KQLY was not caught in a major event?

Team collusion and betting? That hasn’t happened? There have been many instances of this definitively happening resulting in DQ’s and bans from major events. That’s what is CAUGHT. It is against the organizations interest to really ‘catch’ things in the first place.

Yeah, this...unless it isn’t all a scam to begin with.

This is so ridiculous. MMA fighters are the worst in regards to telegraphing and sloppy technique. There is no way this is a fair fight, and there is no way McGregor wins or even gives a decent showing.

It totally makes sense, after I wrote that, that actual sports organizations are getting in the game of e-sports. They have tons of experience at this stuff, and can pull every game in the book in a lawless unregulated community.

Gimme a break, this is worse than the beginning of American Baseball. Betting, Throwing Games, Collusion between teams, hacking (yes, it HAS DEFINITIVELY HAPPENED AT LAN), lax infrastructure that seems to encourage such play.

Look up the recent Byali phone incident. He was allowed to connect his phone to an event PC, ‘to charge it’, until a ref noticed and made them disconnect it. Damage is done at that point and cheat injected in memory the moment that phone was connected to the PC, IF he was cheating. Whether or not you believe he was…

There are a couple ways that have been caught in the past. The players I believe are still required to log in via Steam accounts. Isn’t that how the Steam Workshop hack was loaded at that one event?

I forgot that every time something tangentially associated with MGS happens, we all need to collectively splooge...even if it is regarding someones death. It’s MGS guys!

It’s freaking Metal Gear. I dunno why the game is lauded or people investigate the story and have wiki’s built around it. It’s garbage nonsense. The writing is laughable, the plot is incomprehensible and character motivations make no sense.

Game is broken. netcode is awful. Bethesda has been deleting threads in the beta forum for several closed beta cycles now.

I called this way back before The Force Awakens: the concept of Light and Dark (Good/Bad) is at worst a lie perpetuated by the Jedi, or a fundamental misunderstanding of the force.

You mean, if content creators want to earn a living off their content, they should rely on external funds, rather than the advertising bubble YT built? It’s disintegrated. Advertisers realize it doesn’t work and it doesn’t target anyone. All that money is dried up.

YouTube monetization was designed to bring in talent and advertising funds. Advertisers have discovered investing money into YT channels does not impact business. A car insurance commercial attached to some kids Minecraft channel doesn’t increase ‘optics’ for ‘some reason’. Advertisers pulled back, and YT got scared…

Well, in a strictly legal sense, hacking damages the longevity and integrity of their ‘COMPETITIVE’ game and other investments attached to the title. They have the right to protect those investments and prevent someone from infringing.

Nah, I don’t think so. In all sci-fi space exploration stories there is a sex-fueled lusty planet that humans visit for recreation. Ironically, WE are probably that planet! That’s a speculative fiction mainstay. We can’t even conceive alien societies without reflexively considering a bachanalia right at the top of the…

All big chain stores devolve into this. I’ve worked in sales from everything to cars, server, bartender, cashier throughout my life. The focus is always on the phantom sale. How much ‘weather-proofing’ can you sell on a Baked Potato? All the language is the same, and it’s really silly. Sure, all those little things…

Yeah...he basically played to his character and had already done everything when discovered. This was hardly a ‘play’. He farmed his mob and capped. I guess the real question is why did he die? That seems like a huge gaff.

Never got very far in Witcher 3. The prologue was killing me. The intro movie was interesting, but I didn’t really get how it connected to the story at hand, and got quickly tired of the very long cut-scene heavy setup in the castle. Like, I didn’t really get what my investment in any of this was or how it was related…

Also, a kangaroo can and will easily disembowel you. Just because they don’t while you observe them from a distance, doesn’t mean it isn’t dangerous to get close to them. They aren’t ‘boxing’, they are trying to get you in an MMA style head-hold and then go to town with their velociraptor hind legs.
