It's generally taboo in western countries. Not illegal bad, but very looked down upon (for young people. Adults with a 3-4 year age gap is perfectly normal)

Accounts that were reported for rank manipulation repeatedly were forced into 2FA, or else they couldn't access ranked (nor premier, I think)

I don't have an account either, idk why you couldn't access it
Is it a direct benefit or detriment to anyone if you specifically decide to watch something?
I understand wanting to boycott something because of morals/ideals but you deciding to watch a basketball tournament will never have consequences on the Sudanese civil war, for instance. Same thing with EWC... whether or not you choose to watch it, you have to acknowledge that you can't change the sponsors, nor the broadcasting deals, nor any of the background information behind the tournament, and that once you accept all of this, all it really is is a midseason tournament.
If you don't want to watch, feel free. If you want to watch but you feel bad about it, feel free to donate to a charity or cause or anything that would help fight against whatever you believe these governments are doing, doing which would have infinitely more impact than choosing not to add a single viewer to these tournaments
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't NRG lose that round anyway?
True. Even you're more tolerable than this guy
Nice flair. Hopefully they find success in the coming years!
I obviously don't speak for everyone but when I write long threads, I personally do it for those who want to read it, not those who want to reply. And those are generally two different groups of people
I've been wanting to see his Raze for a while, it's so good
They have subtitles for the teams comming in English (the subtitles are in português)
Genuinely smiled reading this, man. Nostalgia's such a mood :)
Good luck in your next chapter
I was in a similar place not too long ago. It's a rough place to be, especially when you're aware of it but don't know how to get out
It's late where you are... you need to sleep. Here's what I would do if I were in your shoes:
Look at what you need to do. Know what tasks you need to complete... acknowledge what you need to do. Then go to bed... you need rest, and you're not going to be able to work well without it. Wake up in the morning, get out of bed early... even if you don't feel well rested, trust me when I say you won't feel any more rested if you stay in bed longer. Go out, take a walk... you live in a beautiful country, and you need to be outside. You have to reset yourself mentally and this is the way that's worked best for me. Come back home, eat something, and then you're ready to do some work :)
Trust me when I say you still have time to get through whatever you need to get through. No one thing is going to work for everyone but I want you do things that you know will help yourself reset mentally and get back where you need to be 👍
If you got champs points for swiss stage wins, wouldn't that disincentivize teams to try to win a split? Because then they wouldn't play the swiss stage and would therefore miss out on points?
Take Kickoff, for example... why would I try to win Kickoff and get a +4 with a bye, when I can qualify as second seed and get +3, plus an additional +2 from the swiss stage?
Pretty much the only person from Honduras who posts in these forums relatively actively
Edit: his flag is North Macedonia now so either he was fake flagging or he's doing a bit
No idea, I wasn't watching I just know it happened
Honestly, I wouldn't mind that at all. I feel like the biggest argument against it would be "but they might play a Bo5 three days in a row" but that precedent's already been set with Kickoff this year so I don't see why not
There's no stream for these games unfortunately. I know some orgs have been doing costreams (e.g. Karmine Corp), so you could check if any of these teams are doing one
Depends on whether you count ENVY (post-franchising) or 2Game... but of the franchised teams during the franchising era, Cloud9 are indeed the only team to not make an international

He has more Cypher games than Yoru games genuinely what are we talking about
Can you give an example other than Vitality?
Also everyone else in this thread is genuinely irritating
Well said. Yeah, the general sentiment is really annoying... if you qualified over all these teams that "should" make it, then don't you deserve to make it?
Bro I forgot about that thread 💀
I'm 90% sure you didn't even watch the interview
It's been 25 minutes since your last post
There's no Bind, that's for sure
100T probably pick either Haven or Breeze, G2 likely go Split (I am basing this purely off the number of times they've played the map this split)
"Best in tier 2 deserves tier 2" with an Ascension team flair is crazy work
Because he's consistently been one of the best duelists in tier 2 NA for the past couple years
Nah the tiebreaker is head-to-head
Nope. The tiebreaker is head-to-head
he is a dickhead
We're just saying anything online
This is why nobody wanted you in the server my guy
