Desert Heat? I thought it was Dessert Heat. No wonder it tastes so bad.

Now I can only root for god Guardian and the four losers that tag along with him.

Liquid played really well to get here. They really don't have anything to be ashamed of (apart from simple singlehandedly throwing a few of those B holds). Even though I wanted LG to win here, I did want Liquid to succeed. I just think about Liquid playing Navi in the final and :ughh: that'd be ugly.

Even if I got tomorrow's game correct, I would only be at 74 (including all bonus points), fnatic hosed me too many times. My fantasy team got back up to 4% though so I hope I'll get the gold trophy for that. And if not it's no big deal either, the silver one actually looks better imo.

I would have been at 73 but I foolishly thought Astralis was done with losing in semi's.

e: At least I'm top 4% in fantasy pickem right now.

Yes, I have 65 points and tomorrow's game is a straightforward Na'Vi victory.

"You treat her like a lady... and she'll always bring you home."
in honor of liquid I just played what is easily the worst loving match of my life, given that I didn't start MMing until I was 100 hours in. 9-1-22 against fellow GN1/GN2s and we got rolled like 16-7. If I'd deranked into the silvers there, and I probably deserved to, I'd have just uninstalled and given up on the game since I'm in NA and the poo poo-stench has rubbed off. Sooo loving on tilt, lol. Probably will stop playing for a few days, it was that shameful a match.

edit: I did so terribly a bot outplayed me after it replaced one of our people ragequit at how badly I botched holding a site. :smith: I dunno what just went wrong for me, other than everything.

The only bad thing about deranking is that your teammates get worse too. As long as you don't constantly queue into 5 stacks you'll be fine.

e: I say this having deranked twice recently from people throwing on my team, one guy blatantly walling (who still hasn't been banned) and my FPS making GBS threads the bed at the end of 80% of my matches due to overheating. It happens.

Deranking is fun since you get to play against bads for a while.

Can someone explain to me how Liquid just pissed away a 15-9 lead and then a 15-6 lead ... back to back? I had to have the sound off when I was watching so I didn't get any of the commentary, I just ... saw it. And I don't understand.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

That, and nitr0 was absent for the entire major. His K/D difference was something like -20 in the LG match.

That choke :negative: I went to sleep at 2:30 AM with TL leading 15:6 on Cache because I was sure the match would go to the third map and I was too sleepy, guess I could have stayed up.

lol I'm 11 points away from gold... and I forgot to select a winner in the CLG vs. Liquid match :negative:

top 1% in my player fantasy though!
