interesting part about all the elder pros not qualifying this year. do you have any idea why that happens this year, any connection with the patch?

In my opinion, if you think a rule is flawed or just bad, it should just never be enforced, if we can collectively agree that the rule is dumb, there shouldn't be any support for the rule ever being enforced, because it's giving PGL a reason to think that their ruleset wasn't the issue, when it was.

Thank you guys for making these! Love your work ❤

be a good person woohoo best podcast

No “SUBSCRIBE” in the end?!

i swear every episode has sunsfan saying an extreme but understandable opinion, synderen saying a more reasonable and opposite opinion, both opinions are correct in their own way but neither sunsfan or synderen can understand the other one. i love cat

As someone who doesn't like Ceb, PGL not making an exception for him is just a bad move. Child birth isn't just a "special occasion", it's quite literally a life or death situation where complications can arise that put both the mother and child's lives at risk. It's also a process that can also take way longer than people think.

26:40 You have to shoutout that one time xnova was the only one on stage for RNG and the crowd was just chanting his name as he gave the exit interview

Teams with subs would be interesting to the scene, I hope it would bring in more players and expand the professional landscape.

Synderen forgetting Ame made it to TI

The easy fix to protecting players from being unfairly kicked and replaced is that substitutions aren't restricted, but that every player on the original roster needs to OK the sub.

deadlock is definitely closer to dota than counter strike. the guns are essentially dota’s auto attacks.

Did someone say banana? *clicking on the video.*

TF2 has a rate of around 80% Bot Accounts to 20% player accounts. So it is not really a Top 10 game.

who's buying $1000 banana cosmetics?

A company firing someone is "damning" evidence? really? "This the classic thing of the victim not wanting to go public". How do you know this? Just like you get upset at people for not taking it at face value, you are making the same mistake by assuming something that you don't actually know. The ex twitch employee was also promoting tickets to his show because he wanted to tell what actually happened according to him. I'm not defending either side here, I'm just saying, what you guys say is "damning" is ridiculous. I lost respect for both of you, not that you care about my respect with that type of mentality, but still.

Just don't get Barkley started on who is down in San Antonio

the dr disrecpect situation really seems like he communicated with a minor but the language wasnt enough to find him guilty

I live in America. We have a thing called Innocent until proven guilty. Also in America we have the right to face our accuser . Neither thing happens. So dr disrespect is Innocent . In my eyes this is slander. To claim he sexting a minor with out evidence. Just people saying it. No court . No people under oath. Saying anything.

The twitch user was advertising that if u sell out a venue . He would tell every one why dr disrespect got banned. But u guys don't bring it up. Bc u have a one way news source

I don't understand how twitch banned him. He sued them . They paid the contract. But now there is evidence he did something on the platform that found nothing

Deadrop was ultra garbage already, nothing of value was lost.

They day Sunsfan and Sederen gets canceled on allegations and no evidence. Is gonna be a funny one

quake 1 was the goat for me and kingpin

Didn't Sneyking actively incite people against OG though with that whole 1Win fiasco? He even involved his girlfriend or something from all the talk lmao

pudge was finally a hero i didnt hate seeing on my team for all of a week and now they removed the hook speed again lol. just make it a viable pick. most people hate it because when they see it on their team its useless. just make the hero actually decent and no one will care

7.36c is very underwhelming, and it is part of a trend. I'm genuinely concerned about this sort of half-baked approach to balancing the game. It's not just awful for Immortal matchmaking. The lower you go the bigger the standard deviation and so the bigger the outliers.

What do I not understand about the Banana game? Isn't the only way to earn money by someone buying these items? Are there people spending any money on this? Am I crazy? Or are those people crazy? What the...

To be fair, sometimes companies will not wait for damning evidence to separate from a partner with an issue. I just feel like twitch settling a civil case that never became criminal is pretty clear evidence that it was twitch that made the mistake.

