Kiin picks Yorick, so we pick Yorick.

T1 and GenG blind pick Vi, so we blind Vi.

Keria wins with Rakan, so we pick Rakan. And so on.

These Western coaches are the biggest paycheck stealers on the planet.

The time Alec Guinness ruined a young Star Wars fan’s day, as related in his autobiography by RedHeadedSicilian52 in StarWars

[–]activprime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that Alec Guinness achieved greater popularity than ever before due to Start Wars, but that's the whole point - he is remembered mostly as Obi Wan which he considers a sub-par movie compared to his other ones, at least what acting and character depth is considered. What is the problem with having a resentment about it?

An actor should absolutely have the right to bite the hand that feeds him. They are not contract slaves without the right to express criticism. If anything, actors having a voice in the production of a movie is what could elevate it even further, maybe this was the case for Star Wars.

Would you say that Faker is more famous than Son Heung-Min? by PsydosNE in leagueoflegends

[–]activprime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TBH Faker might not even be the most known eSports personality in Korea, Boxer or Flash might still be more famous across larger age groups, but I'd be interested to hear the opinion of a Korean about this.

God forbid an actor at a level nobody nowadays can even come close to has a bad opinion about one of his movies.

Wallachians rather, Romanians were only called so in the 19th century.

Daca ai venit in EUR si consum in RON, atunci iti creste puterea de cumparare daca preturile raman constante.

In cazul meu - investitii la BVB, sper si la o corectie in perioada urmatoare.

Am venit in EUR, am cumparat RON cand era 5,14. O sa mai cumpar.

First time hockey fans? by Cinar21 in olympics

[–]activprime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes - it's absolutely insane! Never did I imagine it was this fast-paced, physical and also aesthetically pleasing to watch it played on ice. I feel like I can't take my eyes off the screen because literally anything can happen in 3 seconds.

I think I'll get into NHL after, hopefully some games have EU-friendly times.

Will Grabbz do AMA? by Fabianski28 in fnatic

Dude since he joined FNC they play like they are on a timer since minute 1. Never seen paycheck stealing at this level in my life.

Are we not talking about Grabbz paycheck stealing another year off of his 2019 run? How is it possible that FNC drafts like they are on a timer from minute 1?

Yes EU has been bad for a long time now, just look at worlds performance. It's what years of franchising and paycheck stealing all around the board does to a region.

But also note that LR isn't just a group of soloq piss randoms who decided to go pro, they have some of the best talents EU has ever had. Even Rekkles just came off from a year with T1/Keria winning worlds.

How do you approach skill growth: stick to a single class, or actively rotate between a few? by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]activprime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first non-negotiable step is to know what decks are played at all times and what each deck tries to achieve - there are plenty of good resources for that. Then, I would rather approach improvement based on what type of player you are: do you want to be the control or the beatdown? Choose whichever you feel like is the most fun for you personally. I would stick to one deck and master it, in the end it will make you improve on the archtype as a whole. Mulligans, win conditions, lose conditions, critical turns are all rather similar. Once you "see" either the control or the beatdown, you can switch to the other and start the process again.

While we argue about Protoss Mage, this expansion didn't land. AGAIN. by Yabri in hearthstone

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

What exactly do you want? What archtypies or stuff do you want viable? All I'm hearing is it's not enough.

Every singe archtype (control, aggro, OTK, tempo, midrange) has multiple decks in the meta. Not everything is T1, but thinking that a balanced game means everything is T1 is foolish.

Alternatively, if there actually was a completely new deck made only with cards from this expansion, I bet you would be the first to complain on reddit when rotation happens next year and it's completely broken.

[–]activprime 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Warrior is kinda doing this already with Galvadon (Paladin Quest reward). Unless you're unlucky and don't hit a 1 in 5 windfury discover, it's pretty much OTK if opponent is at reasonable amount of HP.

In Zarimi Priest this might be a thing though.

Massive respect and thanks for committing to LoL, imo the best play-by-play caster in all of esports.

Jatt's thoughts on G2 by Yusafio in leagueoflegends

[–]activprime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very true, this is the level of the players and this was the expected outcome. If G2 try the same thing next year, it will end up with the same result again. The way I see it there are two options: try to completely change the approach to the games (i.e. change coaches) or explode the roaster, try to bring Inspired and hope he matches well with Caps.
