    ^ What he said. I'm a BJJ brown belt. This stuff happens constantly (except oil checks). It's just part of the territory. You have a sport based around strangling people unconscious and threatening to break their limbs (and in MMA, giving them concussions) and you draw the line at covering...

    Huh? "Abusing lack of ruleset"? If it's not in the rules, it's legal. As far as smothering and throat pressure, l2grapplingdefense.

    I had the same problem. It's a known hardware issue with certain batches of the 5x that updating to android 7.0 bricked them. Google gave me a new one out of warranty as well.

    I think it could be fun as a mode with some tweaking to the ruleset. They basically are allowing people to invent their own game modes with the Custom Game expansion. Some fun shit is bound to be discovered in short order.

    Various pro streamers (IDDQD, Surefour, Seagull) use in the neighborhood of ~800 DPI on the mouse and 6.0-6.5 on the in-game slider. I think our local Hazo god @gauze uses even lower than that. The basic rule of thumb is it should take about a foot of mouse movement to turn 180.

    I went from plat to diamond essentially instantly after dropping my mouse sensitivity to "pro" level. They do it for a reason.

    On the flip side, I've had four knee surgeries (meniscus tears) and two hip surgeries (labral tears and impingement) and am glad I did all of them. Each time I felt better the day after than I did before, and I only ever took ibuprofen for pain.

    The extra frames really do help if you are making large angular swings in PoV. If I spin 180 in 1/4 second, I get one frame per 12 degrees of turn. That creates large differences between frames and your eyes can pick that up even at 60 fps. The additional framerate, while overkill in most...

    I don't think it was a work. It's definitely a weird angle to get finished at, but my guess is that it was a hybrid choke/crank. Chael (appropriately) wasn't respecting the threat of the inital standard figure-four RNC because Tito was too far off to the side. The chin movement was because he...

    A fireman's carry has the inside arm between the legs. That's a japanese whizzer. Beautifully done regardless, and the KO demonstrates why you shouldn't resist that technique by stiffening up.

    Oversumo is interesting. I have Master/Grandmaster ratings for accuracy and damage on a number of characters but Plat/Diamond overall ratings - which is about right since I'm currently +/- 3000.

    I went 4-5-1 in placements and came in at 2600 (finished last season at 2992). Promptly won 8 games straight and am now over 3k. The games at diamond feel about the same as the low-mid plat range, perhaps with a slightly lower incidence of outright trolls and crazies.

    I saw a big increase in performance when I dropped from whatever I was doing before to 800/6.5. I occasionally have trouble when big mouse swings make me hit my keyboard and I click by accident, but my aim is way better.

    I bind melee to mouse, and move regularly-used abilities off E. For example, discord orbs are much better on RMB because you can strafe right and apply them simultaneously.

    As others have said, it sounds like a lumbar spine injury. Go see a doctor.

    I can honestly see McGregor giving him some trouble. Numagomedov's standup is loose and he doesn't have great head movement. If Conor can land some good lefts a la this last fight, it might not go well for Khabib. If Khabib can get a solid clinch, though, yeah, game over.

    I think you're countering the wrong argument. I'm not complaining about my ranking. The majority of people around me are at more or less my level of mechanical skill and game sense.

    His accuracy is superlative. You can see how he's tracking his targets perfectly mid-strike as opposed to throwing punches at a fixed position as most people do. Nerd analogy - it's like watching Surefour or iddqd play Tracer. He may as well have an aimbot.
