That Deadlock caster at this CS event isn't that bad. If he put some time into CS I could see him being good one day.

[Thorin @Thorin]

The most boring thing about plebs is how convinced they are that they are right about literally everything despite being, by definition, the least informed people in the whole space.

[Thorin @Thorin]

If you wanna say Faker is the G.O.A.T player then it's about his 2010s titles.

If you want to say Faker is the G.O.A.T leader then it's about his 2020s titles.

Those are two totally different discussions with different criteria.

[Thorin @Thorin]

In the context of a G.O.A.T debate Faker did NOT "win three Worlds in Chovy's prime". That is a really embarrassing argument which makes you sound like you have zero eye test.

In a G.O.A.T debate it is about what you accomplished as the best player on your team since it's a debate of who the greatest player is not who has the greatest resume.

If Chovy becomes the 3rd or 4th best player on his team in 3 years and then wins 7 Worlds I won't say that makes him the G.O.A.T.

If you aren't willing to even learn the argument you're just a boring pleb increasing the signal noise in discussions while thinking you're saying something meaningful.

Is Chris Bosh better than Kevin Garnett cos he "won two rings" and KG won one? Ofc he isn't. Grow up!

[Thorin @Thorin]

G2 with the "win one to give the fans false hope" CLG LoL classic

Mouse2 being +forward is from old school Doom

[CS2 NEWS @CS2News_EN]

The whole family of @kingmezii plays with his Quake config 🤯

“If my child plays CS in the future, it’ll only be with my config. My father and all my brothers play with it, so my children will have to accept these conditions too,” he told us when we spoke to him 🫢

🚨 NEW: Thorin explains why LEC teams did NOT ❌ complain publicly about Los Ratones participating in LEC Versus:

"A lot of the teams just thought, well, there's no upside to complain in public, and we've done it privately. They're not going to change their mind, so we may as well just go along with it and pretend, like, yay, Los Ratones!"

(via Thorin's Thoughts)

[fede @shutupfede]

@goldenmuse_moon it started in 2022 and has been an ongoing discussion, if faker wanted to do something about it maybe he shouldn't have let chovy be the better player in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. or maybe he could have won more than 1 of the 6 finals he has played chovy in.

[btrams @smartbackwards]

congratulations to zont1x on becoming possibly the first player to ever go 0-11 in the first 10 rounds of a map

[Thorin @Thorin]

Remember when this team winning a couple of trophies had plebs convinced you couldn't criticise it and suggest a roster move was needed?

[NarT @NartOutHere]

🚨 Spirit just got 13-0'd on their OWN map pick by FUT, who are playing with their coach as a stand-in

What is happening?! 😭

[Ed Latimore @EdLatimore]

The most frustrating thing about stupid people is that you can't explain to them why they're wrong.

Not only can they not understand you–because they're stupid–but they think *you're* stupid one...

Because they can't understand you.

And they're so sure of themselves they come out the gate being rude.

[Thorin @Thorin]

Once you realise this about esports 99.99% of online discussions become a waste of time.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨 Frenkie De Jong: “People don’t really watch the games. Very few people watch the full 90 minutes”.

“They don’t really understand what’s happening on the pitch or why certain decisions are made. The easiest way to judge a player is, of course, to look at whether he scores goals or provides assists”.

“And naturally, those numbers are much lower for me”, told ESPN NL.

[Devon Eriksen @Devon_Eriksen_]

@UsingLyft Any sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice.

[Thorin @Thorin]

When Chovy doesn't win it's T1 fans being shitty in the comments.

When Faker doesn't win it's T1 fans being shitty about his team-mate in the comments.

T1 fans are shitty.

[Thorin @Thorin]

Observe the way players dip in form when Vitality isn't number one it will give you key clues as to why the team is so good at its peak.

Secret of the best teams ever is skillsets and personalities that overlap with one's strength covering another's weakness.

[btrams @smartbackwards]

falcons are the worst tier 1 team in close games again

they are now 5-11 in maps where both teams had at least 10 rounds in the last 3 months after this vitality series

[btrams @smartbackwards]

falcons are now 5-5 with m0NESY dropping 24 frags in regulation this year

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

Kobe was right when he said:

“It's not the number of hours you practice, it's about the number of hours your mind is present during the practice.”

[Thorin @Thorin]

The mistake is thinking the imagination not being physical means it's not real.

[Thorin @Thorin]

Shitters in esports talk about how toxic the space is and the need to purge extremism online and then turn on a Hasan video.
