yup for sure you'll get better performance, but how large the performance gain also depends on your gpu too.
before upgrading you should really check on which processors will work together with the rest of your computer. people would be able to help you out more if you list each part of it.

i heard something about this on someone's stream awhile ago (i don't know who's stream so i don't have any proof) but what it sounded like they were talking about was that they were just going to dreamhack to make their own tournament so it isn't an official dreamhack event. i'm probably wrong, but it's still cool regardless to have another lan.

uberchain do you know what animal that is?

i don't understand how this warrants being banned apart from the dingo bong thing, which happened a while ago and if he is going to be banned for that, should have happened back then.
bape is already banned from the forums. idk where else you would like him to get banned from i guess pugs would be the next thing but it seems quite far fetched if you're going to ban him because of his bm. if people are going to be banned from everything the community puts together (i assume pugs, etf2l and forums) based on the fact that they are offensive, tonnes of people should be banned. there are so many other racist/homophobic/transphobic people in this community. idk you or him but this sounds like a personal problem with him.
i don't think mason's forum posts are nearly as bad as you make them out to be either. they certainly aren't ban worthy at least.

at the moment i don't think the way esports now there are ever chances of it being played at the olympics, but i have the idea that as time goes on, it might show itself to be able to played at the olympics.
i think esports has only recently become a mainstream thing and so there aren't very many. i don't play any of them, but i'm pretty sure the only popular played ones are like heathstone, league, dota (all 3 of which i think you can play at the same time) and cs:go. i really don't think these games highlight what esports could be and they are all, in my opinion anyway pretty unfit to be played at the olympics. i have a hard time imagining them on a huge stage in front of so many people as it is.
when there's a game that average people don't have to be convinced requires skill comparable to an olympic sport, then i think it can do it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rh1snflsvk is this a scenario where you would let the sniper hit through walls?
i wanted to find footage of one doing it on badwater because this is a pub map and i guess it kind of isn't as big as a factor here, but imagine you were being shot at through this glass and you weren't a sniper, i'm going to use soldier for example and you were far away. usually you'd fire a rocket, but i think it would be pretty complicated if rockets can wallbang too. the rocket is supposed to make the sniper leave the position and then maybe you can jump or something, but you can't shoot that spam rocket because the glass is blocking so you're giving him free shots until you jump by which time he has enough time to escape.

could probably had said that without typing as much, but there we go

idk what spoilers you guys are talking about, but if this can be used on the logs on the matches thread, it would be very nice. also ty enigma

i don't know future personally and maybe i'm just jumping into a conversation i don't know much about, but just because he makes a lot of content and pretty much dominates the art on the forums doesn't mean he's shoving his art down your throats, if that's what your argument is anyway. also the point that his art is bad because he uses the same style or maybe he even copies exact things from his other pieces is so riddiculous. i can easily look at one of his artworks and know he made it the same with looking at a warhol or a basquiat. really disagree with what condesendingcandlestick said about repetivity sucking. look at most famous artists from the past, i dont really know many artists, but if you look at something but keith hairing, or rothko, or warhol (especially warhol) you could say all their pieces look the same, but they are still some of the best artists of all time. personally i agree that his style, at least the eay he presented it, doesn't really fit in with the tip of the hats aesthetic, but that's fine because he is not forcing you to buy it. i can also read the text on this art perfectly on my phone btw without enlarging it so i dont see how that is a problem either.

i like the idea of this, but why only british players?

this is dumb lol

is anyone else finding your mouse feeling different? is that supposed to happen?

maybe you should edit some jump videos instead of frag videos, but obviously do what you want. if you want to go nuts with editing, i think it's better to do that there because a lot of it is cool aesthetics, but when people watch a frag video the frags and the aim is the most important thing.

maybe for your next frag vid if u make one u can decrease the intro time? half of it is just looking at people running around in a map. cool frags though even if they are hard to make out.

this roster was made before the reason thing, so that can get in the way of this team.
