Well it was destined to happen so Faze Clan wins the Pro league season 17 championship and it wasn't much of a contest to be honest.
They made up for losing the last finals earlier in the year with this win and getting the over $1million prize in doing it in style.
Twistzz is the only player in pro league to win this championship twice with two different teams which is a very surprising statistic to hear.
I thought Cloud9 were going to put up a better fight than what they did actually and had over 4.5 maps.
They had the old Gambit roster so I guess back to the drawing board for the coach and the team is needed so to be more competitive in their next championship run.

I was surprised to read that Holly Holm was given a six-fight contract with the UFC.  I figured her fighting days were behind her after taking down Ronda Rousey in one of the biggest upsets ever, who everyone thought was unbeatable.  That was a while ago and Holly wasn't a spring chicken back then, so it's surprising to see she's signing long fight deals with the UFC while Ronda Rousey is messing around with fake wrestling.  Congrats to Holly, and while I'm surprised, that seems to be the trend with her.  Surprising everyone.  Let's see what she does next.
Holly looked in great shape and beat her opponent quite easily even though it went the distance. There was no doubt she was going to win with her ground game. But I do agree with you, she is getting quite old so she only has a few more years but hearing she has another 5 fights to go so to close her contract is something unusual to hear.

I actually caught Ronda Rousey's very first fight at UFC 3 when she beat Miesha Tate for her first title win on UFC 24/7 fight pass today.
That was so long ago and to think Holm beat her to win the championship is very impressive the way she was the armbar master back in 2016 onwards.

@danherbias07 @YuginKadoya
Marlon Vera fight which I currently have on the UFC Fight Pass playing to rewatch the fight it was a disappointing loss but he didn't do much during the entire fight. First and second round was Cory's I think Vera won one or two rounds after that. But Sandhagen just looked more active and shooting those takedowns to win the fight. Even Marlon's coach in the corner kept telling him inbetween rounds he had to start fighting.

During the post-interview fight COry calls out Merab and asks him if he is hungry, and he had something for him and it don't taste good! hah, now that was funny.

After the fight Merab was at the arena but causing some trouble as you can see from the footage captured by the fan who was getting attacked by the UFC fighter.

Merab Dvalishvili goes after a fan and the footage. Cory Sandhagen calls out Merab, Chito on loss:

Here is the post fight interview with Cory Sandhagen and what he had to say about his challenge to Merab Dvalishvili:

Another one for Ripple against the SEC which from the looks of it will be closing soon enough in favor of Brad Garlinghouse.
https://bitcoinist.com/ripple-bolsters-case-new-filing-ruling-end-april

The SEC thought taking on the cryptocurrency sector meant they were going to knock each one over like dominoes and that was it.

Elon Musk says Twitter is now worth less than half of the $44 billion paid less than 7 months ago.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/26/elon-musk-twitter-value-leaked-memo-less-than-half-paid

Atleast he had a good time at being The Big Boss of the Socials and seemed to have fun at trolling everybody he had any sort of contempt towards while doing it.
So probably worth the over $20+billion he overpaid after all is said and done, for this richest man of the world.

The finals are here for Pro league season 17 at Saint Julian's in Malta!
We have a B05 for this match between Faze Clan up against a surprising Cloud 9.
I certainly didn't see this team making it to this point with all the over hauling of their roster during the season.

Exactly!
High VIP ranks can ask from VIP Host for specific wager periods or overall account statistics. Usually, support sends statistics in form of crypto but the Vip host can send the overall turnover amount in USD.
Easy for experienced users, I still know some plat 3 users who don't know how to use chat features Cheesy
So this is what the VIP host are for. I have thought they are just there to distribute reloads when a platinum iv player has run out.
They have other roles to perform for their vip players other then giving overall statistics on one's gameplay and dispensing reloads?

I have never really seen the sense of even having one as just a quick visit to live support can process the same functionality in these two tasks.

If this is the case, then Stake needs to find out where their expertise is focused towards,

SEC sues another celebrity the exact same one that they did to Kardashian on the promotion of a cryptocurrency scam.

SEC fines former NBA star Paul Pierce $1.4M over Etheruem Max
https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2023/02/17/sec-sues-former-nba-star-paul-pierce-over-ethereummax-promos
https://decrypt.co/121615/nba-star-paul-pierce-sec-fine-ethereum-max

Don't know why it took this long after fining her to go after this ex-NBA star for the exact same suit regarding promotion of a cryptocurrency.
But they only did just settle this late last week so they are really going with a fine tooth comb to squeeze even more out of this situation on the aftermath of the downfall of cryptocurrency exchange FTX months later.
From the latest "Shill Team" of who got served by Scary Gary and SEC this past week, NBA All-Star Shaquille O'Neal was mentioned as one of the defendants in this lawsuit. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/world-news/us-sec-files-crypto-fraud-lawsuit-against-lindsay-lohan-and-7-other-celebrities/articleshow/98931900.cms?from=mdr
Soulja Boy a producer of music and rap-artist is the only one in the lawsuit who hasn't settled and paid the fine.
So he is the only one to have enough contempt for what Gary Gensler and the SEC are doing and decided to fight back with a countersuit?
Along with the other cases currently going on with Garlinghouse CEO of Ripple and now Coinbase with Brain Armstrong against their earn program you would think they have enough on their schedule.
So now just might be the right time to pursue this to the Nth degree.

ESL Pro League Seaon 17 Quarter Finals are happening today!
Beginning in about 2 hours from now so strap in, it is going to be an awesome ride for these end of the season matchups!

