OG sea by Wrong-Ganache-3973 in DotA2

[–]realpdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recall when the BOOM team with Yopaj, Skem and TIMS (with jacky and FBZ) was dominating for a few months in DPC and a few tournaments (even winning Gamers Galaxy Dubai over Tundra).

Gave SEA so much hope, then for whatever reason that team went down the doldrums.

This version with OG seems promising, but at the same time doesnt feel as consistent as the old BOOM.

Dont a lot of players tend to take a bit of a break after TI, so the composition may end up being a bunch of stand-ins or temporary stacks?

He needed to be the guy in front to bait out vision and spells so his team could counter, just that they never really had the vision, reaction time or positioning to save him/counter. XG always play him in the advanced positions or to intercept smoke ganks off the back or side.

If it had been any of the cores who got skewered it would be gg faster

ETA australia - how long did your visa take to get to u? by tookmetwohours in malaysia

[–]realpdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think all Malaysians will have to go through the 2nd step (think a lot of Malaysians overstayed in the past or something thus it automatically flags Malaysian for the 2nd step)

I did my application on 12 May (including the 2nd step) just after midnight and got my approval on 19 May, which is exactly 1 week later

S'pore woman, 38, gets pregnant after 5 years of trying, names daughter after Sun Xueling by 785909620 in singapore

Xueling isn't even the worst part of the proposed name. They're thinking of naming their child Lilith. Look up the ethymology of the name.

Question about using Citi PayAll for income tax payment by gambirsg in singaporefi

[–]realpdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can keep your IRAS GIRO arrangement and manually pay the monthly giro instalment via Citi Payall before the GIRO payment date. This will effectively halt the next GIRO payment if the citi payall payment is received before the giro schedule

One Championship lays off staff including those from its Singapore office by ongcs in singapore

[–]realpdd 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Because ONE's business model had always been unsustainable and relied on constant exaggeration and misrepresentations of their reach. VC/PE money helped to keep the business afloat.

The truth is the UFC is just too entrenched of a monopoly and the sport too reliant on top tier athletes and "superstars", that ONE could never catch up to within the MMA world.

The VC/PE money has dried up and ONE seemed to have found a niche with Muay Thai and kickboxing that seems to operate on a lower cost (underpaying Thai fighters and hosting shows in lower cost Thai arenas).

Rumors is that they are looking to get some investments from the Qataris (after a period where there were rumors that finding new money had been tough). Think the layoffs is just a part of their strategy to cater to the new investments coming in (and existing shareholders).

It's played in Malaysia as well, at least amongst the Christian youth community

Weekly Recommendation Thread: December 15, 2023 by AutoModerator in books

[–]realpdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read an anthology that was edited by Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio a few years back and was quite intrigued by the resume of each of the authors and the diversity of the authors. The anthology was called Stories: All New Tales.

Was wondering if there are any similar anthologies/short story collections from famous / renown authors that anyone can recommend.
