What if the midlaner is going to be Armel? He's free and I don't know any other midlaners that are quite available as of the moment and I'm sure Puppey is willing to explore that.
Armel would be a good potential pick up for Team Secret as I remember seeing his LFT tweet including the other players from Fnatic.

There's also OG announcing their role swap between Chuvash and Misha, so now Chuvash will be taking the support role together with Taiga while Misha moves to the coaching position.

https://twitter.com/OGesports/status/1632788479666008065
Armel is flexible and I think really suits the play style of Team Secret but still, it would be hard to ignore the comparison between him and Nisha. But then, everyone has to move on. And for OG, it's good that Misha swapped position with Chuvash since it's notable that with the tournaments that has passed, it's always that Chu was there and he's not able to participate due to some personal reasons, IIRC, it was related to health concerns but either way, both are good players and that's why OG won't just let them go.

They're talking about quantum computers that might break the network security of blockchains and PoS in nature. We don't know what's gotta be the future but all of those are the same as the crypto market, they're all speculative. Been hearing that a lot that there will be a technology that shall replace blockchain and kick out bitcoin on its ranking and that's the same with the topic about there could be a possible technology that might recover those lost bitcoins forever. It's just being talked about but never seen it happen in actuality.

GG won the major without dropping a single map in playoffs, impressive!

After Liquid beat talon it was looking like they could give GG a fight in the finals even with a standin, but ended up a clean 3-0 instead

This just proves how valuable supports are  Cheesy
That's so true but all roles are important and that's why when Team Liquid's roster isn't complete, many have already expected them to have that drop in their performance. Not to blame their stand-in because he still did well against Talon but with all the matches they've made with GG, it's really visible that they're no match against them. Another long week without no action in the Dota 2 scene but for those that are still unaware of it, the latest news about Team Secret's roster is out, Resolution and zayac are already out of the team.

You don't need more advice as you already did what you think is right and suggested it to your director. Let that time of informing your customers see the result of that survey you're doing if many of them will respond positively.
Not just because you've announced that you'll accept bitcoin, many customers will be on it already. That's not how it goes but not that much also will change if you adopt that as you've given the customers more payment method choices.
2065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: March 07, 2023, 12:45:56 PM
I agree it's better to stick with Team Secret and avoid playing those extra matches through the qualifiers. And there are rumors that Team Secret might be removing Zayac from the team while Boom is potentially moving to the offlane role.



The roster change somewhat lines up with Reso moving to Old G but now i'm more interested to know who will be Team Secret's midlaner and soft support.  Grin
This is one of the exciting part when a team dissolves and another good team has that rumor of changing their roster. Zayac is no doubt a good position 4 but I like more the tandem of Puppey and Yapzor. When Fnatic was dissolved, I thought that DJ will be going to Team Secret to replace zayac but he went to bleed esports. What if the midlaner is going to be Armel? He's free and I don't know any other midlaners that are quite available as of the moment and I'm sure Puppey is willing to explore that.
2066  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Solana failure resistant? on: March 07, 2023, 09:19:37 AM
What is wrong here? Is it true that blockchain networks are failure resistant?

Or, alternatively, is it true that we misclassify some blockchain-solutions and put a wrong label on a product? What is your opinion?
No system is perfect and even blockchain and with the classification of the use cases of blockchain through different projects like solana, we're seeing the vulnerability of it depending on how it's built. Too many times have it failed and that's why in my eyes, it's not the project where I'll invest. I'll give some examples of the news that has been reported about its network outage issues.


Mind you that these outages did happened at different times.

Gaimin Gladiators with the 3-0 sweep in the grand finals as they're able to first pick Lina three times in a row. Team Liquid gave so much respect to the core heroes of Gaimin Gladiators and prefer to ban them first but they only needed the Lina carry to edge out Team Liquid.
Surprisingly, it was the hero that snuck them for the first and second games and then still didn't ban it. I thought by the game three they would ban her but I guess just after the game 2 they already gave up.

On the bright side, my outright bet on Team Liquid won, and luckily I decided to ride it out because I was thinking of betting on Talon at some point earlier.

Congratulations! Well, on the other hand, they've swept Talon.
2068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: March 06, 2023, 03:21:51 PM
They never banned it for the entire series, for three games. It's crazy to think that Team Liquid never banned it when the first game Lina had already given them a problem. Even it's jabbz that played for pos 5 and insania for pos 4, the adjustment was quite hard on them but it's too obvious for them to just ban comfort heroes of GG. They all knew how good this team was even before the other tournaments. On the game 3, it's funny that the whole Team Liquid was just laughing with what they're doing, that's already a sign that they accept defeat.

