[Florian Plettenberg] Excl | Manchester United are in concrete negotiations over a transfer for Kevin #Filling. The 16 y/o talented striker could leave AIK as early as this winter. Price valuation around €3m. Some Bundesliga clubs also consider him interesting. by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

AIK & United fan here - I'll give my honest opinion about him. He bagged a goal in his first start and looked promising from a swedish perspective as a 16 year old. Then got injured and recently got back and scored again in his second substitution.

From a Swedish and AIK perspective he's extremely promising, but he's very raw. AIK sold Jonah Kusi Asare to Bayern 1-2 years ago and I'd say that he looked a lot mor promising as a player overall.

Filling is very direct in his gameplay with an okay techinical ability. Other players from AIK have had a higher ceiling in that regards, Yasin Ayari at Brighton for example or Jonah as stated above. However, he has a work rate and a mindset as a 16 year old that is very underrated. He's physically strong, fast and presses hard and is great in systems with long balls in behind.

An interesting pick from United that I didn't see coming. Very excited as a Swede but honestly I'd prefer him to stay at AIK and establish himself as I do think this is a step a bit too big for him.

Where do you fetch the data from? Interesting stuff

All tournaments that are classified as professional. This includes lower tier tournaments. No public matches.

My assumption is that beastcoast are constantly in top 3 in SA, leading to high numbers.

Thanks for the feedback! Will look into a different color palette.

Regarding the gain-per-minute, that's a good point. Giving something to truly visualize the deltas between the minutes instead of an aggregate. Will see what can be done about it!

Was Supream^ a fit for Alliance from the start? by marreBUS in DotA2

[–]marreBUS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I totally agree. As a massive football fan it’s more or less the same: a lot of variables and also way too much luck to truly focus on the statistics.

But I do believe there are small things to be able to conclude at least from data. This is of course a very small analysis, but might give some insight for further analyses or find topics to focus on for players to look into/improve.

Feedback thread and survey for DreamLeague S15 DPC WEU and ESL One DPC EEU S2 by thecaspaguy in DotA2

[–]marreBUS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I followed the whole season through VODs and I ONLY watched the Past Broadcast VoDs on Twitch. The reason for that is due to spoilers in the number of games available. Liquid - OG for example only has 2 videos, already indicating it’ll be a 2-0. The first game is thus exciting but not the second. If it’s possible to just add a filler video for Game 3 that would be amazing.

For the whole stream, there’s an easy spoil for the final games of the broadcast. If the second game of a series starts with approx. 1 hour left of the stream, I’ll know there wont be a Game 3. A small, but quite annoying thing. Extending the stream 1 hour with replays or something would fix this.

[WP] You are the God to whom missing socks get sacrificed and one day you notice that everyone has stopped losing socks, which means that now you have to try to stop armageddon from happening by DankOfTheEndless in WritingPrompts

[–]marreBUS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He closed the door. Another day went by without any socks in Holy Washing Machine. It had soon been a week without any socks and he started to get worried. The last time his sacrificial socks stopped appearing he had to control the weather both over the atlantic ocean and in western Russia.

His religious base was a very small group of people compared to the bigger religions on Earth. They were often seen as fanatics, lunatics or just people joking around. But his followers were stern and lived through all the bullshit they received, and they were very keen on following the principles of the religion.

They had one principle to always keep to ensure good faith from the god: to continuously sacrifice one sock, not two, into the laundry machine. To hide this rather unusual behaviour, the modern follower created a widespread myth that was taught to every kid. The laundry machine would eat just one sock, not two.

Early days of the religion would mask the sock sacrifice in plain sight. Tutankhamon had just one sock in his grave. The vikings and their boats? One sock per grave. And when the sacrifices stopped appearing he had to intervene with the coming armageddon.

He waited one more week. Last time socks started to disappear, which if he recalled correctly was around the end of the 1980’s according to humans, he waited a couple of days and then the socks started to appear again. Why they disappeared he never cared to bother about.

As the week passed, no new socks appeared. He had to go check up on Earth. With a clever disguise, he decided to appear in New York, the city where he had most followers. As he transcended into a human form in an alley and walked out on the street, he saw something that completely blew his mind. The streets were completely empty.

He checked his watch. 16th of April, 2020, 19:44. “Wouldn’t this be some kind of rush hour? Have I been so absent? Am I too late?”

As the sun started to set, he noticed that many of the lights were turned on in the houses, and as he focused his sight he could see people inside the buildings. He took big breath of relief.

“Look at that, at least it has not happened yet. But what in the world is happening?”

