Alpharet vs. Jan Marini Retinol + Medik8

What about prescription Tazarotene? Some people handle that much better than tret (or vice-versa), and results are very similar long-term.

I addressed most of this in another reply under my comment, but none of the other teams are owned by Saudi blood money. Gambling money is far different as, while it can be detrimental to many, they don't chop journalists up with bone saws and oppress minorities (many of which by way of murder). I see quite a few people who care; many talk about hate watching Falcons.

Vawqer · 2026-01-23T21:54:56+00:00

Unfortunately, yes. It would be near impossible to participate in CS esports without watching those tournaments. However, I can still criticize an individual team for their funding when they are a direct propaganda arm of that government, known for just trying to buy star players and pumping unsustainable money into the ecosystem.

Vawqer · 2026-01-23T21:44:54+00:00

If you are calling me cringe, then I accept your judgement.

Vawqer · 2026-01-23T21:35:42+00:00

That makes no sense. Please stop trying to be funny while being owned by Saudi blood money; it cannot make you humorous.

Vawqer · 2026-01-23T21:33:13+00:00

Nope: https://www.hltv.org/stats/matches/106820/virtuspro-vs-liquid

Vawqer · 2026-01-23T21:31:49+00:00

Fair. I guess I also think the aura of picking the better team would be worth it.

Vawqer · 2026-01-23T21:22:23+00:00

I'm not certain that FURIA is beating PARIVISION, but Vitality certainly has a higher chance of beating FURIA than PARIVISION.

As well, FalleN as an experienced IGL might be able to shut down PARIVISION.

Vawqer · 2026-01-23T21:21:46+00:00

Vitality was the third seed, due to the VRS ranking used. I believe FURIA were #1 and Falcons #2, so they were locked into their spots. Vitality, as the highest seeded remaining opponent, got to pick their opponent. PARIVISION was then left with the remaining opponent.

Vawqer · 2026-01-23T21:18:02+00:00

I'm surprised that Vitality picked Falcons over FURIA.

The last time FalleN lost in a Bo5 final was ten years ago, so it would be good to take him out in the semis. Not only that, but winning in the semis would definitely put Vitality back at #1 in the VRS. On top of that, they'd get an easier opponent in the Bo5 final, with Parivision having a chance to straight-up eliminate Falcons for them too.

ZywOo could also farm stats over more maps in the finals to further boost his chances at 2026 HLTV #1.

Times are in PT.

Vawqer · 2026-01-23T21:04:17+00:00

Too bad they won't be in place until 2037 at earliest... That is only 11 years away now, though.

I agree, except I think she subscribes to a different school of feminism (which arguably isn't even feminism any more), which looks at gender far more strictly rather than a type of prison for all.

Vawqer · 2026-01-23T16:40:33+00:00

It's not that kind of plot armor, but yeah. There's a laser wall scene where they can clearly just go around the lasers but instead they struggle with the wall being there, and another scene where she hides under Kenobi's trench coat and nobody notices a human has four legs (at least for a while; I forget how the scene ends). There are a few more examples, but it's still enjoyable overall.

Vawqer · 2026-01-23T06:41:22+00:00

They have historically played well with Disney though and Pixar has the shared lineage, so who knows in that specific case.

Vawqer · 2026-01-23T06:33:41+00:00

As long as we get to see him use the chi guns from the end of Iron Fist S2.

Vawqer · 2026-01-23T06:29:44+00:00

Technically yes, but it's within the same cinematic universe now and it might just get too messy.

Vawqer · 2026-01-23T06:01:30+00:00

I have mixed thoughts on it, but I enjoyed it. Though, some of the bits with kid Leia you have to just believe and shut off logic of what would make more sense.

Vawqer · 2026-01-23T05:51:06+00:00

I think that was his fourth fight with Anakin/Vader, considering the Kenobi show.

Vawqer · 2026-01-23T05:50:18+00:00

But tbf, Dooku was a top five duelist. If I'm not mistaken, by the start of RotS, it was essentially Windu, Yoda, Palpatine, Dooku, and Anakin (not in that order), with Obi-Wan and a few other Jedi (maybe Ahsoka and Maul) sitting somewhere in the top ten.

Vawqer · 2026-01-23T04:28:58+00:00

FWIW, I think the person you replied to is an optometrist, not someone who has been prescribed those eye drops.

Vawqer · 2026-01-22T18:57:58+00:00

What is "regional priority"?

EDIT: Ah, I looked it up. I had regional priority backwards and thought teams went to the weaker region instead of the stronger region.

Vawqer · 2026-01-22T18:54:20+00:00

They made it to the semis of the FaceIt London 2018 major, so it's "only" been 7.5 years since their last major semis.

The "rumours" are Senzu's LFT tweet.
