Disagrees

They have a fantastic tank in Geguri, but their supports tend to be sitting ducks against any halfway competent DPS who gets a flank on them. They also seem to have only one decent DPS in Ado as Diya isn’t nearly reliable enough to get those picks constantly. Right now their team is half the level they need to be to… Read more

I’m pretty sure their first win will be against the fuel. Read more

At least they started bad and are getting better. Fuel started hypothetically good and get worse every stage. I think Fuel might fold before Dragons. Read more

That last one is so on point it hurts...

The funny thing is, on a technical level, this was a really really smart tier pick. Because of the dimensions of the oversized characters are so different, 30% to 40% of all combos have to be altered to adjust just for that match up.

It all makes a difference. Like votes!

Dust 2 is the World 1-1 of shooters, in that I judge every FPS’s quality based on how accurately I can recreate Dust 2 within its editor. Read more

Play video games all day and tell your editors that you’re “blogging” or some shit. Read more

Eric really bringing the sick tunes, lately! Read more

Now this is what I’ve been looking for. I’ve watched some people play Hearthstone, but I guess the whole WoW/Blizzard lore—I’ve never really been a part of the fandom—never grabbed me, but I got into Magic after some of my friends started playing, and after a quite literal “Heart of the Cards” moment a few months ago… Read more

I love the fact that FighterZ has attracted people like Leffen, a Melee god, into the mix. It’s extremely fun to see the bleed over from other games into this and it provides some interesting, and very different, playstyles and matchups! Hope he gets into the Summit of Power! Read more
