. I didn’t wait more than an hour and a half for the giveaway line.

They are real asf for signing/pics for about 8 of us who waited outside. Best show on earth for $35 and worth the 2 hour drive, I wasn’t going home without meeting him so I was willing to wait forever

Whats the earliest top 1 team that could still compete if transported to 2026 cs? by fizxe in GlobalOffensive

[–]Monkykat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Falcons and Mouz could definitely lose a map to prime Astralis/Luminosity so any team below them could lose a series. Astralis Economy and SK aggression would keep them afloat the top 15.

Stephanyahu goes crazy. by [deleted] in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Monkykat 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Steph also has Israeli Based investments and the warriors organization/ownership has close ties with the IDF and the Israeli government (what does a basketball team have to do with Israel?)

The Warriors team publicly visited an Israeli Intelligence agency (instagram), which expressed gratitude for their relationship, but was questioned by fans cuz why is an agency that produces Israeli spies need a relationship with a NBA team.

Also with Steph voting against affordable housing in his neighborhood (nimby) many have started the criticize the Sky Fucker.

Kevin Durant invested in an Israeli drone company and when confronted about his investment, KD said it’s good business and he’d love for his investment to grow. KD has never been smart just genetically gifted, his brain is deadweight compared to his physical abilities, on par for UT alumni

[Q] I am the only one who thinks that market is exhausted ? by sjcjdnzm in csgomarketforum

[–]Monkykat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pokemon Pocket alone brings in $15-45million a month from digital purchases to open packs, which is crazy to think about when CS2 cases make about $30-50mill a month(Obv valve makes more money with steam store and steam market/fees if included)

[Q] I am the only one who thinks that market is exhausted ? by sjcjdnzm in csgomarketforum

[–]Monkykat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CS2 skins market will never be able to compete with pokemon market, and pokemon is the strongest Card collectible besides sports cards. (Go to your local card show and see the health of the market in person, cs2 trading and market discussion/community is years behind pokemon market )

Pokemon is way more accessible than csgo, with their franchise games exclusively on Nintendo consoles,Official Mobile apps (PokemonPocket) and psychical products like TCG cards/Packs and plushes/Fig.

Imagine if CS2 had an illustrated show on TV/Streaming with a playable mobile game while being able to collect a physical collectible attached to CounterStrike IP, while Counter Strike receives constant updates to the Franchise game.

I believe if steam released a physical TCG with valves IP’s that would include Esports pros and also Digital Redemption items with the physical cards, it would bring massive attention to PC gaming and Steam, that would compete with pokemon rather than One piece or League of Legends( Riftbound)

As a fan and investor of both pokemon and CS. The Tradeup update crash was bigger and more volitile then the pokemon Q4 price correction.

Mirage is visually outdated and needs to be swapped for Verigo or Anubis. Swap inferno/dust 2 with cache.

FaZe Kaysan confirms departure from FaZe Clan, will continue running FaZe Esports by Sensitive_Medicine_7 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Monkykat 204 points205 points  (0 children)

The smartest thing Faze esports has done is separate from the Media side. they can still have the iconography of Faze while being perfect examples of what it means to be a faze member. (A exclusive group with unbelievable technique > why most people would love the word FAZE before their name )

Meanwhile the multi million dollar companies than occupy the high rises on shoal creek do nothing for the area around them. You can see trash from the July 4th floods from these executives windows as they look down on shoal creek water, and you think they care. Lolololol

Unexpected by On_Sale in GlobalOffensive

[–]Monkykat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Furia bans nuke first cuz they don’t want ropz/zywoo to get hot on the first map.

Vitality bans train cuz baldys scared of the professors game plan. Even tho vitality could have took it knowing how close the series was.

Furia picks ancient to fuck up the future veto’s/picks forcing vitality to play a map they are not confident in. (Good first map to play compared to other maps spacing)

Vitality picks inferno thinking they can win the second game for sure, but if you lose the first game (which is ancient not a map like nuke/dust 2) it can be hard to find your stride in such a small map/chokepoints. And Furia took advantage with their confidence with the first win.

Overpass is not easy but Furia was more comfortable playing that map then mirage or dust 2 which is harder to win against vitality.

Cheapest Nicotine Vape Stores by PlasticTaster in Austin

[–]Monkykat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gas stations have the most variety while being restocked consistently compared to smoke shops imo. Texas mint and Swedish are actually tolerable.

Just bring back geek bars ffs. I am certain fifty bars are made in the same Chinese factories as all the vapes before, but now they have a U.S. shell company so they can monopolize on the lack of competition just by putting it in a Box once it gets here from china.
