This is cool, seems like he's embracing being a normal person. Would love to know specifics around which players he's lost massive respect for and over what (assume Owen as well, as someone else guessed).

Other than being a miserable poo poo-heal in general, what has Owen done lately to warrant disillusionment?

Continue to be Owen.

I suspect that there was something involved in Efro not testing fully with the team and not getting the team deck list.

When he completely flipped out at over Pascal Maynard's decision to draft a foil Goyf in MM15 draft, is the somewhat but not so recent example coming to mind.

And I'm sure there are just a bunch of private examples of interactions between him and CFB guys that we're not hearing about.

They didn't pick it up on the commentary but Luis got the win there by assigning all the combat damage to the Cutthroat so Jacob didn't get the extra death trigger which would have put him at 1.

I wasn't watching, but how did this happen? Did the creature the Cutthroat was blocking have first strike or something?

I don't remember the whole board but it sounds like the Canadian messed it up a bit, should gave got more Cutthroat triggers at least. I know LSV wasn't threatening trample from the twins,

From memory I think it was:


I think Wilson put the 2/2s on the 3/2, the 3/4 on the 5/4 and sacced the scion before damage. I think he could have survived at 4 with better blocks but he was pretty dead anyway.

Also apparently LSV lost to Shuhei's garbage deck already

jesus loving christ does every pro player shuffle their cards in their hand the whole time?

They don't change. You just look like you can't handle being alive and have to do something with your hands.

Like, there's two goddamn cards. Why.

It's less annoying when the audio doesn't pick it up so dominantly, but yeah, this is an Official Pro Tick.

Also a good way to spot hilarious grinders losing to random jank at your LGS.

Yeah this Sigrist vs/ Turtenwald match is particularly bad, they're both sitting there staring each other down shuffling the cards in their hands. It's so loving dumb looking, hopefully they will make a new rule that's like "no doing that during a feature match."

For feature matches I kinda wished that they would employ a card holder (something like a scrabble tile holder) and have a 'hole camera' so we/the announcers can see the cards quickly and cleanly.

Plus as an added bonus it would get rid of the flip-flip-flip-flip-flip!

I find it funny when I ask someone when and why they started this annoying habit I rarely ever get "because i saw some pro do it". The grinders all flick their cards the same way and they all tap out math the same dumb cris-cross way

Hahah, they'll just take the cards out of the holder then slide them back in in a different order...then they'll take them out and replace them again in a different order.

That'd be hilarious.
