Don’t know the guy, but maybe this needs to be on timelines more often.
Share the happiness and positive progression of life instead of promoting pseudo-scientific analysis of relationship dynamics through the eyes of scorned individuals.
Love is out there.
No one asked but; these are most of the books that really imprinted on me over time:
Camus’ The Fall
Jung’s Red Book, Aion, Answer to Job, Synchronicity
Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment
Kierkegaard’s The Sickness unto Death
Kafka’s The Trial, The Castle
Revelational.
First book to truly make me understand (not just think) that everyone is deserving of love, and that past actions don’t need to be definitive for every bit of the future outlook.
And that guilt truly is all-consumptive, yet atonement is within reach.
Competitive integrity and all. Not that people didn’t know (the entire scene did), but shit like that gets swept under the rug in the sea of narratives.
Also the butterfly effect of that is crazy, I spiraled mentally and physically at the end of 2016 because of this.
@JoeyYoungbuck Weak. You don’t nip it in the bud you end up with the Skype Group culture, and open the floor for more Machiavellian types that we saw later.
Honorless wins.
You couldn’t have had these confrontational engagements be leaked to the public, nor could we have had literal middle fingers be aimed at teammates, regardless of the underlying relationships.
“It” would have so quickly hit the fan, we’d have had apology videos galore.
Fascinating to see the evolution of the League community in regards to openly brash and uncompromising leadership.
This used to be common place until we nixed it sometime in the early 2020s.
Wonder what will happen to Inspired’s reputation should he stop performing at his level
As dumb as it is, there’s a penalty for overshooting - and it’s once you’re entering the unknown but leave the zone of proximal development. You might still get it right sometimes (especially in more known environments), but downfall becomes imminent in the unfamiliar (Worlds).
G2 seems to have too little upward talent/creativity to bypass the usual game rhythms, but also too little downward stability to continuously control game rhythm themselves.
In other words: They’re skipping steps hoping to reach their Mount Everest, but are without a base camp.
@Cubbyxx NA never had it like that. That’s the sadder part, it was mostly team by team (albeit TSM grew hella close).
EU was truly unique that we all went to the same bars. And we all went together every time, barring outliers.
Even though I was one of the later arrivals:
One of the things that combined most of us back in the days as players, was our shared sense of camaraderie, even across teams.
We might have hated one another on the rift, but when the day was over we all ended up drinking together.
We were all just kids back then, and to see any one of us not being able to move onto the next stages of life and getting to experience them in their fullness is just heartbreaking. The sacrifices made will never be truly voiced, and they can never be truly explained.
And that forms different relationships altogether.
We were somewhat dependent on one another for support, most of us navigating our first relationships, our first time away from home, and the first time that we really had to prove ourselves without necessarily having security.
Soaz & Peke always talked so highly of him that I was almost jealous, but I got to experience a lot of the why. And no words really come close.
So pure hearted, never second guessed sacrificing for his friends, and always had a joke to lift the mood.
Rest in peace, Cyamigo.
Lauri "Cyanide" Happonen 🇫🇮, a legendary figure in Lol esports, has passed away at 31, announces Finnish outlet Ilta-Sanomat.
He remains the youngest World Champion in history, having won Worlds 2011 with Fnatic at just 16 years old.
Inspired overforced so badly multiple times this game, to the point that I wonder if this was a complete disagreement about the draft and win capabilities. He played as if it was lost unless they get 5k ahead by 20 mins
