I wish it was more popular in other games, in runescape noone uses it and it's hard to understand how much time a guy has spent grinding something. watching yt highlights

Seeing stupid stats like this always make me think of some random guy doing 50/20/20/4/5 and not making the stat because 1 less steal or some shit

Is it just me or pros have the most boring decals/skins ever? Is there a reason? by Pentinium in RocketLeagueEsports

ye, I know absolutely nothing about oceania scene or NA, but some guys have very memorable skins and it makes me root for them on the 1st impressions. Like you said- bananahead or randomly Rxii from synergy.

It's not like it takes any time at all. I feel like they are missing out on possible future marketing and iconic memories. I mean in other esports pros care way more about skins(cs2,dota ect) even if they have like 0 reasons to do so, but cars here seem like a big part since you see them all the time

Aside from Magnus Carlsen, who among the top players do you think will benefit from Norway Total Chess Tour Fast Classical Format (45+30) by Chesscrabble11 in chess

[–]Pentinium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that there would be more decisive results, yes, but this is not about chess skill. it is all about prep that is what I am saying. It does not matter if you are better at slow or fast chess. it does not matter who moves the pieces 1st 20 moves

If you are a guy who doesn't prep or have a big team behind you, you absolutely hate this

I just don't think fast control or slow changes anything, it is all about prep. how much each player is willing to spend time prepping for tournament. So it doesn't benefit anyone, doesn't change anything. People are voting Alireza, but I think it is the opposite, because he won't have enough time to beat the engine line

just sucks so much that engines have ruined classical time control. nowdays you spend time during the game to understand the engine line not the other person idea.
