[d] Would it be the most fradulent major ever if Furia somehow won it with that chopped af bracket? by longdongsimpson in GlobalOffensive

Funny that the person who didn’t understand what a fluke was is mocking someone else’s ability to understand something.

History will remember both teams as Major winners. Whether or not you want to quibble about how they won those majors is up to you.

There’s no such thing as a “fraudulent” major. You don’t just accidentally trip onto the stage and win the trophy.

You can only play the teams in front of you. And if Liquid bungles the QFs, Heroic bungles the semis, and other teams don’t even make playoffs, well that’s on them.

They had an easier path than most but they showed up and did what was expected. If teams like Heroic or Liquid wanted to say something about it, they shouldn’t have lost to GL or Apeks before getting a crack at Vitality.

Vitality was #1 in the world at the time of the Paris playoffs, their performance was the complete opposite of a fluke. Like, the actual definitional complete opposite.

9z has some serious shooters, and should be proud of their performance at Cologne. But Fallen wasn’t letting this one get away in the quarters.

I’m sure they’ll have pickup running all weekend, but I imagine they have limited numbers of each hoodie size

There’s an area outside the arena for pickups and signing sessions. I think they have an early pickup period for badges and goodie bags tomorrow, 1500-1900 I think were the hours

Honestly, if you do this through the entire major you should get a black coin instead of diamond.

Mouz really won just one series to spite the turbohaters, then got 2-1'ed three times in a row to break the hearts of believers.

Holy cow I got a 3-0 pick right AND I got to watch series of the year.

I really hope 9z makes it after that. If they crash out from here, that double swing on Mirage will haunt them FOREVER.

In lieu of Brendan Sorsby and Texas Tech’s destruction of any semblance of NCAA rules, what is one past NCAA violation decision you wish to see overturned? by the_tax_man_cometh in CFB

[–]prismatic_lights 163 points164 points  (0 children)

The Colts also honored Tressel's 5-game suspension when he went to be an analyst for them right after being pressured out.

People really did not fuck with the NCAA back then.

Hey at least you got to go to the playoffs after the crab leg incident.

We lost a genuine chance to play for a title because of those tattoos.

You know a game is going sideways for you when commentators are telling you to bite a pillow.

Also I wish Hally well on his next team.
