That was great. I'm really happy for all the Gambit guys. I was really terrified the whole second half of Inferno.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
Hobbit 1v4 was absolutely mental. Without that, there was a real chance they just were blown out from then on. One of the most impactful clutches at a Major ever probably.

Same. Gonna be interesting to see what percentile I'll arrive at with exactly 24 points, I don't think more than half of the people who played this time will get any trophy

Hah, I was right on this. 38% rank with my 24 points, which means just over a third of all players got any trophy this time. Silver (50+ points) is top 4% apparently

Then you have a responsibility that no man has ever faced. You have your fear which could become reality, and you have Godzilla, which is reality.

:unsmigghh: yeah that's the good schadenfreude

The finals would have been good either way, it's probably the better storyline that Gambit won but Immortals deserve a title sometime soon too, they're just becoming monsters.

Battle of 3; typically for streams like this it's on the twitch channel under 'videos'.

I have no idea what games people normally commentate on in here, but for majors/Cologne it's hyped up in the game client all the time.

Probably never because they still can't compete in majors. It's a shame because dropping shroud (and maybe n0thing) for swag and/or dazed would make them absolutely insane.

They picked up Brax like 6 months ago and competed with him in the only event that wasn't part of ESL/ESEA/Valve, I don't doubt we'll be seeing him a lot more as a player than 'team buddy' or whatever their 'clearly we're waiting for a ban to be lifted' title was

I hold this opinion for pretty much every skill-based sport. PEDs as some kind of competition-ruining boogeyman is the refrain of idiots.

e:

Since esports are still maturing I would prefer it if they didn't make it an issue, especially because the difference a can of monster and 10mg of ritalin have on your ability to flick AWP shots or have accurate rifle sprays is close to nothing.

Yes good, let us encourage a bunch of teenagers (who are looked up to by a much larger group of teenagers) to take amphetamines because they feel like they need to in order to be able to compete at the highest level of the game they are passionate about. This is a good and smart and cool idea with no downside.

nah i just don't think you need to make a bunch of people piss in a cup to enforce fairness against some imaginary form of cheating

alternatively i don't think you need to make the ones that fail either disclose their medical history or find a doctor that will sign the paperwork to not get busted

when I say imaginary I mean "doesn't actually make you better"

Look, man, if you're a teenager and you're looking up to people playing esports then meth is probably an improvement.
