you guys are underselling pg, i feel. they are a strong midgame teamfight team. they can execute the lane losing strategy into win very well, and if they get an inch more than they deserv during the laning phase, they just run away with the game.

also at Wings, they are still so praised because they havent played much before ti and then they disbanded before they got bad, so people only remember them owning. im sure of they stayed together (or if ACE hadnt fucked the up) they would also get bad eventually.

I don't want to search trough twitter, but Resolut1on was playing those qualifiers with DC. And even he said it was bullshit that his CIS and EU friends had to go trough meatgrinder quals while his team got BYE in NA quals because enemies didn't show up.
No arguing about the top teams of that qualifier, but the gap between EG/DC and the rest of the teams was laughably big.

I'm not sure how would you measure up how strong are the teams tho, because in dota that's inconsistent as fuck, i mean DC got to the TI finals.

maybe they could do it UCL style and award points to the team's region, making you could potentially win or lose spots depending on how good/bad you did last season?

Still seems like not the best idea, but if you want fair representation, i guess that's a way?

Just realised I have a 6 year old computer except the SSD that is 5 years old. (Newer keyboard, mouse and monitor.) Interesting the only real limitation I run into is for the GPU 660TI and a few games that run slower due to 8GB of ram. Though can play any game I've tried, just not at max graphics on any new AA or higher titles.

Might be time to buy myself a new one in the new years sales after Christmas, hopefully prices have gone down then. Else I guess I wait another year. Maybe just get an PCIE to M2 adapter and a bigger SSD if graphics cards are still stupidly expensive. Looks promising since prizes actually went down in August though Christmas rush might bring them up again.

sadly, the new nvidia gpus don't seem to touch on the 1000 series... might not drop in price that much

Was at a tasting of the Scotch Malt whisky society today.
Never smelt gummy bears in a whisky before. But that was an interesting one. 60% abv but smooth as melted butter after three drops of water. The dram opened up immensely over the hour or so and with some more drops of water. Very tasty piece of culture.
