Really happy for AKM, but I'm not so sure this is the best option for both him and Dallas... oh well time will tell.

Wait, did they just said AKM signed for Dallas?

Gonna be a nice cheer, I fear Gladiators and Outlaws might take it but I cheer for both! 3-2 HOU 3-2 LAG!

rofl

Now wonder how Dallas would look without Effect...

And yet they are not getting 4-0 anymore, that's improvement, all of them, the DPS were already good in the first matches, but DPS alone don't win matches at this level (check what almost happened to SDB and Carpe) what improved was the rest of the team.

Damn the Fusion are the team I root for, but not today, the Dragons almost had it!
They are getting better and better soon the first win!

Hotba and Dayfly at the same time too hard to carry?
"Hotba is more of a defensive/peeling DVA" and it shows, Fragi as usual charges forward like a madman, only now he's alone and dies, a lot.

GJ so far Dragons!!!

Sideshow hitting the spot, the reason NYX lost to Philly and not Seoul, is that SDB and Carpe (+ tanks) were always diving hard, mainly on Jjonak.

Wow gj NYX!

I'm always happy to miss my predictions. :)

Yep, map was basically 2 fights and a half and he died first both times.

Btw Scrubasaurus, nice title. ;)

I hope so, thou I've watched couple of his streams as of late, and it seemed like he was sort of focusing on the study for now, but I might be completely wrong on this, was just an impression.

Before yesterday I was inclined to give more chances to NYX, but being things as they are, even taking into consideration the "they prepared specifically for this match" argument I agree with most, this is Seoul's game to win (or lose), 3-1?

But it's going to be a great one to watch for sure

Well things are looking good for OWL!

It's called reading comprehension, go back read my first post, I never implied they weren't both punished, I was speaking of double standards (XQC 2k + suspension, Profit 1k)

To make it clear, there are different levels to look at this whole stuff:

1. the severity of the offense per se, out of every context.
2. Is the environment in which the 2 offenses were made, which is Blizzard's sandbox.

In case one we can discuss for months of what's worse, being me gay I'd tend to say I find more offensive XQC's one, even thou it wasn't directed at me personally.
And I'd tend to agree that the moment both guys admit they did something wrong (like they both did) it should be over.

In case two there's no real difference, Blizzard with the fines is not trying to protect you or me (or any one), but the image of their competitive game, from this point of view the 2 different fines make no sense, hence my original post of double-standards.

That said I'm not on here trying to find fights (and for sure not looking to be insulted), so this is my last post on the argument, have fun.

gg Squids

Jigsaw looking good

And insulting me for expressing my point of view, whatever mate, you are right of course how couldn't you, right?

What's funny about this is that you are all hell bent on stigmatize XQC (and he deserved) and yet you go personal on a forum where ppl just share their opinion, thanks for the 2nd insult in row mate.

I know what both guys did, and knowing that I still repeat that both deserved to be punished.

Is not about being slow or not, but thanks anyway mate.

Have to admit, I was one of the skepticals on OWL, but so far, has been a blast to watch.
(this time zone thou... not good for my "beuaty sleep")

It's called mistakes, the point is Koreans always commit very very few mistakes (compared to western players/teams), but sooner or later everyone commits mistakes, today happened to London and NYX.

This doesn't mean they aren't 2 of the top 3 teams, but just that they aren't unbeatable as some ppl think.

Holy damn... great game, and gg Fusion!

Erm he actually looked into the cam before doing it, if you want to do show the middle to your coach, you do it in the waiting room, but these are details.

The point is am I offended by Profit's middle finger? Nope it wasn't direct at me (pretty sure about that hehe), but still he shouldn't have done it.
Am I offended by XQC's neaderthalian behaviour? Nope 'cause it wasn't direct at me, but still he shouldn't have done it.

Rules are rules, offenses are offenses, and fines/penalties are to be given.

Well me even worse considering I gave it to London and we were mid-game :D

They just did, one map is won, now if they could win another one...

There's something I don't like much about some of these casters (in this case Mr X, but Monte ain't better), one thing is aknowledging one team is stronger than the other, another is "siding" for the stronger team.

You are casters not fans, at least while you are on screen.

Totally agree with you mate, at least he got fined.

Never like double-standards, and these clearly are, if anything (from a league point of view) this is even worse, XQC was on his channel, Profit live with over 200k people watching.

And so the Koreans start losing, great match Boston!

You got my upfrag mate, that was a spot on prediction ;)

Nope, guess they'll eventually win, but is going to be a 3-2

Stil don't know why everyone rated Boston so low, now it's 1-1, gj Boston so far :)

Why should his skills have anything to do with his gesture?

I don't think a middle finger is the end of the world, but being him the best player in the world or the worst the reaction to it should be the same.

I think they can and possibly even 2, but still believe NYX will win the match no matter what.

Nice match, gg both

"In scrims we are trying Unkoe on Mercy and Kariv on Zen, and it works"
Kariv isn't making plays, something that Unkoe always does on Zen... meh

EDIT for the downfraggers. :)

The reasons behind this post are:

1. Unkoe is one of the best Zen (and not just in the west), and also one of the reasons Soon works so well on Tracer
2. The 2 French guys tend to be very moody, have you noticed the expression on Unkoe's face, ok he's never been a smiling one, but still
3. Post-game interview the what does Soon decide to point out?

That was close, gj Dragons, show the Koreans they can't troll win easy matches :P

Damn couple of days away from my PC and have loads of juicy stuff to recover!

Nice job man will check them for sure.

Amazing updates as usual poi!

Damn there it is the info I completely missed!

Thanks mate, still doesn't make much sense, but eh at least there is a reason.

Amazing job mate!

Great recap Scrubasaurus!

And damn Kuroi amazing post! The only positions I don't agree with you on are Dallas and Boston, I think Dallas will be more in the "contenders" lot and Boston could take their place in the "Playoff" lot, but is just my very personal idea.

Quick question, is there a specific reason why some maps have never been in the pool?
Like Hanamura, Route 66, King's road...

I mean one would think that at least during 2-3 weeks they would play on all maps, instead I keep watching matches on Junkertown, Anubis, Lunar Colony, but I might have very likely missed some information.

Sometimes is easy to forget (speaking for myself) the kind of impact he was able to have already when he first joined Reunited.

Also 2 of Those Guys dropped at the same time, new patch hitting and server going crazy...

Lol nice one Scrubasaurus. :)

Where is our lord of the :candle:?!?
Meza come back to us, our candles aren't as good as yours! :)

On a side note, let's see what comes out of the Pacific region, doens't look good atm. :/

Should be a nice match (please Twitch let me see it!!!), I too believe Those Guys should take it, looks like the eagles still need to hatch.

Good for them, but I honestly don't know if I like all this "selling" of slots, why not leaving them empty and make the teams fight for them?

Oh well gl to Element Mystic anyway!
