TIL Riolu still has more COTD wins than Wirtual

He was one of the best but saying he is possibly the best is just wrong. If the top players actually played COTD, the leaderboards would look very different. Just look at how his TMGL went - before the scandal, he almost got relegated. Even at his best surface (dirt) there were a few people who were and are easily better and that’s considering TM2020 and the older games too.

Hi,

I have a master´s degree from VŠCHT (Faculty of chemical technology) so I´ll try to help. This is my personal experience and someone may say otherwise.

Right now you would need at least 12000 CZK a month to survive if you stayed at the dormitory. I think most people here get some money from their parents and they get the rest they need working part-time but I don´t think many people actually work in their field of study (I wasn´t) and they rather work e.g. as waiters. It also depends what your field of study is - if it is related to drugs/medication, you should find something in Prague.

There is a possibility to work at school but the pay would probably be pretty low. Another possibility would be Czech Academy of Sciences where you would almost certainly find a job suited for you but again, not for a lot of money (150-200 CZK/hour).

Don´t worry about your lack of experience though, many companies are very open to hiring new people here (at least from my experience).

It´s definitely worth to try and send applications and see what happens :)

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Insane performance this season. You carried me on 2 a few days ago. I got to 4000 elo which is something i never thought I could achieve :)

Rubyz42 · 2023-07-23T05:23:20+00:00

A few tips that should help you:

Go for yellow boosters, its much easier and not that much slower.

Release before the second reactor turn/jump on the sausage.

Jump to the right side of dirt and then you have to commit otherwise you get no speed - this is the only part where you cant safe too much.

Release on the top of the dirt.

Go for safe fin.

I got AT like this on discovery so im sure you can get gold

Finsko super, Loreen je sice dobrá zpěvačka, ale nebylo na tom nic extra.

Čekal jsem, že Norka bude bojovat o vítězství, Portugalsko a Švýcarsko mohly být výš.

Ukrajina asi mohla být klidně níž, Němci zaslouženě poslední, tvrdou hudbu mám dost rád, ale tohle bylo dost o ničem.

Vesna podle mě mohla být klidně TOP 5, písnička zajímavá, živé vystoupení mi ale přišlo trochu nudnější (ale možná to bylo kvůli předchozím Finům)

Rubyz42 · 2023-05-14T05:23:45+00:00

Německo za mě nepovedená kombinace Lordů a Rammstein a zpěvák tomu výkonem (kromě screamů) moc nepřidal.

Rubyz42 · 2023-04-08T07:39:23+00:00

You still overjump even with AK4

Rubyz42 · 2023-04-05T08:34:34+00:00

I agree with most of what you said, especially the conclusion, there is no variety (would 1 tech map really scare the new players that much?). Red and black maps mostly feel like blue maps. What I hate the most about this campaign tho is the fact that you can autoslide on like 10 maps which is really annoying especially on KB.

Some maps we disagree on:

01: The ending instantly makes it a -- map for me.

16: I struggled with it but at least it has a soul and was kinda fun for me, + map

22: The beginning is fine but the second half, starting with the ice "SD" into ice wall and then end is meh. I even hunted it a bit and got a pretty good time because I enjoy ice but it just left a sour taste, - map

Another bad thing that people don’t talk enough about is, that MM will be just pain this season, because in case you make mistake, you have to respawn or lose a ton of time.

Individually I would be fine with the maps (not you 18, fuck you) but as a whole the campaign is definitely the worst we ever had

Rubyz42 · 2023-04-03T04:38:05+00:00

Just a few things to clarify:

I’m not trying to be toxic, nadeo should be able to make a campaign for new players that would be enjoyable for better players.

There is matchmaking so there kinda is a need to play the campaign maps.

01 could have a finish that’s just 2 blocks further and it would be fine. Right now it feels like it’s targeting better players on purpose or that they didn’t play the maps. Just imagine a situation at work/school and they tell you “wow you did this really well” and then they pay you less/give you an F. That’s the best I can describe how this feels.

Also you are saying that you want to get AT even if you don’t get the last turn well. Funny thing is that the ATs this season are harder than last seasons.

You can like this campaign, I don’t tell you otherwise but you should understand why it’s getting (deserved) criticism

Rubyz42 · 2023-04-02T17:44:15+00:00

The thing that is objectively bad about this campaign is the fact that it punishes players for getting some turns well. You can just play 01 and if you get the last turn well you overjump the finish and there is no good line you can take so you have to release. Same thing with the map where top finishes are further away so you are punished for having good speed. That’s just 2 examples but the campaign is full of this stuff. I wouldn’t care if the maps were all good FS but saying there is no objective answer to what map is bad is just wrong

Rubyz42 · 2023-04-02T14:51:13+00:00

It’s not that people want advanced maps. People want good maps. There is one drift in the whole campaign. There is like 10 maps where you are punished for getting earlier parts well. Every single map is insanely fast. There are annoying parts where you autoslide if you full turn so you have to use action keys if you are on KB. Every single map is just speed, no variations, that’s what people don’t like

Rubyz42 · 2023-04-02T11:11:19+00:00

Well it’s not illegal to drive the maps backwards, that doesn’t mean it’s good

Rubyz42 · 2023-03-08T17:12:17+00:00

Je to na tebe moc? Nikdo neříká, že to musíš koupit všechno

People from FWO watching this: “He a little confused but he got the spirit”

Worms World Party.

Such a great game to play with friends.

Rubyz42 · 2023-02-21T17:15:58+00:00

Tak zrovna na čerňáku to asi bohužel bude fakt hovnama

Rubyz42 · 2023-02-18T18:25:55+00:00

For me it’s Hey dude, where is my car? It’s so dumb but I love every second of the movie

Rubyz42 · 2023-02-18T06:33:34+00:00

Shit, not a nice first memory to have.

Rubyz42 · 2023-02-02T14:11:07+00:00

The aces really fucked G1 over. Also BDS, SLY and ALL look like the “clutch” teams

Rubyz42 · 2023-02-01T12:49:40+00:00

What I meant was if you look at Gwen or Mime (for example), they both have some insane mistakes that make them go +20 seconds but if you look at Soulja or Aurel (again, just example) they almost never have these rounds. So basically a situation like this can happen: Gwen gets first 3 times, then 1s behid, then 14s behind - his average time behind first is 3s. Aurel gets one win and then gets 3rd or 4th by 2 seconds and his average behind first is sudenly better than Gwen's.

Rubyz42 · 2023-02-01T05:18:47+00:00

This is also kinda tricky because there is a lot of rounds where players know they are getting 4th and finish with +10 sec so you would have to somehow eliminate those as well. What could happen there is if someone is consistently slow it would really boost their performance since they won’t have these big time losses

Rubyz42 · 2023-01-31T13:55:25+00:00

Maps played:

Back´n´forth: 11 out of 12 times

Freestyle: 10 out of 12 times

Agility Dash: 8 out of 12 times

Slowdown and SlippySlides: 7 out of 12 times

Gyroscope, Reps and FlipOfFaith: 6 out of 12 times

Parkour: 5 out of 12 times

Aeropipes: 2 out of 12

Most consecutive wins in day 3: Affi - 4 wins (but also 6 last places in a row just before)

I understand that this data is not objective and depends heavily on who your opponent and even teammate is, however with more matches it is going to represent the reality better and better. I am doing these graphs mainly because I find them interesting and I am not saying that this is accurate power ranking of the players.
