It’s poo poo that BE died that way but it’s been in a slow decline for a long time. I used to be a BE regular, but the community mostly died and the attempt to resuscitate it was to drop the moderation standards that made it somewhere I wanted to spend my time to begin with. The engagement first model devolved into a bunch of hateful assholes brigading anything remotely political and never commenting on anything that had to do with the sport otherwise.

The thread here has been more fun to hang out in now, and the live threads on SA replaced the live threads on BE for me. I don’t have time to organize one while traveling but the Bloody Elbow Clan War was legendary and it would be cool to do something like that here.

What is the bloody elbow clan war

Group tapology fantasy. You had a team of 4 picking every card and each card you were playing against a different team. There was a league season followed by playoffs, and live event threads with a ton of smack talk and friendly ribbing.

I'm Sean O'Malley hater number one now that DRJ doesn't post here, but he's absolutely a world-class fighter. Do I think he beat Petr Yan? No. Did he give Petr Yan a tougher fight than everyone but Aljo and Merab? Indisputably. Do I think he deserved the fight with Aljo? Not remotely. Did he knock Aljo the gently caress out? Easily.

His matchmaking and marketing are poo poo and booking the Chito rematch was really stupid, but he's absolutely world-class in the division. I will also never pick him to win a fight because he sucks rear end. Both can be true.

It’s this. It’s been obvious he’s very good for a while now if you can get past the clown, but he still isn’t fully tested.
