Totally. It should at least be uploaded in order. I have to piece together the order myself by going through every title beforehand which is such a pain. Being able to watch in order is a bigger priority for me than spoilers, it’s not exactly GoT level plot twists. They would have to remove all names and faces from the titles and thumbnails

I knew I wasn't tripping when I saw that XD! All I could think was "Do you HAVE to show my boys disappointment directly in front of their celebrating!?" Like there was no other camera angle available at that exact moment to show the celebration and let the loser have their somber moment? The only thing that was harder to watch was when I saw a players face in pro league of legends when they screwed up and got caught out really bad as Twitch and cost their team the game. Before anything was said and done you could tell he knew HE fucked up and cost his team the game and they just left the camera on his face that looked like it was about to burst into tears in pure shame and "I'm like okay 2-4 seconds is enough cut to the fucking casters who are talking geezus!"

All this weakness in this community is so ridiculous. In professional sports after the superbowl, the camera pans to the key players of the losing team to show the agony. It highlights the contrast of the moment. Watching someone celebrate doesn't showcase the power of the moment unless you see how equally devastating it is for the other side to lose. It's nothing personal against anyone. They'd have done the same thing to the winner if he lost. You people need to toughen up.

The organization didn't show it enought, the contrast of emotion is one of the most central themes in sports. You have someone at the highest high and someone at the lowest low, this is how it goes and framing it is the perfect thing to do.

I think you don't quite understand how these work. People test to find the best combination of cards, and bring them to tournaments. No matter how hard you balance, its impossible to avoid a certain combination from being "the best". Which might only be a couple percent higher winrate

@darron614

Жыл бұрын

@Mike Asterios I don't think you really even read my comments. It's not really about winrate. Over 50% of the tournament was Rakdos or Rakdos shell (Grixis splash blue). That's just simply not a healthy/fun standard meta. We'll see what happens with the May 29 ban announcements.

Every time the commentators say Atsushi, I think he's going to cast Su-Chi and we'll be transported back to 1994 😅

I disagree. He went for a haymaker with Etali and his two flips were flops. Had one of those have been a Chandra or Invoke, he probably takes the game. Basically he got pretty unlucky with his draws, which was the unfortunate story of this pro tour finals

See, with chess, live is cool because it's actually 3D. But with cards everything is 2D anyway....might as well do it digitally.
