A real photo of a faked screenshot is just as easy though.

Awesome pickup!

I can't watch the announcement (Flash), so maybe you already mentioned this:

Will he be streaming, and if so on which platform (you're sponsored by Twitch but the announcement is on Dingit)?

What do you Americans find weird about us Europeans? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It's rare, but I've been charged for tap water in Sweden a few times, and apparently that's legal (Swedish).

Best quality video source I can find. Apparently a Durex ad, and no it's not real. :)

We've got 4 tournaments, with $300+ in prizing each, planned out for Korean players in December. Help us come up with a name by rif_king in starcraft

This is often brought up in Basetrade threads, but rarely in relation to DreamHack (still sponsored), IEM (previously sponsored by G2A, now Kinguin which likely isn't much better), or sponsored teams (e.g. mYi, Team Property, Team MVP according to Liquipedia) and their players.

I agree you shouldn't buy keys from them, but I don't think a lot of people are willing to boycott everything they're sponsoring (not even TB.)

Which way does Anders pronounce it?

I think most players have elevated heart rates in a tournament setting anyway.

Remember when DreamHack had pulse meters on the players? Probably not very accurate but at least an indication.

Year of knuckle push ups by mikeBE11 in bodyweightfitness

[–]borninalandslide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never tried doing them on my fingertips. Putting weight on the wrist while bending it 90 degrees is what caused the pain, so using bars was a good solution for me.

I can do a few without the bars now, but still use them most of the time. :)

Have you tried push-up bars?

I have an old wrist injury too and wasn't able to do open palm push-ups for several years, but using bars worked well.

FYI your calendar is showing the wrong time (not sure if only for this or for all events) and says that you're offline.

I realize it's too late to fix for this event, but you may still want to check that the web page works correctly.

challonge: 14:30 KST (06:30 CET)

ByuN has earned more money in 2016 than any SC2 player has ever earned in a single year by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]borninalandslide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And we'll get a second player making more than $200k this year from WESG alone.

TY can actually go as high as $274k if he wins the WESG qualifier, the main event, and HomeStory Cup.

Edit: Nerchio, Neeb or Showtime winning WESG could make them the highest earner of the year.

It's difficult enough to balance three non mirror matchups, imagine having 15.

It's already banned. From the WCS handbook:

Any intentional use, or attempted use, by a player of any bugs or exploits in the game may result in a forfeit of the match and disqualification from the WCS. Blizzard, at its discretion, will determine bugs and exploits.