The problem is not the hero but how Nisha is dominated by Quinn in all of their game. GG will just use a different hero if they will ban Lina and it's very easy to counter Lina if it doesn't have a good laning phase which he always has since the rotation doesn't help Nisha at all compared to when Boxi does it to support Nisha. I think the gameplay is purely relying to Boxi when they are facing strong team. They just manage to beat Talon because they are ahead in skills individually which is why they are strong on laning phase. GG deserves it because they always have a flawless team fights. RIP to those who bet an outright bet for Team Liquid as wnner.
People are forgetting that GG is certainly a strong team, I've come to realize that just after they've won the Lima major. I've forgotten that they also dominated other tournaments when the DPC season started. You're right, that boxi's absence really is a big hit for their team. It will be an entirely different story if boxi was there. And talking about Talon, they're also a strong team but SEA teams still lacks a lot of experience unlike them. Anyway, gg to Team Liquid and congratulations to GG.

They are just enjoying the moment. You can see it in their faces. That is the best round of the finals. Team Liquid was able to make some good plays and at some point I thought they could bag that round even when the lead is so big.
Yeah, they're enjoying those last moments because it became 2-0 in favor of GG and they have already understood that they can't beat team without boxi. Still, great that jabbz was there to substitute for boxi as that's a time for Team Liquid that they need someone to replace him temporarily.
2069  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: March 06, 2023, 09:41:09 AM
Game 1 for the grand finals ended and it was taken by GG. I thought that Liquid will still be able to win that first match but it's noticeable that without boxi, they've got a different playstyle. In the first minutes of the game, it seems that Liquid is playing trash and is like the thrower of the game.
But then, it's just game 1 and there are few games left to see if they've learned from this match. Lina pick again that has lost against NP, they just like giving away lina and don't want to ban it.

Once GG has its hands on Lina, it is an automatic win for them. Team Liquid should ban Lina in the first round because Gaimin Gladiators will have the upper hand once they got a hold of her.

Nisha needs to step up too and force Quinn to make mistakes. Quinn is playing perfectly and has control over Nisha. This is more evident in game two where the map finished too early.

Maybe the result will be different if Boxi is playing but right now, Gaimin Gladiator is head and shoulder above team Liquid. Let's see if it will change in the 3rd map.

Even before, there have been people who have been making a living from gambling. So, anything that circles in the gambling industry, there are always those that earn from it. Not just all about being a gambler, an employee, an affiliate, sponsorships/partnerships, and anything that lies in this business there are people that are making money from it. Also even in those countries where it's said to be a ban and a taboo, it's possible that there are people that have been living through it.

2072  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: In the best interest of investors, Bounties shouldn't be paid in Tokens on: March 05, 2023, 08:38:43 PM
You're right because what's on the mind of the majority of bounty hunters is to dump the rewards in the form of their project's token. Everyone wants to take out their share as soon as possible and as soon as they've received it.
But on the side of these project developers, it's like a surplus to them and that's why they're paying through their tokens. It's like they're paying everyone out of thin air if ever their project becomes successful and if ever it's a failure, they've got nothing to lose but just a part of their supply.
I agree, they just get rid of project tokens that have no value in the short term. Some investors buy from bounty hunters for dirty cheap prices in order to dump on the market when an altcoin rally happens. Unfortunately, not all bounty hunters are patient enough to wait for the right time and then sell the bounty rewards at the highest possible market price. As a final result, bounty tokens are used to decrease the market value of project coins so it is somewhat lose-lose situation for both parties, IMO.
That's the usual thing to do because bounty hunters don't really expect a lot from these projects and they also want to take profit as much as possible. No matter how hard they try to keep it, they've got experiences that it's not a good thing to keep those tokens because they're bound to be dumped by the devs, early investors, and then bounty hunters. Even if they put a lock-in period for the bounty hunters, still, those tokens won't be going anywhere but to be dumped.

I like the line and painting in them, I'm used to them and I want to find the same only in cryptocurrency.
If it is the design you're looking for, I reckon the suggestion about using google lens and then searching each of them manually. Actually, I'm aware of betboom's existence thanks to their Dota 2-sponsored team. But despite that, I'm not a fan of their team but I do recognize how good the team and its players are. Btw OP, most of the designs are like where there's the left side panel down the list of games for most casinos if in case you're not aware of it.
2074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: March 04, 2023, 08:52:44 PM
I almost thought we'll be seeing a third game because that second game should've been a win for SR but Team Liquid was able to hold on and stop their power spike during the 20+ mins mark.

With SR knocked down to the lower bracket it looks like we could possibly see a matchup between them and EG if they can beat Team Aster tomorrow.