Was kinda hoping Sunsfan would destroy Kyrie Irving more during the NBA segment

According to sunsfan hooking someone from a screen and half away which u cant react to if u dont know its cming is "butter smooth" Classic abuser shedding tears

0:14 for get name show😅

Im waiting for the reddit thread to hate on synd like the hated on sneyking

I feel like it would be good to arrange for stand-ins before a tournament, give a list maximum 1 stand-in per position of players you want to stand-in, that way you can have more stand-ins without picking and choosing.

Synderen wrong for sure. Biggest nerf of the patch is tinker. My man got dumpstered, even arcane blink nerf was targeted at tinker

Mmmm... nana... 🍌 🦍

I will miss the old era of TI😢

It's absolutely insane that PGL don't allow teams to register substitution players. I can think of no competitive team sport that doesn't allow teams to have secondary or even third pick players to play when first team players are unable to make a match due to injury or whatever the reason is. It is the simplest solution to the problem that PGL themselves have created and I just don't understand why they don't implement it.

Saging Saba.

In Germany, you can just leave with a sicknote from the doc. Americans and their anti-human laws...

Love you guys! Great conversation always! Best caster duo vibes.

im fast af boi

35:35 The change was that the ability now heals you as well. The original facet COMPLETELY removed all healing that it did.

The whole issue about digital ownership has been a hot topic for a while now. Companies are pushing the idea that you don't own the game when you pay for it, but that you are essentially renting the game so long as they allow you access to it. Should the server be shut down(for an online-only game) or any sort of thing happen that you can't play your game anymore, you're not entitled to a refund or any sort of copy of the game. It could be that Steam's ToS is also like that and our games are only ours so long as Steam exists and allows us access. I think if your steam account is banned then you just lose all the games linked to it as well and there's nothing you can do about it. The issue of "do we really own our games?" is showing up more since digital copies become the main way games are bought.

I prefer TIs being named after the year now, they indirectly used to be with TI6 in 2016, TI3 in 2013 etc but the skipped one because of covid messed it up. The topic of Steam's policy on dead users is an interesting one, and part of a larger issue being the ownership of digital goods. Steam's policy does not surprise me as you do not own any of your games on Steam, only licences to play them which I'd expcet are user specific. Also the fact it'd be a lot of work for Valve to implement such a system where there is no financial benefit, only potential loss and I can't imaging it would be easy to verify wills from all over the world. Kinda sucks your Steam library is gone if you die but I don't think there was any expectation of anything else? I guess keep safe a paper record of your account info if it means that much to you. Unsure what Valve's policy on giving your account away if you were to die would be but philisophically I do agree you should be able to pass on digital goods, but technically I'm not really sure we actually own many digital goods (yet, hopefully)

I'm not a lifestealer specialist by any stretch, but conceptually I'm pretty sure rage is just better than unfettered. Unfettered feels like a niche pick, and its possible that if the facets were just for choosing between rage and unfettered unfettered might have good winrate by just being picked in the games where it's the best, but rage would probably still be the better facet. 100% status res (debuff immunity) is a lot better than 60%, as is 80% magic res better than 60%, but one big thing that I haven't heard brought up is you can't rage TP with unfettered. Conceptually I like unfettered, but from the moment of reading the patch notes I just thought "Why would I ever take this over corpse eater?" and I've seen nothing to change that perception since. There was clearly some animosity from Sorla towards Axe, so I'm guessing the events of Crownfall are happening long after that and they've set aside their differences enough to work together out of necessity.

I think the reason they changed it was because they skipped 2020, so it no longer lined up perfectly with the last number of each year. The fact that they changed it to TI 2021, 2022, 2023 etc bothers me as well though.

I'm a nerd so I love that analytical stuff. Please do more. Also, props where props are due, this battlepass is the best thing Valve has ever added to the game. It's the first time I've enjoyed the battlepass for what it is and not to just get rewards.
