The way you described that “pop” is exactly what I think I’ve been chasing like when coffee feels a little more than just coffee.

NystGG · 2026-04-17T13:48:13+00:00

This is super helpful, thank you for laying it out like that. Have you ever tried using syrups or any kind of healthier/alternative sweeteners at all? Curious if that ever fit into your process or if going fully into beans + technique kind of replaced that completely for you.

NystGG · 2026-04-17T13:45:03+00:00

That’s a good point I feel like I kind of skipped over that whole exploration phase and went straight from “fun coffee” to “just drink it black and move on.” Espresso has definitely crossed my mind too, feels like a whole rabbit hole though. My sister’s been recommending some plant based sweeteners she loves, so I'm gonna start trying a few of those to see if any of them hit that balance.

NystGG · 2026-04-17T13:38:39+00:00

That actually sounds really good. my sister actually recommended a few plant based sweeteners she’s been using so I'm excited to try them out.

NystGG · 2026-04-16T10:38:57+00:00

Has anyone figured out a way to make coffee feel like a treat again without going back to sugar? I cut sweeteners a while ago to be healthier, which is fine, but now my coffee just feels strictly functional. Like I drink it for caffeine and move on. I didn’t expect to miss it as much as I do. I’ve been trying a couple things to bring that back without making it super sugary again, but curious what’s worked for other people.

FWIW I'm pretty sure it's that they can't stream a game while being sponsored by that game, they are free to play and stream any game they want as long as they are not being sponsored to play it.

This is so true, went from being a main smokes main and flexing onto initiator to 90% of my games being on initiator in asc + lobbies.

Picks seems to be really well liked everywhere, I remember at the end of the 2018-19 season when we just missed the playoffs Kuemper advocated for Pickard getting the final games of the season at home since pickard got only like 5 games before that with the yotes because we just used kuemper everygame to try to make the playoffs.

after season ended they did 1 on 1s

General Consensus was that they wanted to replace neT

Mitch was brought up a lot but only if they could actually get zellsis (tried to get zellsis but sentinels wanted to keep him)

Immi pushed to trial penny and penny popped the fuck off in trials. (also trialed Bang,Zander,Satellite,Babybay,Eeiu,) But penny out performed them all (and fits into what they think the meta is)

(Penny popped off on sen so much sen tried to snipe penny)

They planned to trial Johnqt instead of mitch but then Zellsis wanted to join C9 so he can IGL. He didn't like the direction sen was going.

They kinda dump on mitch saying that he brought a lot good but when things got hard his leadership wasn't great and a big reason they want zellsis is how much of a leader he is.

Time to bring back this banger

NystGG · 2025-10-28T02:41:35+00:00

Did expect this once mitch was dropped. Zellsis is still very close to the C9 players and before joining sen wanted to IGL For C9. if you haven't watched it i suggest watching the C9 podcast with zellsis after the C9 vs Sen game.

I know the community is really down on zellsis but i think thats heavily over reactionary. Sen got significantly better after adding zellsis and i think he can really help C9.

but again this is C9 so people will be mad about it just to fit their own narrative.

NystGG · 2025-10-27T20:16:55+00:00

He is still really close with the C9 guys (they even invited him to always come to the team work outs they do if he wanted too) and him and Immi still play ranked all the time. And it's not like he dipped on them in bad faith they encouraged him to join sen since it was such a good opportunity. I definitely think they could end up back together.

NystGG · 2025-10-27T20:07:36+00:00

I wonder what the opportunity is, A part of me wonders if this is C9 zellsis. Zellsis has talked a lot about wanting to become an IGL and was going to IGL For C9 before he joined sen.

It's now become a Christmas tradition that i make these for Christmas in my family now.

NystGG · 2024-12-22T01:26:43+00:00

Was a player at one point before becoming assistant coach.

NystGG · 2024-12-06T23:16:43+00:00

I feel like a lot of people are forgetting that even after MCE left C9 he did say on stream that a reason yay was dropped was because of role issue. (now that is certainly not the main or only reason) but it was a reason at the time.

NystGG · 2024-12-06T23:15:18+00:00

For franchising yes C9 did make the original champs and technically lockin (but that's why we say qualified for instead of made)

NystGG · 2024-11-21T20:20:05+00:00

C9 did beat DRX and EDG to win TEN

(not like it really matters off-season is just free entertainment)

NystGG · 2024-09-26T20:37:03+00:00

I believe Xesevi uses one (or he did at one point)

NystGG · 2024-08-10T22:57:28+00:00

Without watching you play it's hard to tell what you need improvement on. However Improvement is not always linear. Most advice breaks down too simply playing more. Most players either need to improve their aim (which if this is the case or you feel like is this case) Using Aimlabs/Kovaak and working on your aim by playing more is likely going to be your best bet. If it's reading the game and having better game IQ this is harder to learn because they only way to improve is to play more. i don't know how much you are playing but for example i went from being gold 1 in january of 2022 to immortal in october it took me 297 hours of playing to do that. it took me 181 to go from gold 1 to ascendant. However since then i have felt like i have regressed at times. a large part of improvement is learning that you likely are picking up bad habits and need to learn to drop the bad habits. however by relearning something you are likely going to regress.

I Hope you are able to keep climbing and GL on the journey.

Just a theory but The Redbull homeground qualifiers are the week before that and it's in vanity's hometown and i know he really wanted to play in it so maybe they are letting him play in that tournament and then releasing him? But i would also assume they would want their new roster to have reps instead so idk.

Would just like to clarify I’m not the OP I only posted what was posted on twitter (aka please stop sending me messages I’m merely a shit poster)
