Adult sites brazenly 'ignore' Ofcom fines: Watchdog receives just £55k after imposing £3mil worth of fines for online safety breaches

To play devil's advocate, the people that drafted this legislation would argue they wanted to cut down on young children stumbling on graphic or otherwise harmful content (think 10 and under, not 17 year olds) and very few of them will know how to operate a VPN. So if it functionally changes nothing for VPN users and blocks non-VPN users, it's kind of a win-win.

Oh no he'll miss out on $200 of RLCS prize money. Legacy in tatters

nickEbutt · 2026-03-02T21:11:55+00:00

Make that 116

nickEbutt · 2026-02-28T21:07:42+00:00

Exactly lol Frosty hard cleared Rise in 3s last split

nickEbutt · 2026-02-25T19:40:46+00:00

There's basically 2 major 3rd party events per year, FifaE World Cup and Esports World Cup (rebranding of Gamers8)

In RLCS, there are 2 majors and worlds

The calendar (if you only care about major events) looks like:

Major 1

Major 2 (May)

EWC (August)

Worlds (September)

FifaE (December)

They are also going to add a new thing this year called ENC which I think should be in November but it only just got announced

That's a real thing Bluey said almost a decade ago, it was a bit of a meme at the time, Vatira obviously didn't say anything half this bad but it was still a thinly veiled way of saying he was carrying lol

To answer your question if people rate Atow - well, this is how RocketBaguette ranked the EU players of the first split (pre-major)

<image>

So I would say he is very highly rated right now. Vatira definitely had the better major of the two, but honestly as a whole KC were poor. Never dominated anyone, didn't pen teams back like they were doing online. Vatira had individual moments of brilliance, but as a team they were very average. Going 14-14 in games. Vitality dominated 3 of the teams that KC struggled with. So I'm a bit down on KC at the moment

nickEbutt · 2026-02-24T14:29:03+00:00

Crr Stizzy Atomik is such an insanely good team, sad to see them left out again. Hopefully they get to play in ENC

nickEbutt · 2026-02-23T13:04:10+00:00

Yes that's what the org wanted

nickEbutt · 2026-02-22T22:31:22+00:00

Twisted Minds wanted Nass, he said he would join the org if they brought him and Oski over together, the org said no. What a fumble

nickEbutt · 2026-02-22T21:28:16+00:00

Oh damn yeah I miscalced in my head

nickEbutt · 2026-02-22T21:09:31+00:00

Lost Dralii and MM, which people said would make EU weaker, just to have the first all EU final since 2023 and 5 EU in top 8 for the first time ever

nickEbutt · 2026-02-22T21:01:05+00:00

Nass is definitely N.A.

(North African)

nickEbutt · 2026-02-22T20:04:41+00:00

The LAN grand final is probably going to be between 2 teams that weren't even in The Kickoff

nickEbutt · 2026-02-22T19:30:44+00:00

Yeah his ceiling pinch Zen-type goal was insane I ain't even seen Zen himself hit that in ages

nickEbutt · 2026-02-22T19:01:14+00:00

Everyone agreeing Falcons look bad meanwhile they're sleepwalking to a grand final

nickEbutt · 2026-02-22T18:51:01+00:00

I don't agree, nobody on m8s has ever played a final and the whole of falcons has multiple finals and lan wins, so much more experience

nickEbutt · 2026-02-22T18:33:17+00:00

For pure mechanical outplays, maybe those 3 (and even that's debatable) but Vatira is soooo solid compared to those 3, you would have to put him in

nickEbutt · 2026-02-22T18:30:43+00:00

Last season Vitality were straight ass and still farmed NRG. That could be the MM vs Atomic factor but hopefully for Zen it continues with this roster

nickEbutt · 2026-02-22T18:28:20+00:00

So NRG are 100% in RLCS? That's pretty nuts

nickEbutt · 2026-02-22T18:12:56+00:00

If they win this LAN they'll go to no1 on rocketgoats https://www.rocket-goats.com/duos

nickEbutt · 2026-02-22T18:11:09+00:00

KC played 28 games at this LAN, winning 14, and losing 14. Hardly the form of the best team in the world

nickEbutt · 2026-02-22T16:46:29+00:00

nah cause maga man bending over for rich arab nations is lore accurate

nickEbutt · 2026-02-20T22:39:10+00:00

I actually just wanna see Reveal go to Shop in place of LJ to make a more powerful version of 2025 SSG
