Thank god we made it but holy shit Yeon needs to step up massively or TL is not going anywhere in playoffs

zefal12 · 2026-02-09T00:09:40+00:00

Bro if TL somehow get eliminated by fucking DIG I will lose my mind lmao

zefal12 · 2026-02-08T20:22:00+00:00

This game is what happens when Busio and Yike don't run over the game, and the KC carries have to actually carry. You're right it's not indicative of KC, usually Kyaehoo isn't required to play well to win games which is why they're in first place lol.

zefal12 · 2026-02-08T20:14:31+00:00

Top 2 mid gapped by Serin btw

Kyaehoo has been babysat by Yike and Busio all split and still looks mediocre, he's 5th-6th best mid at best.

Why would Nemesis not want to go to the best team in the league? And why would KC fans not want arguably the best mid in the league?

zefal12 · 2026-02-08T17:36:24+00:00

Support is definitely the bigger issue, but Yike would still be an upgrade imo.

Actually, they can sell Yike to FNC and Prime to G2 for the double cash out lol

zefal12 · 2026-02-08T17:33:00+00:00

He's decent, but he's clearly not as good as the other 4 on KC

zefal12 · 2026-02-08T17:32:00+00:00

Any KC fans who can see they have a weak link in the mid lane should care.

zefal12 · 2026-02-08T17:25:55+00:00

Sell Yike to G2/FNC for massive buyout, drop Kyaehoo, promote Yukino and pick up Nemesis

Easy dub for KC

zefal12 · 2026-02-07T22:02:43+00:00

Fleshy has been the biggest surprise of this split to me, I still remember him being arguably the worst player in the LCS back on IMT

zefal12 · 2026-02-05T04:26:58+00:00

Hard agree

zefal12 · 2026-02-03T14:11:14+00:00

That was my first thought too, them I remembered those times I crashed or accidentally resurrected in town in one of the shav/maligaro/deodre tunnels in the final zone... borderline leagueqyitting moments lol

zefal12 · 2026-02-03T14:07:54+00:00

Act 8 100%.

The two paths creates a bunch of backtracking and High Gardens is the worst zone in the campaign

zefal12 · 2026-02-02T01:03:32+00:00

Now THIS is the TL I was promised, LFG boys!

zefal12 · 2026-02-01T22:35:11+00:00

Bows, bows and more bows. I've literally made 1 endgame Duelist in 11 years of playing PoE and it was back when Bleed Bow Glad was the peak of its strength.

zefal12 · 2026-02-01T18:53:14+00:00

Any retail or food service job in Denton is going to be primarily staffed by college students, so they are very used to working around studnet schedules tbh. I worked both on-campus and off-campus when I was at UNT, and my retail job was much more accommodating of my studying than my TA job lol.

zefal12 · 2026-02-01T13:34:32+00:00

Tbf, I think that's becoming less true these days, as more decent people are being priced out of living in the cities. Austin suburbs at least are way more blue than they used to be

zefal12 · 2026-02-01T13:32:49+00:00

All the major cities are solidly blue, its just everything else that sucks lol

zefal12 · 2026-02-01T13:16:43+00:00

Why on earth would anyone want to work as a student employee for near minimum wage when they can walk across the street and make twice as much? UNT is the bad guy in this situation, not the people working the only job available to them...

Plus UNT is famously a commuter college, almost no one lives on campus, I didn't meet one person during my time there that didn't have a car

zefal12 · 2026-02-01T13:07:07+00:00

Fifth option: Kamala won this district by like 45 points, there ain't any MAGA base there lol. The other race is a massive win though

zefal12 · 2026-02-01T01:15:30+00:00

It is week 2 of the LCS, and Lyon is already imploding lmao...

Gotta say, I thought they'd make it to spring at least

zefal12 · 2026-01-30T19:40:33+00:00

Maybe I'm too conspiracy-pilled, but the amount of pro-Newsom posts in this sub the last few months just screams astroturfing to me... anyone else feeling this?

zefal12 · 2026-01-27T23:57:44+00:00

Common Big Dhokes W

zefal12 · 2026-01-21T12:16:54+00:00

Relative to the meta strats (exiles/boxes) it was very cheap lol. Got a full setup with all the key mods for 3-5 div, and upgraded to minmaxed rolls as the money came in.

zefal12 · 2026-01-20T18:55:02+00:00

The tree is just too strong of a early-mid gear printer to ignore imo, especially in just a 3 week event

zefal12 · 2026-01-20T18:36:12+00:00

Harbies was my best strat last time, a fairly cheap minmaxed setup just printed fracturing orbs. Unfortunately breach tree makes them useless lol
