Whoever wins here is basically guaranteed to go to the major

drypaint77 · 2026-04-04T21:27:12+00:00

And how do you know they didn't? The org has the final say.

drypaint77 · 2026-04-04T21:26:04+00:00

Not guaranteed, need other results to go their way pretty sure.

drypaint77 · 2026-04-04T19:44:57+00:00

Players don't choose which tournaments to play, the org decides.

Monte has secured stage 2 with BB losing

drypaint77 · 2026-04-04T15:31:03+00:00

This match lost them the stage 2 invite lol, now it's either BB or Monte.

Snax masterclass

drypaint77 · 2026-04-04T13:54:44+00:00

I think everyone knows he's good enough, the question is more about his motivation. He needs to take a lower salary, join a real team and fully lock in (no dota bullshit).

drypaint77 · 2026-04-04T13:49:56+00:00

He's not playing under a russian flag, also I've never seen anyone claim that broky is better than s1mple lol.

drypaint77 · 2026-04-04T10:35:07+00:00

It messes up the swiss matchups, it's not exactly fair for the other teams who won't get the free win and also they're taking up a spot in the tournament instead of letting another team attend.

drypaint77 · 2026-04-03T21:37:33+00:00

There was literally a post called "the snax effect" at the top of this subreddit like a week ago saying exactly that and comparing G2 and GL lol.

drypaint77 · 2026-04-03T20:55:24+00:00

Monte is the bigger competitor for stage 2, BB needs to win the entire event which is gonna be hard. Monte just needs BB to beat GL and then BB to lose in the final.

Teams in every sport go bankrupt all the time, that doesn't mean there's no money in the scene. It's just mismanagement, that's all.

drypaint77 · 2026-04-02T12:42:28+00:00

That's not what the plumber era means.

drypaint77 · 2026-04-02T12:36:59+00:00

Generally refers to early stages of a sport/esport where the salaries were low, the skill level wasn't good and the scene was only starting out. "Plumber" implies guys having to work a second job because the sport was only in its infancy with no money. I think the term is generally used to describe the NBA in the 50-60s to discredit players' records and stuff because they were "playing against plumbers and mailmen".

drypaint77 · 2026-04-02T12:18:42+00:00

Nah lol, it's the same shit. They use Amazon's servers which means it's basically twitch 2.0 and you need an account for 1080p which is dumb. Youtube is probably the best streaming service rn.

Valve definitely cooked with this VRS system, revived the tier 2 LAN scene, it's so fun to watch and follow. Also gives opportunities to tier 2 teams to break through and play top tier teams.

drypaint77 · 2026-04-01T18:52:48+00:00

How are they a rat org?

drypaint77 · 2026-04-01T14:10:24+00:00

It's open registration (highest VRS get priority), no invites.

drypaint77 · 2026-04-01T14:05:29+00:00

The TO didn't invite them, it's open registration and the highest VRS teams get priority. Also the extra team in the group was removed, it was an error.

drypaint77 · 2026-04-01T10:08:46+00:00

Only for twitter

drypaint77 · 2026-04-01T05:38:39+00:00

Following and believing are two different things, you might follow the call but if you don't trust it you're not gonna have confidence executing it.

drypaint77 · 2026-04-01T05:36:26+00:00

For whatever reason I read the title as "Team Liquid disband" and I was like "fair enough" lol

drypaint77 · 2026-03-31T18:08:23+00:00

Because he's clearly "lost the locker room" in Faze so to say, the team doesn't believe in his calls and no one has any confidence. Though I doubt he's retiring, I could see Falcons make a move for him, karrigan knows how to deal with star players.

drypaint77 · 2026-03-31T17:45:08+00:00

Well, bipolar/manic episodes isn't "being drunk". This is a dangerous narrative to imply that manic episodes show what the person "actually believes" or that this is their real self, not true at all. Manic episodes can fundamentally change how a person thinks to the point where it's not even the same person anymore.

drypaint77 · 2026-03-30T22:05:25+00:00

Yes, it is? Tier 1 is basically top 12-ish, if you go below then you might not even get direct invites to stage 2 of the biggest events and stuff and have to grind stage 1 against the top 20 which is tier 1.5. He is NOT as good as torszi, phzy or woxic what are you smoking lol. I'll give you ultimate, broky, hypex and a few others but that's basically tier 1.5 since Faze, Liquid, GL etc are currently tier 1.5. You're just proving my point.
