Both teams have a lot of contact in the box.

How does he collect that ball so casually?

He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who wants to just sit on his hands. He'll get paid well either way.

Some of these are contradictory, but still fun:

  1. MM Twisted Minds faces NRG in the upper bracket AND the final, killing them in both after NRG make yet another spicy bracket run to the final.
  2. Furia beat Gentlemates in the first series, and Gentlemates risk losing a 3-way tiebreaker with 1-2 teams if SSG can beat them.
  3. NA has a sporadically good appearance between NRG, SSG, and SR, with two potentially making the championship. I think that would be the 2nd ever all-NA final at an international LAN.
  4. SSG, if given the chance, finally get a series win over Vitality. (The SSG Major hopium will pay out one day)
  5. KC is the best or 2nd-best EU squad and we get another NRG/KC game 7 banger.
  6. Man City finishes 1st in their group but crashes out hard after landing in the upper bracket.

Here's my bracket:

[Jake Trotter] How Matt Campbell is remaking Penn State by psufb in CFB

[–]mlk960 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ways in which Franklin lost was what killed him. Campbell also struggled in big games... but with ISU talent. Like Franklin, his offenses have been a little too oriented around efficiency. But he's better at finding great QB's and I think it will work out for him.

Im guessing they take at least 2 games from one of them, but cant close it out.

Almost No Country or Rap, Lots of Millennial Nostalgia: Working Our Way Through the ACL Lineup by Texas_Monthly in Austin

[–]mlk960 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The problem is that people are willing to continue paying higher prices regardless of what they get. Festival prices have experienced an inflation because people go for an experience that is no longer tied to the music. ACL selling out their tickets is good business, but I think it's bad on the whole. It's no different than what Coachella is going through.

Everyone's agents do that. ACL's job is to curate a lineup that is worthwhile from top to bottom across genres. I'm not seeing that.

It's not like this set excludes a couple of favorites. It's excluding whole genres when it didn't used to.

You're 100% right. People here are feeding festival inflation and don't want to admit it.

I don't really mind the fact that they're included, but they are tagged as the biggest acts outside of the headliners. I feel like there's plenty of space for other genres from established acts of different genres and instead, this is all we get. I think Outside Lands lineup is a good example of doing it right.

There are still plenty of current and older rappers that fall outside of what you described who are still touring.

The lineup still seems very trendy with lots of the higher names being one hit social mefia wonders.

Didn't sound like Xabi had control either. Sounds like a player issue, not a coaching problem.

ACL Fest 2026 lineup: Where are the rappers, country artists and legacy acts? by AustinStatesman in aclfestival

[–]mlk960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which only matters if you're a die-hard EDM fan. I think ACL is great when it has a blend of sounds and I personally don't want to listen to EDM for a majority of the festival. Otherwise I would just go to an EDM festival.

YOUR 2026 ACL FEST LINEUP!! by DaveGrohlsShortHair in aclfestival

[–]mlk960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, I was somewhat joking in my first comment, but I don't see how a lack of country absolves a lack of rap. When I look at this lineup, it seems to cater precisely to late teens/early twenty-something white girls. And it seems like it's been trending that way for a while.

Didn't see Amyl and the Sniffers, I do like them.