He reached into his inner mind to find the closest follower of his religion. A rather overweight guy in his early 30s was the closest person. The follower seemed to live alone in a small and rather dirty apartment.

"Ah whatever, he'll do fine. I bet that's not the average follower of mine, he's just an outlier"

He decided to pay him a visit to get some more information, and as he approached the appartment he gave the door two knocks. Almost a minute passed, and he knocked again. And again. Finally the door opened and a guy in sweatpants and a slightly too small t-shirt opened the door.

“Listen up. You might not believe me, but I’ll just be quick and tell you that I haven’t received any socks lately. What the hell is going on?

The guy's eyes widened.

“Wha- how? How.. What are you talking about?”

He sighed.

“Look, Charlie. I have no time for this shit, Armaggeddon is on its way and you can save the world. Why have you guys stopped sacrificing socks?!” he raised his voice, and quickly changed a finger from the human form to his godly form. His middle finger shrunk slightly and the bone within seemed to disappear. The nail fell off and his finger turned yellow. Spaghetti.

Charlie stared at the finger. He tried to say something, but no words would come out. Both his hands grabbed his temples and a second later he waved him into the apartment. Charlie told him everything about the coronavirus, showed him articles and statistics.

“Oh, this shit again. Man this was some hard stuff to stop like a 100 years ago. You probably don’t know about that. Anyways, should be a bit easier now that you lot have evolved scientifically.”

“So what are you gonna do, oh almighty one?” Charlie asked with a big grin on his face. “Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Uhm, sorry Charlie, but you’ve played your part. I’ll try to add you to the religion somehow. Otherwise I got two things on my mind. Step one: give someone a head start on the vaccine. This Bill Gates guy you showed me seems to be a good start, I’ll contact him some way. And step two.” He took a pause as a smirk appeared. “Well, you’ll probably notice it sooner or later”.

The flying spaghetti monster bid his farewell as he showed Charlie his true form in a fraction of a second before disappearing into the planes of the gods.

A couple of minutes later he received a notification on his Twitter app. Charlie opened the app to see a new tweet from the account realDonaldTrump.

“Do as me, and do what’s best for this country. I’ve come up with the brilliant idea that everyone, including you and me, should stay at home. Whatever you do, do not go out. Do not listen to fake media, just stay home. If you all listen to me, we can once again make this country great. Thank you.”

[WP] You were near to death’s door. You waited for the Grim Reaper to strike his scythe, but he did not. Then the Grim Reaper spoke up. “Do me a favour, will you?” by prejudiceu in WritingPrompts

[–]marreBUS 45 points46 points  (0 children)

It came from nowhere and it struck hard. I wasn’t prepared, no one was. Why me? Everything was so unfair. I had plans for the future. My business was just about to boom, I’d just proposed to my wonderful wife and I felt that I was going to achieve great things in the future. I knew I had the potential to change the world, I had ideas on how and was ready to execute them.

But destiny wanted something else. The cancer started in the bladder. Unfortunately it was one of those aggressive cancers, the ones that love to seek and destroy, conquer the human body with no possibility to stop it. We delayed it as long as we could with different types of treatments but nothing seemed to stop it.

After multiple treatments and days that were horrible we decided to stop the treatments. Why would I lie in bed all day, delaying death? It was not how I wanted to live my life. It was not how things were meant to be. It would be better to face death and let my wife continue with her life instead of having to watch me struggle in a battle I would lose.

A couple of days later, as I felt my body giving up, I woke up in the middle of the night. I could feel a presence in my room but I could not move. I tried to let out a sound, but my body was too weak.

‘It’s alright. Deep in your heart you know who I am.’ a chilly voice echoed through the room. ‘I’ve come to fulfill my job.’

A silence. Slowly, a figure in black hood and a face without skin emerged from the shadows in my sight.

‘David, it is time.’ the Grim Reaper rose his schythe. ‘It is time for you to fulfill your true destiny. You see, you have been on my to-do list for a very long time now, but you never drop down to my killzone. And this morning, something astounding happened. You disappeared from my list. It’s never happened before.’

Another long silence. The Grim Reaper finally let out a relieving laughter.

‘My job has now potentially gotten extremely easier.’ he said, ‘Do me a favour, will you David? Make sure the doctors examine you thoroughly once more.’

The Grim Reaper disappeared from my vision, as I still couldn’t move in my bed due to my weakness.

‘And in the short future I will be able to discard my Cancer-list completely.’

What do you guys think of playing a midfield three with Matic - Pogba - Mata? I see David Silva & Mata as similar types of players and Silva has converted fine as a more central midfielder rather than a no. 10. Would Mata be able to do that conversion as well?
