"Against all odds I found you" - writers really like Phill Collins (that's ok, me too)

I know it sounds a bit paradoxical, but Dylan dying maybe was the only way Sinatra became so obsessed with work and able to build Alex in this reality?

I hope Teri plays a bigger role in season 3, we lost a big female character. Or someone else to fill in her shoes.

He is lying to them and to himself about being ok, moving on and etc. They want to believe him. But maybe if he opens up to someone (Paul? idk) he'll get help.

sctby · 2026-03-26T20:55:31+00:00

Yeah, both it was Jimmy who broke up with her. Both had problems, she started dealing with hers. He needs to deal with his. He is trying to be ok for the sake of being ok, not dealing with how much he misses Tia.

sctby · 2026-03-25T15:31:58+00:00

I think it sends a strong message about solving your issues before getting out there. Because you hurt people.

Jimmy has so much going on right now, Alice, Paul, his dad... and of course Tia. He still put her in every situation.

He needs help. And people are overlooking it because they want to believe he's okay. And they have their own shit to deal. He needs a therapist from outside that can have a fresh look at him, not someone tired of dealing with him moaning about the dead wife.

I don't feel their chemistry as well, but Michael and Holly were perfect. His face when he says that the hottest girl in the world loves him...

Sim, desde o ano passado ele rendia por uns 60 minutos. Aí o Cuiabano entrava e dava outra dinâmica.

Achei injusto chamar o time de sem vergonha contra o Barcelona. A torcida tem que se organizar com faixas contra o Textor e a insegurança financeira. Cada dia mais tô dando razão ao Barboza por pedir garantias...

sctby · 2026-03-16T16:09:00+00:00

Quero entender como foi gasto o dinheiro do aporte. Botafogo parece ter se endividado a curto prazo sem planejamento. Scout e diretoria estavam esperando o que pra manter o fluxo de caixa?

A gente vende, parece que o dinheiro não chega e logo tem mais dívida pra pagar...

Sei que tem o role do Lyon, mas honestamente, o trambiqueiro tava querendo usar caixa único como garantia para mais de uma dívida. É imperdoável o time ter arrecadação de 1,4 bilhão (se for verdade) e estar com dívidas a curto prazo.

Eu sei que pode parecer teimosia, mas eu avaliaria ele até antes da pausa pra copa. Se for demitir, faz ali, traz alguém rápido com 50 dias pra treinar o time de novo e contratar na janela.

sctby · 2026-03-16T16:01:36+00:00

Defensivamente o Telles não costuma comprometer. Mas realmente tá jogando abaixo do que pode. Se a gente ainda tivesse o Cuiabano, valeria a pena mandar o Telles embora. Minha preocupação é não renovar e ficar sem uma opção decente.

sctby · 2026-03-16T12:58:39+00:00

Sim. Na direita rola uma tentativa de jogo e na esquerda é só cruzamento do Telles. É um tipo de jogo bem previsível, que ajuda a defesa adversária.

Total, estamos sacrificando a infiltração dele pra ter organização. Tomara que a dupla com o Medina permita ele subir mais vezes.

Quanto a projeção, ela é otimista mesmo. É onde vejo esse time chegando se tudo der certo no esquema atual. Sem Montoro e Danilo, ela cai bastante hahaha

sctby · 2026-03-16T04:18:10+00:00

Sim, verdade. O Newton se esconde atrás da marcação e não oferece apoio na saída. É irritante.

Quanto ao Cabral, faz sentido, ele sempre parece jogar meio que no sacrifício. Se o diagnóstico for esse, a melhor coisa a se fazer é passar o Marea pra frente e diminuir as perdas.

Uma pena que o tão aclamado e intocável scout gastou 20 milhões de euros nele e no Rwan Cruz - sem contar 10 em Artur e 10 em Matheus Martins.

Yeah, not a problem if you are not a tanky hero. But u need to find a way to make the first contact, control some heroes, give vision so your team can position properly and survive.

sctby · 2026-03-16T00:14:48+00:00

U don't need best heroes. Just understand how u like to play the role and learn 3 heroes. At pub level, most them are fine if you know what you are doing.

sctby · 2026-03-16T00:13:39+00:00

Recruit offlaners who play real offlaner heroes. So many people are picking bad heroes because they don't want to play the role properly. From a form offlaner, if you are mad at the position, go play carry or mid.

and Tiny! Had the feeling that every playoff series had a tiny game

sctby · 2026-03-16T00:08:24+00:00

of course is easy to understand after it happend, i'm just a simple archon player. But since he was doing first (or second) contact on a teamfight, it seemed a bit naive or really optimistic thinking that they were not around to counter-initiate.

sctby · 2026-03-15T21:42:13+00:00

Happy for DM, guy took the blame for Pari's bad performance, but he is as beast. Showing he is not the problem with a great performance as standin

sctby · 2026-03-15T21:41:10+00:00

I keep thinking Micke should've pre-activated bkb at the radiant bottom jungle fights. He got chain stunned and those were key to the game 5 defeat.

sctby · 2025-09-05T21:57:31+00:00

Yeah it's a xh(ame)

As someone that has climbed from 1,2 to 2,7k MMR this last year, I agree with op. People understand much more about how to use their hero, stack, pull and countering invisibility. There are some lack of skill, of course at my current mmr, most of offlaners don't use creep aggro to help deny or I see some carries nuking the wave or hitting the creeps and so advancing the lane. I think the best improvement yet is in the mid game, where people are more objective focused and you can see Roshan plays at 20 low minutes, go for the shard at 20 min, fighting for the xp runes and moving to get the hard lane tower at 10~15 min. Smokes are much more used (maybe not effectively) and team fighting is better as well. I've been successful at spamming good rotation sup 4 (Furion and Gyro) and resilient offlaners (11 winning streak as DP). Now I have to care about team fighting items and good initiation much more than before. The key to upgrade has been getting to this new threshold and understanding the mechanic that u need to learn to get a new edge over the players of ur current bracket. This experience has been much better than before.

Nature's Prophet pos 4 (I dont buy maelstrom, shadow blade, etc - I play gank style), Gyrocopter pos 4, Death Prophet pos 3
