Unless Regi has plans to just import a ready made team of Korean or Chinese pros and slap the TSM brand on them I don't see how a new roster is going to break the grip that Korea and China have on the game. We didn't even have a European team make it out of pools this year. Would you have...

Tell me all about how you want to win worlds.

Fire everyone you can if you are the school, sue everyone you can if you are the victims, charge everyone you can if you are the police. I've got absolutely zero tolerance for sexual assaults and bullying masquerading under some absurd "boys will be boys" hazing ritual.

I just don't see anything wrong with a 5th-8th place showing at Worlds and a 75k cash award. You put in a season with Amazing, you made it past pools at Worlds, stick with it. There's nothing wrong enough that warrants taking the time to rebuild the team. Would you rather practice more with...

It was my fault for not having the stream muted.

Sure. Not that Oiso didn't deserve a warning. He deserved a warning 100%. He played a second land for the turn and that land was very relevant to the board state. It's just that if I was the judge and I was standing there the opinion of the other player is both unsolicited and unwanted. Do not...

I think campaigning for your opponent to get a warning should be considered unsportsmanlike and be a warnable offense.

If you've got the kind of store where everyone is a temporarily embarrassed professional player it'll be overrepresented, they'll get murdered by silly aggro derps (because it's a FNM, there's always derps with aggro), and be salty about it the rest of the night. This U/B archetype is very, very...

So many U/B players are going to getmurderedat their FNMs.

I already mute most tournament commentaries for most games, this one included.

We are going to come out of this event with a meta that includes some very decent control options and midrangey-tons-o-planeswalkers Mardu variants pushing the ramp oriented Devotion strategies down. Time to play face derp aggro. Gotta keep those B/U decks honest.

She did a good job as The Bowler.

I don't have a heart of fire so my perception is skewed but I don't think that coming in 5th-8th at Worlds and getting a 75k cash award is something to be all that ashamed of or a reason to change around the roster. I feel that way from the perspective of Amazing and Reginald both.

Carried too hard at low Elo, ate a bunch of nerfs, got hit hard by the changes to Lizard Elder, that kind of thing.

There's a graphic novel sequel coming out at some point.

Was having a good time until Stan passed out. Then I was having agreattime.

The movie ends better so maybe. They are still both very good.

Finally, the change I've been waiting for to play support Gangplank.

Playing the characters that have the best ratio of hard to fuck up versus power has been my strategy for years.

Which I think is a much more reasonable design goal. The jungle role by its nature is more likely than other lanes to be dominated by a very small subset of champions. In a lane you are right up against your opponent and the unique abilities of each character have a huge impact on how that lane...

Yeah, that's her. I said this before but her handle was Riot_Damiya or Damiya or whatever.

The tanky junglers are usually the ones who get chewed up on their first few clears. If it gets harder they'll see even less play.

Making the camps themselves very different is a good direction to go. You could have different camps being stronger or weaker versus certain things and lead to decision making regarding routes. If you combine that with camps having additional effects related to clearing them with Smite it could...

I wonder if anyone at Riot remembers that they made the jungle easier in prior seasons with the exact same goal - to promote diversity.

After coming back to the game it didn't take me all that long to decide I wasn't interested in backdrafting. The only person so far I've seen that was pushing for it was also The Shark that likely had the best chance of getting first picks (and he knew it). I like my casual derping just fine as...

10/11 and the one I got wrong I juked myself by not wanting to select the same answer four times in a row.

Has everyone been able to get their hands on enough product given the drought?

None of the people I am playing with seem to value green all that highly and I keep getting handed cards like Awaken the Bear and Savage Punch way later than makes sense. I really shouldn't even be trying to draft anything else until that changes. I should just sit down intending to force green...

Hey, I'd pass him because I'm a filthy casual that wants to play green and punch bears. Mist would take the dollars which I can also respect. I just think that passing excellent win conditions is a shit idea and passing them to go into heavily contested colors (which you just told the guy to the...

There are first pick wedge cards you say? A bold proclamation.

I like Mist's answer more than "I'm forcing Outlast every single game."

Alright, you sit down and your first pack has Zurgo in it along with 3 uncommons and 11 commons. What are the commons and uncommons you value higher than a strong win condition such as Zurgo that you are willing to pass off to another player? Passing win conditions is a pretty shit idea generally.

I don't like it when someone just tosses a Tracking out when they aren't digging for something specific. The turn 1 Tracking is just asking to get shown something like Highmane Highmane Unleash. Hope you didn't both copies of Highmane this game.

Why even reboot? The audience knows as much as you need them to know to do X-Men stories. Just cast the same people and get to work.

Hearthstone's competitive depth comes from the emerging multiple deck formats. If a tournament structure was one deck with some "best of X" it would be very, very uninteresting.

Looks like a time travel thing with worm holes and a circular end-is-the-beginning-is-the-end story arc. OH NO THE SHIP THAT WENT TO FIND A NEW PLANET IS THE CAUSE OF THE DISASTER THAT MORTALLY WOUNDED OUR PLANET BECAUSE WORM HOLES type of thing.

The least expensive competitive decks in MtG are more in the 200+ area than the 100-200 area. The least expensive deck that I can think of that is still an optimal configuration would still be north of 200.

In the last draft I played in I started out as W/R with Deflecting Palm and some Mantises before rare drafting (because I'm a filthy casual) an Icy Blast that would later become integral to the Sultai deck I ended up with. Good luck everyone figuring out those signals.

He was integral to the cracking of the Enigma Machine. Couldn't they have let him fuck all the legal age dudes he wanted?
