Yo eieio, I've been to my first Michelin star restaurant (Tim Raue) last weekend and it was mind-blowing.
Can much more relate to the posts you've made about eating out a couple years back.

Can thoroughly recommend the experience. Deffo has a place on the bucket list.

hellll yea! I'm glad you had a good time :D

There's a couple of one-star Michelin restaurants here in Leuven so I checked one out and dinner is 115€ and reservations are booked a month out, good lord

Just checked and the nearest three-star restaurant to me is in Antwerpen and it's 330€ but I could go next week lol

That's a fairly reasonable price for a 1-star imo, especially given inflation and all that. I'd recommend

Sweet! I have spent more than that on dinner at other places but they usually involved 24 oz steaks, potatoes, toppings, a few cocktails, and a few ciders lol

Oh yeah expect to pay a probably like 50€+ more if you get the wine pairing that places usually have. Reminds that like the most mediocre restos in London would have like 2 week reservations lol, ah good times.

The 8 course menu, which really was 10 course if you count the additional "greetings from the kitchen", was 230€ without drinks.
It's a two star restaurant and probably booked more than 3 months ago. though I really have no idea what the difference between 1 and 2 star really amounts to and whether I'd be able to tell, lol, apart from price I guess.

It's weird to say but 115 sounds quite reasonable.
On the table next to us were a father and his teenage daughter. They were there for like 2 hours (we were for 4.5) and their bill was 900€.
They didn't have many courses and we did suspect the wine to amount to around half the bill. 50 Euro looks so cheap compared to that. (Still helluva expensive though)

Toronto recently got a Michelin Guide so I'm also going to my first Michelin-starred restaurant in a few weeks.

There have also been rumours that EG wanted to keep Arteezy as a streamer but he rejected cause he does not want to stream. Understandable, despite making a lot of money...every time he is streaming, he is playing with trolls and attention whores trying to get their five seconds in the spotlight by ruining a game.

ATF and OG are parting ways as well apparently and it is rumoured that ATF will switch over to the carry-position. His dotabuff is at least showing that he is only playing Pos1-heroes during the past days. If rumours are true and Miracle will be having a year long break, maybe Nigma will sign him as their new carry player? Would fit their mainly middle eastern oriented line-up, although I think of ATF as one of the most toxic players in public + and officials(dropping mantles etc.) which does not really fit to the reputation of Nigma and their behavior towards other teams/players.

Hmm ATF on nigma would make sense given the lack of carries at the moment. From what I understand he’s a bit toxic in pubs but nothing extreme and seems quite chill in person and in interviews.

I feel USA is a bit weird when it comes to esports, sure there's communities around Dota 2, CSGO and LoL but most teams in the biggest tournaments are anything but NA and its not like NA doesnt have the population to have enough players.

Feels like the biggest esports are like Fortnite? definetely Cod and maybe Halo, but those last 2, especially halo, are barely esports material.

I mean, in Dota 2 and CSGO NA tams had issues finding scrims, that can't be a situation 2 of the 3 biggest esports games are in, and i'm not sure Valve cares about it.

I don't know i just can't find the actual reason for that to happen

American mentality is dogshit. The general sense of superiority and entitlement is pervasive and esports is no different

I would bet the biggest 2 esports in NA (by viewers) are LoL and valorant, by a pretty comfortable margin

At least in Dota NA seems to do fine. Not 'our' teams per se, but Aui coaching Tundra, Blitz coaching Liquid, Sneyking playing is decent showing for NA bodies in the top collection of people.
