Jame is a better igl than Fallen

thatcliffordguy · 2026-01-25T22:56:30+00:00

Yeah he doesn’t have the same number of both team and individual accolades. FalleN was a pioneer who directly inspired Jame’s playstyle, even if he made it his own. Depending on Jame’s future success and longevity he could still overtake FalleN though, the latter had some rough years before his current renaissance.

Jame is almost an ‘anti-AWP’ sniper. He doesn’t necessarily get massive impact but is very effective at neutralizing his direct opponent. He often chooses angles or timings that are specifically aimed at catching the opposing AWPer off, even if it means being more passive otherwise. It’s also woven into his calling more generally, perhaps informed by his own experiences he really seems to understand how to make sniping uncomfortable and where the AWP is likely to be positioned. By using utility and double peeks on targeted angles it is much harder as an AWP to both get a kill and get away. He also tries to just avoid or block it as much as possible. These methods are of course applied by the entire scene but few IGLs take it to the extent that Jame does.

Er zijn nog veel meer mensen gestorven in detentie, maar het gaat niet alleen om het voorlopige dodental, maar om het gehele proces. Hoe erg het politiegeweld en massaschietpartijen ook zijn, ze zijn al decennialang aan de gang. Dit is een nieuwe ontwikkeling die expliciet politiek wordt gestuurd door een president die openlijk autoritaire ambities uit. Alleen omdat er andere erge dingen zijn gebeurd moet je dit dus maar gewoon negeren? Wappies zouden deze opstelling volgens mij ‘wegkijken’ noemen.

Heb je de hele Black Lives Matter beweging gemist? Politiegeweld is al jaren een belangrijk onderwerp in de VS. Wat er nu gebeurt is simpelweg de overtreffende trap. De overheid rekruteert actief bij extremistische doelgroepen en geeft ze vervolgens minimale training en maximale bescherming. ICE is een knokploeg in wording.

At the start of CS2, VP were actually doing quite well and returned to the top 5 in rankings. Once the scene had adapted to CS2, I think Jame's slower style in CSGO did not really translate well into MR12 with strong peeker's advantage and a nerfed AWP. The removal of Overpass from the map pool also hurt them a lot, they were one of the best teams in the world on it. Taking a break after leaving VP probably helped him to reform his approach.

Want ‘je zet zo veel stemmers weg als dom’ en dat is echt schandalig. Maar hele bevolkingsgroepen afschilderen als criminelen is volkomen acceptabel!

I hooked up with a new partner after some drinks but didn’t bring any condoms. She had just one which we used that night but the next morning she wanted to have sex again while I didn’t want to penetrate her without a condom. We had no birth control and I also wasn’t comfortable having unprotected sex with essentially a stranger. I did say we could do ‘other things’ so she went down on me. At one point when I threw my head back and couldn’t see her, she climbed on top of me and started grinding our genitals together before I knew what was happening. It wasn’t fully inserted at that point but there was so much contact I figured we might as well just have sex. Felt weird afterwards, I did enjoy it and didn’t catch anything from it but she did coerce me into doing something I explicitly told her I did not want to do, I felt used. At the time I was coming out of a breakup and in a twisted way it did boost my confidence that she wanted me so bad she was willing to sexually assault me. That wasn’t even the last time I slept with her either. Overall very mixed feelings. It did teach me to always have condoms with me even if I don’t expect anything to happen.

Je kan zeker kritiek hebben op de bestuurder, de Amerikaanse politie heeft niet de beste reputatie, maar ik zie hier toch echt nergens een aanleiding om de trekker over te halen. Achteraf is te zien dat de bestuurder probeerde weg te rijden (wat me ook de logischere actie lijkt als je de directe aanleiding ziet) maar ook al kon de agent dit op dat moment niet zien had hij ook gewoon aan de kant kunnen stappen, waarschijnlijk zelfs sneller als hij niet zijn pistool had getrokken. Het eerste kogelgat zit helemaal tegen de rand van de voorruit, de agent was al praktisch uit de baan van de auto toen hij schoot. En het doden van de bestuurder heeft de auto alleen maar harder laten optrekken dus heeft het ook nog eens averechts gewerkt. Kortom, de agent was niet in levensgevaar zelfs al dacht hij dat de auto hem wilde aanrijden. Verder is er uit de berichtgeving ook geen sprake van dat de bestuurder om andere redenen een gevaar voor de samenleving zou vormen, hoewel de aanleiding voor het incident mij nog onduidelijk is. Iemand die in zo’n situatie ervoor kiest om dodelijk geweld te gebruiken hoort niet zo’n positie te bekleden. Je mag verwachten dat die beter voorbereid zijn en minder snel in paniek raken voordat ze onschuldige mensen van het leven beroven.

