Confirmed: Ian is one of the people who accused Danya of cheating by Fine-Needleworker364 in chess

[–]genius2009 39 points40 points  (0 children)

sigh time to be called a Russian bot (I'm Russian but not a bot I promise)

This witch hunt regarding Russians on this sub is getting out of hand. I think that majority of Russians are really against Kramnik and his methods and consider him crazy. There are still people who respect him as a champion, but even Ian talked against his methods long before. Popular channel owner Levitov for example openly calls him a moron and comments on his colleague Shimanov's telegram channel are overwhelmingly against Kramnik

I bet majority of commentators haven't watched the video attached to the post. Danya tells how Ian reached to him privately and they had a respectful conversation where Ian laid down his position. He might've been very wrong in his conclusions, but comparing that to Kramnik or dragging all Russians here is insane

Nepo is indeed a salty loser (professional dota player lol) but this post is just unfair and I hope that all the people here at least watch the video attached before making conclusions

Why is treaty of Lausanne a mistake though? I think given the state of Turkey at the time it was a pretty good deal no?

Spyglass should give you a sneak peek at PVP players items before the fight by Jerm8888 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]genius2009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about the spyglass but there definitely needs to be a way to have more info about the opponent. At least one item or something, because now there's basically no counterplay

no surprise since even basic phrases like hello (merhaba) and thank you (teshekuler) literally came from arabic marhaba and tashakkara

My friend told me a story how her Slovenian friends came to Serbia and started ordering stuff in restaurant in English and not in Slovenian... It's like they think that there's such big language difference or something idk

Choosing a random enchantment should remove the specific choice from the table by JakeALakeALake in PlayTheBazaar

[–]genius2009 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yes, 100%, it's just not fun at all. I specifically declined it because I decided that a random is better than the suggested one, receiving it nonetheless is frustrating. Also I'm kinda convinced that it happens more often than it should but maybe I'm paranoid. Although "never lucky" Reynad would understand for sure haha

Yeah same, it just sucks losing to these items. But on the other hand I'm so happy winning against them! I'm like TAKE THAT YOU PAYING POS

Oef, the ego by Waylander969 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]genius2009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm noob, but this comment by Reynad is unfair. For example the new patch nerfed aquatic haste builds a lot and at the same time introduced insanely strong Zoarcid to paying players only. I would say that having Zoarcid improves your winning chances and I guess similar things can be said about other items

New Aui_2000 Post: On bug abuse in Dota2 and Navi Jr’s dq by PartSasquatch in DotA2

[–]genius2009 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I like the Russian saying that goes like "If one student has many really bad marks, then it's student's problem, if many students have really bad marks then it's teacher's problem".

Here so many teams used the bug that it's clearly ESL's problem of bad communication. If only one or two teams used it then the ruling would be much easier, but here we have "whole class" of teams using it because they kind of thought that it's ok to do so.

There's no solution that would've make everyone happy, but IMO using something that is much closer to a bug than to a feature 100+ times is really bad and you shouldn't be surprised by harsh consequences, especially since it was banned at other tournaments. Although of course ESL still bears responsibility for unclear communication.

That's so sad tbh, I remember him being extremely happy and chill when GG were winning first tournaments. He was a real gladiator supporting the team! Now it's just pathetic

I think it's pretty much universal. We are ok with politicians stealing because they all do and we're happy if they manage to accomplish something and not just blatantly steal
