Sorry I don't follow Overwatch. Last I heard they scrapped the PvE part of the game?

In addition to the other replies you got, if you're interested there's a book called It Came From Something Awful that explains a lot of internet history.

Checking in with a Ryzen 7600 and an Nvidia 2060. Runs fine no complaints, medium-high settings. I didn't know there was outcry about poor optimization until I saw this article here.

If someone is a slave, there is no incentive to learn new skills.

I like EG, I like their dedication to NA and I want to see them succeed. But when was the last time they won a bo3 at any international event?

You could say it a lot, so people make sure you’re very human in design.

They’d probably be doing better if the cat let them use the goddamn boot!

Complexity is probably real happy with a reason to stay in EU for another event. Get some reps in. I'm keeping my expectations reasonable, they're gonna win it all babyyyy lets go coL!

He's already signed for Complexity

Mahone still seems a little nervous, but his segments can be really good. I remember a mid-round clip of coL, as well as one from a previous event, and he showcased how they adapted differently when in the same situation. I was seriously impressed.

I agree, but I struggle to put my finger on why. Is it their refusal to use any other words for Truman or The Truman Show? That read as really repetitive to me.

A lot of comedy/skit shows are like that. We take the good with the bad I guess

I know it’s not what you meant, but I giggled at the thought of James May in Texas with a big cowboy hat saying “oh cock”

The first example I thought of was Bill Gates. He amassed his wealth from a corporation that employed anti-competitive and immoral business practices. That makes him “bad”.

But what he has done with his fortune in the past few decades definitely doesn’t make him a bad person. Is his foundation and its goals the most efficient way to go from point A to point B? Probably not. Does that make him a bad person? Probably not, but it also doesn’t absolve him of sins he committed in the past.

“The dotcom bubble burst when capital began to dry up. In the years preceding the bubble, record-low interest rates, the adoption of the Internet, and interest in technology companies allowed capital to flow freely, especially to startup companies that had no track record of success.”

This is about 2001, but applies equally as well to 2023.

Rates needed to rise before it was going to come to pass.

Hey wait I’ve seen this one before!

“ The dotcom bubble burst when capital began to dry up. In the years preceding the bubble, record-low interest rates, the adoption of the Internet, and interest in technology companies allowed capital to flow freely, especially to startup companies that had no track record of success.”

Feels like NA teams are always put in the same group? Most teams probably wanted to be in Vit/NIP's position but the groups look pretty well balanced otherwise.
