The TL website feedback has a thread complaining that a mod called a poster who made a thread with “raw ladder data” a balance whiner. It is filled with glorious faux outrage. I forgot how worked up and bad people can be when it comes these balance arguments.

Also, its 2019 ya all. People still doing the passive aggressive Terran vs Protoss whine through posting ladder data? Have the Terrans not stepped up their balance whining game since I left SC2 like in 2011? They still asking leading rhetorical questions like everyone didn’t figure that shit out? Have they considered that this staggering lack of creativity might be a contributing factor to this lackluster ladder performance?

I gotta admit this is an elaborate balance whine. I imagine that whoever wrote the post had the biggest shit-eating grin on his face while typing

Is there some technical or practical reason why TL doesn't put a post minimum for accounts before they can start threads? I feel like it would solve a decent amount of the bot problems on every forum in the TL family.

This new Laertes thread is a self-aware parody
right?
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

I did some digging and found out he streams

https://www.liquiddota.com/forum/closed-threads/438985-streaming-chess

https://www.twitch.tv/guavaguy30

from there I opened a VOD of his

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/382411650

he's playing on a divine 1 account as of yesterday, one that has match history sharing off

https://stratz.com/en-us/player/907518511/summary

I managed to find the account anyway on stratz and it has a 70% winrate on EU (last played 3 months ago) and a 30% winrate on US east (last played yesterday) and all of his other accounts are exclusively played on US servers

This guy is a fucking goldmine and I will fight anyone that tries to tell him to quit pursuing his dreams to the death

How many high mmr accounts a guy needs to bring to 30% winrate to realize that maybe he's not good at the game?
