@StoicGamingLive @MoistEsports Redeye was THE definitive host for live esports events pre-Covid, & it was not close. He was part of a huge exposure of bad behavior (to put it mildly) of personalities in Valve games in Summer 2020 and never came back. One of his three Liquipedia pages:

@StoicGamingLive @MoistEsports Maybe not the best person to be posting a gif of in this particular story, considering he's also just as unwelcome in the gaming scene, and also rightly so.

@buzzerblog It's also formatted so sloppily. There is effectively no comeback factor beyond the hope that the opponent fully zeroes out, so the winner can be decided in the first five minutes of an hour show.

I'm pretty sure @GraceWithAnO could reach into a Scrabble bag, pull out 3-4 tiles, and tell you cold what the acronym stands for. Her knowledge of that specific subject matter is probably the single most impressive thing about her vast and incredible ability as a quizzer.

@WeNeed2BanSonic So is Oi George just the biggest wildcard of the event? High odds of a UF 6 in either direction?

[R-A-L @CircumstanceHS]

@Garrett_Archer And the word Uniparty on the back.

@ben_heathstone And if that isn't the clue to this expansion's card back puzzle...

Fun fact: There are zero players from China in the Upper Bracket Finals of #CAPCOMCUPX .

I've come to the conclusion that if someone has a strong opinion on the Gaza conflict, then regardless of which side they are on, I, as a Jewish person, cannot feel safe around them.

I didn't get a Poli Sci degree to avoid people that actually care, man...

@ProtonJon What matters now is the future. And I look forward to the future. To this year's Disc Only Colosseum. To the next Thrown Controllers circuit (even if it does miss my city). And to a stronger community that keeps on walking the talk.

@tomryanlaw That joke will be old enough to vote in Biden's 2nd midterms.

@VGBC_GimR If Player 1 intends to seek a penalty for an illegal play stoppage, it's incumbent upon them to indicate this prior to play resuming (or, if Plauer 2 rushes the resuming, to do so immediately.) Should they fail to do so, it's reasonable to see the penalty as having been declined.

@MyntyPhresh Did you make the flavor text for Minecart Cruiser? Because whoever did, that is a 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 cut and I wish to applaud their knowledge and good taste.

[R-A-L @CircumstanceHS]

And how else could #VALORANTCHAMPIONS have possibly ended, other than yet another successful timeout conversation from @omgitspotter . #EGWIN

@TheLastLeg #isitok to count winning your first World Cup in Mario Kart as a meaningful national sporting achievement? Well done England.

[R-A-L @CircumstanceHS]

@ProtonJon Not quite cereal, but definitely germane to the subject matter of the podcast.

@GeorgeCGed They are the fifth team to quality for Ascension in Brazil, as per Liquipedia.

@pinkiesbrain007 @Garrett_Archer @SenMarkKelly @RaquelTeran @RubenGallego Yes, replace. You can't run for re-election and higher office at the same time in my state. By running for Senate, Gallego leaves his House seat open.

@SongbirdCora I can only hope that these numbers will help to convince your bosses that there is merit to bringing real funding back.
