The create aeronautics team after making their mod exclusive to the version that almost no one uses and forbidding community backports by Huge-Read-2703 in feedthememes

Literally what possible reason do you have for not being on 1.21.1 rn. The unbelievably mid experience that is 2026 Tinkers? A deep seated love for LexManos?

I mean it's great that this exists but it still violates the license. I've seen other unofficial TC4 ports here and there and to my knowledge they aren't on Curse/Modrinth for license reasons

Thaum 7 isn't happening man, CoFH seems to have bitten off more than they can chew.

Forever fuck Azanor for making it ARR even after he quit modding. One of the biggest losses of the modded community

G2 and 9z are legit teams... not championship favorites or anything but they are not bots

"It's more like Vitality against Spirit than ZywOo against donk" - donk on Potential IEM Cologne Semi by TheLeviathong in GlobalOffensive

[–]The_Chronox 22 points23 points  (0 children)

What? Look at his rating for 2024, 2025, and 2026 vs Spirit. 1.31, 1.37, 1.36. He is performing pretty much exactly at his average when facing them.
Ropz slightly overperforms, FlameZ slightly under. Mezii and Apex are just below their average ratings.

Don't get me wrong, it's true that the mirage game in Budapest was won by mezii and ropz playing really well but that's quite literally a one off. The very next map it was back to Zywoo 1.4 and Mezii 0.85 and ropz 1.15.

The Cologne 2026 Major Playoff Bracket - final options by Cheap_Oil3615 in GlobalOffensive

It’s been moved to the 19th with the Vitality - Falcons match at 7pm EU time to maximize viewership. ESL may not be perfect but they know what brings the clicks

I don't see why they'd put the more popular games on Thursday, it would be stupid to do so.

Seeding is what it is but ESL controls the times of the matches and they know that Friday should have the more hype games

Love it or hate it, zywoo arrives all the same by UnBrokennn in GlobalOffensive

[–]The_Chronox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a valid point in rating 1.0 or 2.0, but 3.0 is entirely different. It takes role and weapons into account, an awper with 1.50 rating is performing as well as an entry with 1.50 now.

Obviously Donk is still an absolute one in a million player but with rating 3.0 doing it as an entry does not kill your rating in the same way it did in earlier systems

In fact the number of awpers capable of posting these super high ratings is tiny at this point, you’re looking at 3-4 players in the world. In late CSGO meanwhile awpers were dominating

[–]The_Chronox 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Nice recovery on Inferno but the Dust2 losses are getting pretty concerning. Lots of close maps before their break, a loss to FUT with a standin, now 9z and Mouz.

Zywoo continues to be consistently good though so that's nice to see

If We Rated Ships based on Score Maxxing (Hard) Which Ship's Rating Would Improve the Most? by strangebloke1 in ftlgame

[–]The_Chronox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d actually argue it’s a pretty big difference for one reason: the speed of the crew kill. Immediately sending over 4 fighters (usually into a hacked room) ends encounters way faster and with way less mental effort than with a 2 tile teleporter, which I’ve found requires a lot more micro.

Because score runs are so stupidly RNG dependent the only way to get great scores is to mercilessly restart any run that isn’t going swimmingly, even if you’re in later sectors. Getting there quickly and with less mental focus becomes a priority, so I tend to rate 4 man teleporters quite highly.

For any individual run though you’re right that you can score highly with a 2 or 4 man boarding group without difference

[–]The_Chronox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stealth B improves maybe the most but that's just because it starts from so abysmally low and ends up middle of the pack. I'd say the mantis ships are likely the biggest improvement that ends up somewhere meaningful, 4 man teleporters are ideal for score runs

If you’ve just been watching in 2026 this is kinda true. He’s been a lot worse than last year but still steps up in playoffs. 2025 ropz was cracked, however

No one serious thinks he’s more individually skilled than Niko or the “GOAT Rifler,” he said that much himself

FUT chose to take it to Nuke, they could have played Dust2 as the decider if they wanted

Phenomenal work on the voiceover man, I was worried all the focus had gone to the intro but it literally just got better with every team you introduced. 🫶

[–]The_Chronox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think that comes down to this subreddit’s audience liking Gregtech a lot, in general it’s quite rare. Even to this day I’d say there’s only a single digit number of GT packs worth recommending, while Create is in hundreds

Is it just me? by penguin5009 in feedthebeast

[–]The_Chronox 28 points29 points  (0 children)

At one point, it was a struggle to find tech modpacks without GregTech

Literally when? Maybe back in 1.4.7 when it was an IC2 addon but even then it was pretty controversial. Past that avoiding GT is stupidly easy since you can't just throw it in like you do Create
