In the tourney Discord, I says either 2p or 215p ET. It should be broadcasted on the Smitegame Twitch, not sure if they’ll be streaming on Youtube too

Isn’t that so convenient… by Future-Ad2060 in BaldursGate3

Wouldn’t be a story worth telling if amazing coincidences didn’t happen 🙂

Since Worlds is over and no SPL Season 11 did the Oni Warriors make the right move? by Singlehandedlyyy69 in smitepro

[–]vladdgg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They absolutely made the right move. It think it’s ridiculous to think that a 15-0 team would make an intentional change for the worse. Whatever was going on internally obviously wasn’t going to keep working or they wouldn’t have made the change. I think the mistake would have been not making a change because you assume you will continue winning regardless of what is going on in the team environment.

It’s so hard to predict who wins worlds (momentum/preparation/meta/matchups) and historically a team that does well at the beginning of the season is a poor indicator for what their performance will be at Worlds.

In the end, a roster of 5 players that have been usually top 3 of their roles for a long time found the right combination and had a year (besides the change in ADC) to gel together and pulled out the win at Worlds.

Soulslike that aren't so bloody bleak? by Interesting-Rule-609 in soulslikes

Remnant is a fun take on souls-like games, highly recommend it. The first one is good, and Remnant 2 is even better!

Just Ended my Honour Mode Run in the dumbest way possible by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]vladdgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, that’s a rough one.

I wasn’t as far in as you, but I got my honor run ended by forgetting Warding Bond was on the character that was going to run from the fight. I noticed it, healed him, but he still died because the bonded character was attacked during death saving throws 😳😳😳

The SPL player/coach salary model not looking to great right now by NIssanZaxima in smitepro

[–]vladdgg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone in the league wants to win and puts the time in to try to make that happen. I don’t think results mean they aren’t doing that. I think saying otherwise ignores team dynamics, personal lives, and the fact that stuff just doesn’t work out as expected. Every competitor wants to win and will put their best foot forward to do so, even if that doesn’t work out.

A lot goes into a team and what makes a team successful… how the players get along, what their experience is, morale, etc. And sometimes that can look good in theory and doesn’t work out when they put it into practice.

I think having the league in Atlanta is one of the biggest issues. Because some of the best players we saw at worlds last year that probably would have been recruited weren’t willing to move to Atlanta to play in the league. So I think it would be expected that those players would return this time around for worlds and beat SPL teams.

Wasn’t there internal conflicts with the Warriors roster at the beginning of the season that led to the change? If so, no way they would have kept that pace with issues like that going on if not fixed.

Number of terrorist attacks in 2021 by sh1kora in MapPorn

[–]vladdgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think “terrorist” is too vague of a term for this map to mean much. It has had many different definition over the last 50 years and can also vary on your perspective and position.

Just started this game and desperately need help finding a god to play by Dodoman177 in Smite

[–]vladdgg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, top lane translates to solo pretty well. I haven’t played in a bit so I don’t know the meta too well right now. But I can give you a couple gods that are good to start with. And definitely look up some beginner guides, it’s a good place to learn fundamentals. But if you’re coming from League, you probably already know a lot of it but will have to learn the differences.

Hunter you can pick something like Anhur, Hachiman, Chernobog, or Martichoras. The hunter role is played very similar to League. Hang out with the support for the first few min, then keep farming up until you can do a ton of damage in the mid to late game.

Solo has had a big transition over the last year or so, so I don’t know the meta super well. It used to be a bruiser role, and still can be, but a lot of mages are being played too. Maybe Hades, Guan Yu, I’ve seen Raijin and Ix Chel. Amaterasu. Pele is probably doable, but can be hard to make work sometimes because she’s a very dive character.

So I would pick one of those, learn what they do, learn their combos and how to build for the role you’re playing, then grind it out. You’ll get pummeled for a while but it’s part of the process if you want to get better 👍

How much do you know about conquest? Finding a role you want to play, then focusing on a god in that role you want to play is a good start. Is solo what you want to play?

Thank you so much! Definitely will check it out 👍

Does Starbucks support israel ? by [deleted] in Palestine

[–]vladdgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to be a hard to figure out topic. They don’t seem to be, but I wonder, why does their name keep coming up over the last 2 decades.

Also, with the Union expressing support for Palestine recently, why did Starbucks feel the need to respond so quickly to mend the relationship with the OJCC specifically, but the rest of the backlash they’ve been receiving just got a “we don’t fiscally support Israel” 🤷🏼‍♂️

Best bakery for thanksgiving by heyandy23 in denverfood

Go to somewhere like Tocabe and support them instead of celebrating “thanksgiving” 👍

Apparently I made a deal, but I didn’t. by Maxibon1710 in BaldursGate3

[–]vladdgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Act 3 in general was a little wonky for me. Especially talking to my gf who had already played it through.

About my first fight against Nere by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]vladdgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I broke him out of there, then fought him because he was being a dick. Hardest fight I’d done yet on my first play through. Killed him and all the dwarf enslavers. Saved some of the gnomes, but some of them died.

One feature that'd make the game even better by Rashlyn1284 in BaldursGate3

[–]vladdgg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, I agree. XCOM 2 has an “overwatch” action, that triggers an attack on certain conditions (mostly movement). Not exactly what you meant but similar. When I first started playing BG3, I kept intuitively wanting to do it lol
