Honey Pig or Kogiya? There's also some amazing hot pot in Annandale too, I go out there solely to eat all the time.

Played badminton in high school. Started off playing doubles, was fairly decent at it (beat some pairs who had badminton scholarships, didn't even realize that was a thing), then my partner graduated and I had to switch to singles. I was the #1 singles player on my team because the rest of my team was atrocious, I was fairly average for my league though. Went up against this 6'9' kid who was a center for his school's basketball team, kid had a huge armspan and an insane vertical leap. He beat me 21-1, 21-3 and I'm pretty sure he just gave me those points because he felt bad. It's okay though, because when I played doubles I managed to beat the league rivals (rich private school) 21-0, 21-0 by intentionally focusing a kid who had anger management issues until he jumped up and down on his (multiple hundred dollar) racket and then threw it across the gym. His grandparents were watching and got so embarrassed that they just left during the second game. Felt almost bad.

I played soccer too, my team had a bunch of kids who ended up playing professionally for a while, won several games by double digit margins.

There was a clip of a solly on badlands mid a while back getting kritzed with his Righteous Bison in a comp match. I think it was called SpaceCommander.avi or something? I've literally been looking for this clip for years now, anyone remember the link or name? It was really heavily edited I think, the pushing team was trapped in between choke and train when they were kritzed into if that helps.

Only marginally related I guess, but it's been bugging me.

That's fair and I certainly have no grudges against anyone big enough to use it, but I can think of countless threads that have been derailed by two people who apparently hate each other just getting baited in to throwing insults (not differing opinions, insults). If you're the type of person who can't resist taking the bait, then this extension would prevent everyone else from having to read 3 pages of petty insults.

I think it's more just making a point of not talking to people you know you can't have productive conversations with. You're not preventing anyone else from talking to them, you're not drowning them out, you're not making a point of telling people you're ignoring someone, you're just not engaging with someone who you think isn't worth talking to.

I'm not a gambler so this is a genuine question, why would you bet so much on Froyo on a map that favours soldiers so heavily? I could maybe see Viaduct, but betting against Ronin on Metalworks is basically betting that bdonski chokes ultrahard and that doesn't seem too likely. Ronin even beat the old Froyo roster on Metalworks the last time they played. I could see maybe a small bet on Froyo if the odds seemed overwhelmingly in Ronin's favour (at least 70%), but 115 keys? I'm not sure I'd bet 115 keys even if Jesus himself flew down from the clouds and personally guaranteed the outcome of a match.

No more so than most other video games I would imagine. I know people always say that mobas are really easy for an outside audience to understand but I've shown my gf some LoL and Dota matches and she was always incredibly confused. New players won't understand the flow of the game or the importance of uber management, but I think that seeing a rocket hit someone or a sniper land a headshot is pretty intuitive, definitely more so than most moba skillshots.

Is this going to be the new "is TF2 dead" thread? Because I was really missing those.

I'm playing mid-Open and maincalling. Would appreciate a mentor to help me with calling and medic play. I particularly need help on calling mids. Demo reviews and more in depth map reviews would be ideal. Thanks!

Sam Houston

Played with these guys for like 2 years. Super chill, friendly, good folk all around. Would be a really solid team with a demo who can call well.

Idk if I'd call them my favourite but I've been watching the Solace E-Sports matches from S15 (?) and they seemed to have some great potential, would have loved continuing to watch them. More traditional favourites are br0, Ducks, early eMG.

Last time I watched a high level Asia Fortress cast the players seemed to have pretty solid DM and/but played super aggressively. It was a ton of fun to watch but I wonder how well that'd work against more cohesive teams. Does this stack up with what you've seen?

Then why do people say sack "for" the point instead of just "s(t)ack the point?"

Why? What prevents Valve from using community observations/knowledge across nearly all their titles? It's been something I've wondered about for years, ever since they murdered DoD, and things like the R8 update with the change in round timers, the CZ lasting so long, the dozens of shitty and/or broken unlocks that have existed for years in TF2. It's like they don't believe you can identify issues if you don't have specific empirical data on it, and then ignore any other type of observation.

5 demos one medic on Viaduct. Spawncamped for the entire game.
