Damn if only kespa cup wasn't at the same time, flash could have farmed wcs points easy here with that lineup. Of course no guaranteed kt would send flash, but this is one of the easiest as far as wcs points go.

The only thing that will hurt is Dreamhack, not the Russian government, its not like they were involved. So you want to hurt DHboss and esport? Its DH Moscow not DH Putin.
I disagree with this almost completely. It's not like this conflict hasn't been going on for the whole year, it could have been postponed or moved. Any local revenue made from this is going to go back into the community and that's something I morally can't support. Someone Mentioned supporting E-Sports at all costs ... that's a very naive statement to make, E-Sports is something that brings people together and promotes friendship, fair play and honesty. These are all qualities that the Kremlin is basically shitting on right now. So clearly the best thing to do is throw our dirty e-sports money at them .... makes sense :/

You said that last time.
Anyways wooo Solar! Finally get to see Solar play in foreign event! And Dear too!
Yes, and he got a lot closer than most people expected. Remember those people who said he'd struggle to make it out of the open bracket? Yeah, about that...

man, it's when i read post like yours that i realize that the propaganda campaign works on both sides (russians are brainwashed by putin / state TV) and americans (and to some extent a lot of europeans) are also brain washed by western media TV propaganda (and i say this, having lived more than half of my life in California, and even less in Russia)
there is absolutely nothing to be worried about visiting russia, no matter where you come from and especially from eastern ukraine. perhaps you don't know this but russians and ukrainians are deeply bonded (and this is part of why there this shit conflict going on) tons of russians have families back in ukraine and vice-versa. just 3 weeks ago two friends from ukraine were visiting moscow, traveling and using around their ukrainian passport. do you think anything happened? guess what.. it did not. what do you think it'd happen ? rofl.. someone be like "YO HE'S FROM UKRAINE!" and then beat him?
whether or not you agree that DH should be held in russia, this is a different discussion on which i have my opinion, but saying dramatic sentences like "stay safe if you're traveling from eastern europe" is simply laughable. i understand it's not your fault because you only have one point of view which is the one that they vomit on CNN/ABC/FOX etc. and highly likely that you have never even been to either ukraine, russia or the whole eastern europe.
i hope snute can show some sick ZvP without the use of the cashhosts like vs sOs.. and I also hope MMA/Life will do very well.