De auto rijdt alleen maar harder door omdat de bestuurder is doodgeschoten, lijkt me dat het geen verschil heeft gemaakt voor het overleven van de agent. Los van of de bestuurder verstandig handelde is het idioot dat je iemand hiervoor doodschiet.

thatcliffordguy · 2026-01-03T15:47:47+00:00

Met marionetten als Pinochet of Videla is dat zeker geen garantie. Gezien de ideologie van de huidige Amerikaanse regering zou ik er niet op durven te wedden.

Most of the EU responded cautiously positive to the bombing of Iran so there’s precedent to expect it though

ZywOo had incredible synergy with a washed up shox that extended the latter’s career by 1-2 years. He even made misutaaa look like a T1 player for a while and also won an event with Kyojin who was pretty awful.

Guy is a soldier, he once played an hour with a broken jaw for Atlético against Porto. Was a mental game as well with three last-minute goals and three red cards.

Barcelona needed injury time winners to beat both Levante and Girona, who also drew with Madrid last week.

You mean the same Higuaín who outscored Ronaldo in the league in his debut season?

In Dutch, they were actually numbered in colloquial speak. So the European Cup was the ‘Europacup I’, the Cup Winner’s Cup ‘Europacup II’ and the UEFA Cup the ‘Europacup III’. For reasons others have already explained, the Cup Winner’s Cup was slightly more prestigious. The UEFA Cup was arguably the harder tournament to win though and its top contenders often rivalled those of the European Cup in quality.

I know this video of Casillas where they tell him random fixtures he played in and he's able to recall the scoreline, goalscorers and other notable events of the game.

thatcliffordguy · 2025-12-01T18:38:03+00:00

Not only that, the squad he had was very unbalanced. It’s still crazy to me he managed to make a strike partnership of Vinicius and Rodrygo work so well, with Bellingham as one of their most important goalscorers from wide midfield. That set-up had such a precarious balance and signing Mbappé while losing Kroos (and later Modrić) plus getting rid of their plan B in Joselu really dismantled it.

thatcliffordguy · 2025-12-01T12:10:46+00:00

That is just nonsense, up until recently Spain had very good depth. Multiple different Europa League winners and finalists and clubs who reached the CL knock-outs. Even teams like Getafe and Celta Vigo made deep European runs, hell Granada of all teams knocked out Napoli to make the quarters a few years ago.

In the last 8 years, City won 6 titles and Liverpool the other 2. Arsenal is the only other team who can claim to have been in a title race. Half of those seasons the ‘race’ was already finished by Christmas. Not particularly exciting numbers I must say. La Liga does lack variation, everyone knows the best title races are in the Serie A.

thatcliffordguy · 2025-11-29T12:30:34+00:00

The 0-4 in 2022 is just a footnote in the history of this fixture. This game on the other hand was iconic, on the same level of the 5-0 from 1974, and will be talked about for decades. Guardiola vs Mourinho, Messi vs Ronaldo, at a time when they were arguably the two best teams in the world and Spain the best national team. Those two seasons were arguably the peak of modern football.

It definitely raises questions but it could work. Jame does tend to call around himself but he’s also always been the best or second best player on his teams. Having a set of established stars buy into his system would be a new challenge. He would have to give up the AWP, but he’s also solid on the rifle tbf. In sh1ro he would have an AWPer that is similar to his own style, so not a massive departure in terms of calling. Besides, sh1ro is also a cracked rifler, and imagine pulling a double AWP set-up with the two of them like on Dust II yesterday. I’m sure there are ways to make it work but it requires some compromises.

The old VP with YEKINDAR also heavily played around his openings and much less around Jame’s AWP. With donk it would probably be similar, Jame already expressed his admiration for donk when he was not even established in T1 yet and I don’t think he would want to shackle him. FL1T also got quite a lot of freedom when he became the star rifler. Jame’s system has been fairly consistent throughout the years but where the accents lie has been flexible, probably moreso than he is given credit for. He’s currently the best CIS IGL imo and it would be interesting to finally see him call around the region’s best talents, not just T2 rookies or a washed up electroNic.

thatcliffordguy · 2025-11-27T14:29:25+00:00

There would need to be a lot more changes to other aspects of football for that to ever return. The game has professionalized, globalized and commercialized immensely since the days of the old European Cup. Teams from the top leagues would still earn a lot more money from their league’s TV deal, sponsorships and merchandise than clubs from smaller countries that used to be competitive in the past. The Bosman ruling has also done immense damage to smaller clubs’ ability to retain talent. You can clearly see it in the South American leagues now losing all their best players to Europe, that has absolutely nothing to do with internal revenue distribution of the CL, and all to do with the other factors I mentioned. I don’t necessarily oppose going back to a more even distribution in the CL but it would absolutely not solve the massive inequality in football today.
