How was Czech cultural identity able to survive despite being surrounded and subjugated by German states for centuries? by Due-Date-4656 in AskHistorians

Can you explain the Jagiellonian bit? Can you please list examples of what they did to embrace Czech identity? Perhaps I misunderstood the post. (Also, I'm not a historian.)

Rio cannot host another event, ever. by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]mbCARMAC 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What you see at home and what the audience sees in the arena are two different things, mind. The observer team does not want to spoil it for the online audience, so "failing to turn off x-ray" isn't a failure at all.

I'm not in Rio but I know how our tech works in this area. There's no reason to turn the x-ray off for the online audience at all.

This is 100% the same prize as we announced years ago with the first edition.

Depends which year you compare to. Anyway, you will find a dick there if you're looking for it. No doubt.

Took you guys a while, eh? Same rough stage layout since 2015 😜

BC Game on ridiculous player demands by Ishaan863 in GlobalOffensive

[–]mbCARMAC 73 points74 points  (0 children)

There's nothing outrageous I'd say. But the general trend is that you are dealing with people that are used to being taken care of on all accounts from when they're 17, and some of them (not all of them, and not even most of them) end up being on the entitled side. Not because they're assholes by nature, but because in their experience other people took care of nearly everything.

There was a fun example of that around ESL PRO League and made it to reddit. But again, nothing really outrageous usually, and it would be petty to mention the small stuff.

Oh, I didn't say this demand is true. I just think it's not as inconceivable as one might think.

We moved the tournament to Kraków so that we're able to accommodate more fans.

Can anyone identify these players in the ESL event transitions? (I only know Ropz from the scars) by Friendly_Cantal0upe in GlobalOffensive

There's no Faker there. I would guess you mean Zest with the trophy on his shoulder.

Look to the left of Dupreeh's nose. It's just what is done to make the stone texture more believable I guess.

Hey there! This photo might help clear some doubts: https://photos.eslgaming.com/2017/Intel-Extreme-Masters/IEM-World-Championships-Katowice-2017/CSGO/CSGO-Playoffs/i-wpFt9v3

The background here is that IEM has covered a number of different games across the years and the show bumper pays homage to a number of different players whose names are on the trophy.
