@ForgFromFinland Best public perception*. Noone has any idea what's going on behind the scenes and how much each coach contributes

@GOA_GILL_420 @BLASTPremier @AstralisCS @natusvincere tournament started with 16 top seed teams who each have a bounty, and 16 lower seed teams who picked an opponent from the top 16 teams. If the lower seed wins, they get half the bounty of the opponent they beat as prize money, and half becomes their own bounty for next round.

@MojitoMohamed @Grazen @aalby__ @CounterStrike @Feiron42 @TorontoUltra @MovistarKOI Reading comprehension? Where did he say "2025 or quit"?

[throwaway4743 @excessive_]

"Seamless" and "streamlined" seem to have replaced "literally" in the vocabulary of simple minded people who want to pose as intellectuals. The #SoftwareDevelopment industry in particular is full of those - 1 of every 2 #LinkedIn posts contain at least one of them.

@HLTVorg @XANTAREScsgo Esports players are known for having long careers, he can afford not to care about making the most bank possible.

@jaxi_cs Beating a dead horse at this point bruv.

#SquidGame2 feels like it ended in the middle of the season.

@HLTVorg Big upgrade. TL should be a solid top 5-6 team now.

@AgarYeHo_Chess @GMHikaru You are making this about whether or not the decision was correct or not because it obviously suits your thesis. Nobody is arguing against FIDE not giving Magnus priviledged treatment, but against the stupidity of their rules.

[throwaway4743 @excessive_]

@VipinZamvar @FIDE_chess @MagnusCarlsen Strawman. FIDE is not the game. Arbitrary, subjective, human-made laws are not chess.

[throwaway4743 @excessive_]

@H_this_side @FIDE_chess What does Chess have to do with laws made by FIDE?

@NaToSaphiX @imperialesports Virtue signaling at its finest. They did not qualify there because of their results, they're a T3 team at absolute best, and only got invited because Blast wants to virtue signal "hey we also have women here".

The only time I use AI asisstants is for my pet projects, and as tutors not as coding buddies. I set them up not to receive code, but patterns and conceptual ideas. The point is never to solve a specific problem, but to become a better developer. 2/2

[throwaway4743 @excessive_]

So many of my dev friends have quickly adopted AI tools like #Cursor and #Copilot, and most of them are now dependent on them to keep up the same output they got their clients / managers used with. Not to mention they recognized they're worse devs now than they were before. 1/2

@2112SSBM @usernamexdotcom @ThourCS2 @imperialesports @natusvincere @BLASTPremier @FACEITcs @FACEIT I did not direct any slurs towards anyone, you might have (purposely) missed the tonality of the comments in question. One was edgy, the other was genuine verbal aggression as a result of getting triggered. All good though, the bar is really low for nowadays' internet.

[throwaway4743 @excessive_]

My #LinkedIn feed is full of shit takes, but the pain of modern social media is that you can't publicly argue against idiots when your real name is attached to your reply, especially when the side effects can pour into your career. Just ignore and only use it for job applications

@Mauisnake Oh so you were just trying to offer some context and put things into perspective, I get it. Thanks for clarifying.
