@CinderMalheur@ittothinker Playing through the story is different from just watching it though. Also the gacha, spiral abyss, imaginarium theatre can't be experience from YouTube. (Mostly for the gacha addiction)
@CinderMalheur@ittothinker I play the game for story quest and Archon quest. Paying pilot to do exploration give me more primos per dollar, which i have been cashing for gacha and never done exploration since liyue. So it made perfect sense for me why not.
Im all in for VAR intervening smaller decisions if they make it right. But that has to be for all decisions. Right now this mistaken identity thing makes it such that VAR can pick what they want to intervene, and thats probably what most people are upset about.
The problem with the new ‘mistaken identity’ rule is that it sets a dangerous precedent.
Breel Embolo dived, so if called on the field it’s a second yellow, but that wasn’t the decision.
Yet an amendment to IFAB wording before the tournament states: “When the referee shows a yellow or red card but has clearly penalised the wrong player of either team for the offence in question; the offence itself cannot be reviewed except in the context of mistaken identity.”
We saw the same with Tim Ream (originally booked for a foul) and Miguel Almiron (eventually booked for diving) in USA vs. Paraguay.
In both instances, the right decision was reached when revisiting the incidents.
Yet it’s massively open for debate as to whether this is actually ‘mistaken identity’, and that’s the issue.
It’s just a mistake by the referees. Both got sold by a dive. They didn’t mix up players. They just made a bad call on a regular foul and wrongly handed out a yellow card.
So really it’s just a rule allowing VAR to intervene on more minor on-field calls, and that’s the part a lot of people will feel uneasy about.
Perhaps the video that best explains the World Cup. A Japanese fan is inconsolable after their 2-1 loss to Brazil in extra time.
Brazil fans console him and Mexican fans toss him into the air.
The World Cup 2026.❤️⚽️
You learn the rules .
Passive offside isn’t really an official term in the current Laws of the Game—it’s older terminology that people still use informally. Here’s the actual concept it refers to.
Being in an offside position is not an offence by itself. A player only commits an offside offence when they become involved in active play. So an attacker can be standing in an offside position, and as long as they don’t interfere with play, they’re effectively “passive”—the referee lets play continue.
A player in an offside position is only penalised if they:
•Interfere with play — touching or playing a ball passed to them by a teammate.
•Interfere with an opponent — blocking the line of vision, challenging for the ball, or clearly making a movement that affects an opponent’s ability to play it.
•Gain an advantage — playing a ball that rebounds off the post, crossbar, an opponent, or comes from a deliberate save.
So when commentators say “he was in a passive offside position,” they mean the player was offside but didn’t get involved, so no offence occurred and play continued.
One nuance worth knowing: if a player in an offside position simply receives the ball from an opponent’s deliberate play (not a deflection or save), they’re not penalised. That’s a common source of confusion.
Want me to walk through a specific scenario, or explain how the offside line is judged at the moment the ball is played?
@robmooreEsports I dont have CS numbers, but was watching valo masters on douyin stream where they display total views. Edg vs Lev hit around 5.5mil views and PRX vs Lev hit around 4mil. Attached is a screenshot I took nearing the end where it shows 5mil total views.
