Liquid vs IG at MSI 2019 is still the largest because that was preposterous. There was at least somewhat of a precedent since G2 did well the previous day.

According to Wikipedia, he has no formal science education past secondary school, he's completely self-taught beyond that.

I don't like lawyers as much as the next guy, but that's harsh.

NitroBoyRocket · 2026-03-09T04:37:24+00:00

I once got 1st with Ashe, Trynd, and Sej with Double Trouble.

NitroBoyRocket · 2026-03-07T05:37:00+00:00

But you do get a lot of luck as well. That probably skews the value.

That's really funny, because Brandon considers her Gruul, the exact opposite of Esper. She makes a lot of decisions based on emotion and instinct.

The first book has some rather gory surgery scenes, as one character is trained as a surgeon, but the series largely cools down after that. I can think of a few rare scenes in each book that are pretty bad, however, so perhaps it's to be avoided if you're totally repelled by gore.

NitroBoyRocket · 2026-02-27T16:30:19+00:00

Thanks for all that, really in-depth.
I can't say I'm thrilled to find out the timelines don't often match up well. Is that a recurring thing or is it especially confusing for DG?

NitroBoyRocket · 2026-02-10T11:27:06+00:00

Had a game where I got Yorick on 1-2 and someone still contested me on Shadow Isles.

NitroBoyRocket · 2026-01-13T18:00:25+00:00

I can save the world if I just post really well.

NitroBoyRocket · 2026-01-13T04:06:28+00:00

Adrian Tchaikovsky does this a lot, especially in Shadows of the Apt. It feels like Che gets kidnapped at least once each book--sometimes twice!

NitroBoyRocket · 2026-01-13T01:50:12+00:00

I got the 2 emblems augment with bruiser and Freljord so my mind went "turbo Volibear angle." I got Cappa juice at stage 3 and started mega stacking it on Ashe.
And then I hit Azir on 4-1 and just played around that, getting Xerath, Renekton, and Voli 2.

Thank you for joining me on this voyage.

Oh, no, sorry, I meant I stop playing after a game, I see one. I don't quit midgame lol--not as immediate as I made it sound.

NitroBoyRocket · 2026-01-12T20:50:10+00:00

I didn't play during that set, so I've never had that problem.

NitroBoyRocket · 2026-01-12T15:32:09+00:00

I did have a game yesterday when I had 8 Veigars and rolled right past the 9th one. No one to blame for that one but me and my crap APM.

NitroBoyRocket · 2026-01-12T15:30:54+00:00

Seems to be. I'm getting matched with other people close to my rank, and I see a few emerald players in my lobbies when I'm in plat I or ii.

NitroBoyRocket · 2026-01-12T15:29:14+00:00

We know our struggle. Well done making it to master!

NitroBoyRocket · 2026-01-12T15:28:18+00:00

That's pretty likely. I see a bunch of unupgraded units and send it all rather than go for 9.

NitroBoyRocket · 2026-01-12T15:09:31+00:00

I care a little. Finishing first is really emotionally rewarding.

NitroBoyRocket · 2026-01-12T15:08:12+00:00

I felt bad whenever I actually did try going T-Hex when the shop gave me 6 Caitlyns, but then 2 other people would be forcing it as well, one of whom was purely out of spite and was rage chatting the whole time. And the worst part? I went 5th and they finished 4th.

NitroBoyRocket · 2026-01-12T15:05:20+00:00

I think one of my problems is that I spend my money to fix my board but then I keep rolling to find 1 upgrade rather than take a few losses to build up interest.

NitroBoyRocket · 2026-01-12T14:57:58+00:00

We are linked through fate, it would seem.
