I feel like OG at this point are going to pick up some fresh faces to try to mage some magic or something

at this point that's really their only option, everyone else is on a team already

that or they'll just grab an entire roster that's not in an org yet, I think both teams in WEU div 1 that came from lower division are orgless right now

so the EG.gabbi rumor must have actually been "gabbi is going to play with fly" or something

This team just failed to qualify for the 2nd division - they lost in the open qualifiers against Ragdoll (vtFaded; AhJit, ...). Hopefully they do better in the second OQ tomorrow...

Honestly feel like the new EG lineup doesn't sound all that good, at least in terms of Major play. Like you switch out iceiceice for Nightfall and that's obviously a pretty massive downgrade for a long while (and honestly idk if Nightfall will ever be as good at offlane as iceiceice) and you switch out Fly for Jerax which on paper is at least a slightly more sensible switch but on the other hand both Crit and Jerax have identical hero pools so idk. None of this helps to resolve EG's drafting problems. I can see a universe where the lineup is good but it just seems on paper to be so greedy and the very definition of a superstar team (but I suppose EG has always been that superstar team).

They should have just called up OG.Seed and asked if they wanted to carry the banner for a season.

bzm is hansha who is another 16 year old pubstar. yuragi is space who is the old carry from team unique. im surprised that yuragi is the carry they went with - i can understand every other player on the lineup but idk about him.

RNG also took Elephant's div 1 spot so maybe Somnus was the owner of it. This moved them up from starting in div 2.

So from what I can gather, Hotaruz (no idea who this is) is the owner of the BumblebEEs team slot so he made a team with 4 women (and all the team members, himself included, have relatively low MMR compared to other teams in the division) for this DPC season and now people are angry because hotaruz has sexual assault allegations from overwatch/ they're taking a slot away from a "real" team but most of the hate and death threats seems to be directed at the women because gamers

Is he actually into crypto grifting? I thought all that talk about putting a deposit for a shiba was him getting an actual dog, since he was talking about going to a vet and stuff.

It's just "Ukraine". Adding "the" is some Russian/Putin poo poo to make it seem like less of an independent country and more of a territory under their control.

He seems to be anti-NFT here but I think he also gets sponsored by one of those crypto trading sites. Not sure if he believes in them though, I feel like half of the streamers just take sponsorships from one of those and just have the logo in the corner somewhere while not actively promoting it

If I recall correctly this was specifically when OG started hawking NFTs, which pissed a lot of people (including me) off and a bunch of em were really going in on Notail, as it kinda undermines his whole stated philosophy.

It's kinda funny that NFTs are in the realm of stupidity where it's like "no, EE's dumb but he's not THAT dumb"

It long, long predates Putin, but yes, Ukrainians would strongly prefer people not use an article with it.
