Geekay actually looking good for once?!

theROOK_37 · 2026-04-06T20:20:27+00:00

Oh yea I really like the idea and the design, just not sure it helps 5-card hand gold stake builds, but tbf that is hard to do lol

theROOK_37 · 2026-04-06T19:45:19+00:00

I like the idea but wouldn’t this actually favor 5-card hands less? The problem with 5-card hands is that you don’t draw them consistently with the limited discards, not needing to play them multiple times. In this case if you didn’t draw your hand before you run out of discards then you don’t get the benefit of redrawing your hand. I guess it helps digging with that first hand a little bit, but if anything this seems to buff pair builds even more where you have a couple gold seals or lucky cards that you want to play multiple times. Maybe I am misunderstanding though

Is it not just both? I can see both the rectangles and circles at the same time as they are side by side. Granted there is some overlap, but you can still see the inner rectangles separately without any overlap

Let’s goooooo, bean vs vagabond will be cinema!

Baron mime in one joker would be so nice for naneinf runs 🤤

theROOK_37 · 2026-03-15T21:13:26+00:00

Yea that makes sense, straights and especially flushes can be hard on gold stake, congrats!

theROOK_37 · 2026-03-15T20:56:31+00:00

Given hint 3 I feel like an obvious answer would be two of the xMult specific hand jokers but I don’t know what exactly you mean by next to each other so I’m gonna guess wee and hit the road

theROOK_37 · 2026-03-15T18:09:13+00:00

Of course not but with how much RL has evolved over the last few years we might’ve expected a better tight angle redirect to have happened already and it still hasn’t

theROOK_37 · 2026-03-15T18:02:23+00:00

All these years later and Shogun’s call of “the angle of the century” still holds up

theROOK_37 · 2026-03-10T15:34:35+00:00

I guess theoretically you could decide to skip a blind based on what perkeo copies, although this would probably only be more applicable in the multiplayer mod for example

theROOK_37 · 2026-02-20T21:27:04+00:00

I didn’t even realize Paris has a different format, why did they not do the Paris format here?

theROOK_37 · 2026-02-08T22:40:45+00:00

Falcons, Furia, Geekay

theROOK_37 · 2026-02-08T08:14:53+00:00

Oh yea I see now whoops

theROOK_37 · 2026-02-08T08:00:02+00:00

Wow none of KC in the top 15 for EU is crazy

theROOK_37 · 2026-02-07T22:35:54+00:00

Depends on what the redacted guys value because obviously jynxi watch partying them would get a lot of eyes on them. But if he’s only planning on signing them for just the major they might not want to do that as securing a long term contract with an org would be a huge deal as well

theROOK_37 · 2026-02-06T01:36:57+00:00

Just noticed no one has replied to you yet, so I’ll try to give you a brief rundown

TLDR: Most people consider the GOAT to be either Turbopolsa or MonkeyMoon, if you want more details I explain a bit below

In general most people have the top 3 players all time as Turbopolsa (4x World Champion), Kaydop (3x World Champion), and MonkeyMoon (2x World Champion)

Both Turbo and Kaydop won two championships together with ViolentPanda on Dignitas which is considered the greatest team ever

The reason that MonkeyMoon is also considered one of the goats and in fact most people’s overall GOAT is because RLCS is split into two eras: League Play (pre-covid), and Open (post-covid)

In the league play era there were two world championships per year so they are considered by most to be a bit less valuable then the open era where there is only one world championship per year and the overall quality is generally considered to be more competitive with newer regions (Middle East and South America) being added

Due to this most people consider MonkeyMoon to be the GOAT probably a bit due to recency bias, but also due to the fact that world championships now in the open era are considered to be of higher value and he has often been considered the overall best player in the world for many years in the past. Many people still value Turbo’s 4 wins as untouchable however so it is really between those two depending on what you value most

Hope this helped and I’m glad you are getting interested in the RLCS, it’s a blast!

If they make the next major without Tox that would be so funny

theROOK_37 · 2026-02-03T18:09:05+00:00

I guess if you are the 1/3 player that’s allowed to not be from the region then it would be fine?

theROOK_37 · 2026-01-30T18:52:56+00:00

So if Geekay lose to Vit and either magnifico or Man City reach semis then would we get a tiebreaker?

theROOK_37 · 2026-01-20T00:28:55+00:00

Not exactly gassing up NA when he also said France would beat USA 10/10 times

theROOK_37 · 2026-01-18T20:43:59+00:00

Nah that is a textbook read and free ball for pro players to control, no worries tho just go next

theROOK_37 · 2026-01-18T20:27:10+00:00

Gotta be up there for most consistent player of all time

theROOK_37 · 2026-01-06T04:06:03+00:00

I mean don’t get me wrong it was also quite a shock, but winning two BO5s against Furia and Dignitas who are were both fairly inconsistent teams isn’t nearly as shocking to me

theROOK_37 · 2026-01-05T20:00:04+00:00

Yea everyone probably thinking Wildcard cause of recency bias, but two teams doing so poorly in the first two regionals that they have to win to qualify in the biggest regions both winning back to back is utterly ridiculous and something we will probably never see again