Faze clan vs Forze epsorts is a one-sided affair with Faze being the favorites @1.22x while Forze are a whopping @4.00x odds in the this tilted to the Faze-Up crew.

Heroic vs Navi 4 hours after the first match of the day started. These two teams are pretty level Heroic being the favorites @1.65x while Navi who had lost their past matches to lower ranked teams are @2.15x so your guess is as good as mine who will take the spot in the finals on Sunday.

As Sportsbet.io official resident here on the forums has already mentioned on the Sportsbet.io Announcement thread, there is an issue with the category of esports which was located on the scrolling tab at the top of the site. But it hasn't been there for the past couple of weeks.

1594  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Justin Sun sued by SEC. Effect on Bitcoin? on: March 23, 2023, 11:36:14 AM
Another stressfull news for the community.
Stressful?
Maybe you meant stressful for the Tron community, not the entire crypto community.Justin Sun has started having a really bad influence on nearly everything he touches, and lately, all his plans ended in either a failure or a dumpster fire.

But one must see the funny irony in this, just three days ago:
Justin Sun Puts Forward Proposal to Acquire Credit Suisse
Anyhow, this is not bad for BTC is bad for Tron and their shitcoins, one less alt on this over-saturated market just makes it a bit better.
And the timing certainly seems suspicious, doesn't it? Maybe the SEC was trying to distract us from the FOMC meeting with a little crypto drama.
Common, if the SEC would actually go after each suspicious case as they should they could make the news every single week, look at what has happened in all those deals behind every single one of the failures in FTX, 3AC, Genesis, how every single of those stablecoins are backed by empty promises just as bad as Credit Suisse, they have enough material for years to come just on recent events.
Besides, the dump started after the FED announcement, 2 pm EST is 18 on this graph

Didn't he put in an offer to buy out FTX and be the so-called savior of the company when it's stock was free falling out of the sky and CZ was proposing to do the same thing but ended up backstabbing SBF and blatantly letting them fail?
These type of so called innovators in the cryptosphere are just seeking an opportunity and then seizing it the best they can so that everybody eventually falls for the samething they are preaching.
No different than a snake oil salesman from the days of the wild west. But instead in the time of the digital era.
I see Justin Sun and CZ as the cyberpunks of our time.
So he was found to pay certain celebrities in promoting his company's tokens.
"He was also accused of concealing payment to celebrities to promote TRX and BTT on social media accounts, misleading the public into thinking they had 'unbiased interest in TRX and BTT, and were not merely paid spokespersons.'"

^^ Right @ tjtonmoy  Grin

Elon has lost interest in cryptocurrency and his new fascination is in artificial intelligence.

"Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, has been a prominent figure in the world of cryptocurrency, especially Dogecoin. According to  recent tweets, it appears that he may have lost enthusiasm for the meme-inspired cryptocurrency, as he has expressed a newfound interest in AI.
Given Musk’s current fascination with AI, it’s possible that he could have an interest in RenQ Finance, as the platform is designed to be AI-friendly. This means that it can integrate AI technologies to enhance it's services and improve the user experience.
However, this shift in interest has caused concern among DOGE investors regarding the future of their investments. In this article, we will delve into the recent developments surrounding Elon Musk and Dogecoin, as well as provide insights on Cardano (ADA) price predictions. Additionally, we will examine how RenQ Finance is poised to lead defi space in 2023.

Elon Musk and Dogecoin (DOGE)
Musk’s tweets have historically had a substantial impact on the price of Dogecoin. However, his recent social media activity suggests a waning interest in cryptocurrency. On March 3, 2023, Musk tweeted, “I used to be in crypto, but now I got interested in AI." Additionally, in the previous month, the tech mogul warned of AI being one of the most significant threats to the future of humanity. Back in July 2020, Musk predicted that AI would be ‘vastly smarter’ than humans and would surpass us by 2025.

These remarks have contributed to a significant decline in the price of DOGE. As of March 20, 2023, the cryptocurrency’s value had decreased by approximately 4.30% over the last 24 hours, trading at $0.07, with a market capitalization of roughly $9 billion."

Aston Martin's car seems to be a hybrid between three different cars from last years variants:
Alpine, Mercedes and Red Bull.
Alpine for their pod concept with the curve on the top which is not similar to any of the above mentioned car designs.
Mercedes for the front wing design but has slight variations to make it even more aerodynamically superior in every sense of the word.
And last but certainly not least the Red Bull Racing RB18 in it's over all body structure from the 2022 season.

It's all business, Elon Musk is smart and a smart rich man who is out of cryptocurrency don't know what he is doing, another rich figure that's into crypto is Kiyosaki, Elon already is a popular figure and he careful choose Doge coin for some reason, if you look at things carefully Doge coin is still better than many altcoins in crypto space.

The case of John McAfee was different, Elon won't end up like McAfee because I was present when McAfee was shilling useless tokens, resulting in big losses and a few of the shitcoins exits scam, this is one of the reasons why SEC was after McAfee before he died.
McAfee and Musk are complete polar opposites in my point of view.
John was a recluse and ran to another country when he didn't want to pay taxes and the government was hunting him down for it.
While Elon is outgoing as you can see in the above photo at the World Cup in the so called Owner's box of the event and is completely transparent in his business affairs.
Which does pose a threat to the United States national security as the Biden administration is condemning him for now with this selfie post by a foreign propagandistic iinfluencer of the russian type persuasion.

There was an Oscar winner in this years Academy awards which puts a spotlight on such people in the media but in this case they were against the empire.
