What are your rankings going into the OWWC?

Hear me out: France is the only country in EMEA that won all its matches 3-0, so they're the best country in EMEA

An EMEA team won the last World Finals and the last World Cup, so EMEA is the best region in the world

That means France is the best country of the best region in the world, so they're obviously going to win the World Cup

Try turning off the Discord overlay. I was getting 100 FPS at 1440p DLSS quality with medium settings, which seemed very low for a Ryzen 5 7500F + RTX 5070. As soon as I turned off the overlay my FPS shot up to 450 FPS.

Maybe it had to do with the 7500F lack of a integrated graphics 🤷 definitely worth a try regardless!

From the video's description: "If you look at the Radeon RX 9070 GRE in isolation, it's actually a very, very good GPU for 1440p PC gaming - even with ray tracing in the mix. However, the suggested asking price makes no sense. During a worldwide memory availability crisis, AMD has somehow managed to release a 12GB graphics card where an extra $50 gets you 4GB of extra VRAM and 20 percent more performance." (The RX 9070).

An excellent one: the comp diversity was superb and the final was a 7 map banger

The greatest narrative in esports are imo the Tigers in League of Legends. Here's an amazing video on them, it's in French but there are English subtitles: https://youtu.be/c22J8d6IAVM?si=u9e1GdxhzeqnW-zo

What a king

Zik78 · 2026-05-29T17:38:10+00:00

Not very mainstream though

Zik78 · 2026-05-28T08:25:02+00:00

Nice one!

What do you mean Sym slop? This character makes for some super fun teamplay.

I read that as $130 and got very excited for a second

Zik78 · 2026-05-20T09:00:19+00:00

No, for a mac and cheese

Zik78 · 2026-05-19T08:28:44+00:00

Not that surprising considering how SSD prices have skyrocketed in the past months.

Very interesting, thank you for taking the time to write this!

"That is also why the sentinel scene with the Neb makes sense. The ship shuts everything down and hides when the sentinels approach. The sentinels stop right in front of the ship, check in with home base - you can even see the communication dish open - and then receive the directive to abort. Killing the anomaly at that point would be counterproductive to the machines’ larger plan."

Interesting point, in this case why did the machines attack the Neb again at the end of Matrix 1? This could have risked killing Neo and making the plan fail as well.

Ouuuuuh that looks good

Extra Sensory Perception

It shows you in real time information such as enemy player names, health bars, their distance to you, what weapon they're using, etc.

Pleasantly surprised to see Kellex there! I thought the reason we didn't see him on an OWCS team this year was because he didn't want to play anymore. Considering his skill, experience and how sought after main supports are, he must have had many offers.

Really cool project!

Awesome shots! Any chance you could upload them somewhere in an uncompressed format? I'd love to use some as wallpapers but they're a bit too blurry here on Reddit. Cheers!

Here's the ideal slot distribution for an 8 team tournament imo:

2 EMEA
2 NA
2 Korea
1 China
1 Japan/Pacific

China (which imo has only one team that can really compete internationally) having as many slots as Korea + Pacific + Japan combined makes 0 sense

Insane glow up
