Valve was on record stating that TI would still be the big one. I am thinking the majors will be like the Chinese "TI", where you have a pretty big pot (over 1 million), but nothing like TI.
That is very true. I'm pretty certain the vast majority of Navi fans are only as such because of Dendi. The team finished virtually last in TI5, but he is such a super star it doesn't really matter to the fans.
Part of the problem is that with Pro-Sports teams, the loyalty is usually...
Reports are that Sonneiko checked out of the hotel in the middle of the night and flew home on Monday. People figured Navi disband/reshuffle, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ditches the team. For a team like Navi, walking away from TI5 with a small 50k is horrible. After the team gets their...
Artstyle was useless at best and a huge liability at worst during that game. Rubick had weave like half the match because he would cast weave for no useful purpose, which allowed for easy steals.
Only thing I could think of is he hoped to catch a support trying to push out that lane or they were waiting for SF/Luna to solo push it out and Xboct+Sonn would have relocated in to kill after Dendi set up the gank.
Former players have noted that the Pats push the basics even during the playoffs, whereas other teams typically only do it during practices early in the season. IMO it has more to do with the fact that the Pats push that stuff 24/7 instead of teams that go "this is football 101 shit, why the...
Money has always been the limiting factor. If the show remains highly profitable, then it isn't a big deal. If it begins to lose steam, then you are forced to choose between either pay actor salaries or invest in the setpieces (ie, the white walker army attack). Don't forget budget almost...
Watching Navi is like watching the Red Sox this year: You know they have some talented players and they had past greatness, but when you watch them this season it inevitably always becomes a horrible trainwreck and nothing goes right.
From the NFLPA appeal
This is what they will nail Goodell on in court. Ultimately the court won't give a shit if he cheated or not, what they will care about is breach of contract/CBA and the inconsistent application of their various processes.
Ya, I'm glad they got a 3rd season and hope they get a 4th. This season has been pretty uneven as far as special effects go, though, which probably speaks to budget. This past episode had pretty solid effects, but then they had shit like the Arch blowing up with 16 bit Super NES graphics.
Well, it is a legit concern. Extremely high profile player with an extremely high profile spouse...sure, lemme just hand my personal cell phone over! Personal shit would be "accidentally leaked" to TMZ within a week.
The lawsuit will just focus on process and the fact the NFL had no tangible guidelines in place for either ball testing or the punishment involved. Federal Court case will just focus on that and probably nothing else, with a very good chance to get it overturned. I mean, the same tactic worked...
The later seasons of Xena started to do shit like go to China/Japan and then they were fighting the Roman Empire. In the last episode I think she pretty much kills all the gods except Ares and Aphrodite.
Jon Snow being rezzed by Mel was telegraphed in the books and the show. Same with L+R=J. It's fine if people figure that out because he actually wrote clues and foreshadowing into the texts and that carried over to the show as well.