They really will be matching as Team Aster have been beaten by EG but we don't need to wait until tomorrow as the match will happen after the series of Talon and Team Spirit. If you want to bet for that match guys, my tip is that Shopify Rebellion has got the upper hand on this match. Why?
Because Evil Geniuses just came from a tough 3 matches against Team Aster and that has probably drained their minds already. Whilst for SR, this is their only match for this day. I wonder why the scheduling is like that but well, since it's in the lower bracket, all of the favors and toughness are in there.

i thought the match is for tomorrow lol.

I'd be going for -1.5 for Shopify Rebellion in here simply because they are well rested and had the chance to watch how EG plays and learn of some of the strategies they have used during their series with Team Aster. Favorites are SR right now but the -1.5 maps option is still juicy enough for the taking if you want some extra risks to take. I wouldn't call it SR win too early, but with the state of EG right now--drained and tired from the previous match--it's easier for me to favor SR. It will also add if Rtz gives us some more highlights during the day that favors their team to advance in the tournament.
That's okay, Shopify Rebellion just won that and within a few moments from now on they'll be up against Talon Esports and this is the battle for fourth place. I've watched the match between SR and EG and all I can say is that EG really did well in all of those games. And there's the advantage for Shopify Rebellion as you have said they've drained already because they've been with a series just a few hours before they start with SR. Despite that advantage from SR, EG showed that they are one of the best teams in SA and I can say not just there but, also in the entire world IMO. Right on, waiting for the start of Talon Esports and SR.

That problem depends on the organizer, I remember the Shanghai major where it's truly a disaster and there were players' belongings and money that have been robbed.
Well, needless to say, the major is already in the playoffs, and despite all of those issues that have been caught and come out it still proceeded.
Right now, in the lower bracket, cast now your bets with the match of Talon and HellRaisers.

I think disaster is an understatement for the current status of this major. To be honest, this has to be the worst major so far that Valve has prepared. Not only that they misorganized almost the processes, but the pause on the games which caused hours of delays, the casters and some cringe-y interaction with the crowds is just painful to look at.

I remember back in Shanghai major, some of the belongings were stolen. But in this Lima Major, sounds were an issue, lag problems, cables, etc.- it just a total disaster that is completely different from Valve standards.
Well, both have been terrible majors, and whether we compare them or not nothing will change the fact that these Lima major organizers are truly the worst. Valve should choose their organizers wisely since majors are the much-awaited tournaments for this year and these are like the qualifiers and gateway to the upcoming TI for this year.
Anyway, who has seen and watched the ending of Team Spirit and Talon? Talon has won the match and upon exiting of players and showing sportsmanship, Yatoro went directly outside through the crowd and didn't shake anyone's hand to any Talon players, for sure that he's frustrated with those die backs so it probably had caused him to avoid handshaking after the game.

You are not alone in your bitcoin regrets. A lot of us have missed the opportunity of buying it while it was still very cheap. We could have been millionaires today. But lets not dwell on it anymore as it won't be helpful for us to grow in the future. Like OP, don't be bothered anymore on what you have not bought in the past. Learn and invest in bitcoin, Im sure this will lead you to a lot of bigger opportunities once you succeeded from it.
I guess the majority of us have that regret related to bitcoin. Let's make it a lesson learned because we can't go back in time and we need to move on and keep on moving forward because that's how should our progress must be. And not only with bitcoin but with some altcoins too.
That will be a never ending thinking of that regret if we keep dwelling on that mistake in the past. We don't have a time machine to get back and hit the jackpot but we just have to bear with things right now.

I want to know the opinion of our community that which is the best option. Just do both trading and holding. You need to trade most of the bounty tokens/ coins 🪙 to exchange with the top altcoins bitcoin. And hold the potential altcoins to wait for the raise of their price. I do this way to gain more benefits from the values of the coins/tokens.
You already know what you must do so just keep that moving and be consistent and always get to have bitcoin. You might have some good potential altcoins to hold after dumping all of those bounty tokens or coins. But you should also be prioritizing having more bitcoin with those gains or before you buy another altcoin, don't settle for not having bitcoin for every purchase you make. Because that's the best strategy that someone can do and based on my experience, it is really the best thing to do.

Well, for me, Floyd Mayweather is not such an iconic boxer, I am sure that many know well who Pacquiao is before him, I cannot deny, he is a very intelligent boxer, he knows how to handle fights in a totally technical area very well, but sometimes Sometimes that is something that is boring, we as fans want to see more action, we want to see technique and we want to see what they are capable of, that they reach the limit, maybe things are getting more demanding for this type of boxer.
I know what you feel and that vibe is the same with many boxing fans. It's true that he's a living legend and he's got a good and clean record but he's not really an icon to many. I don't know maybe that feels about how he's interacting with fans and the charisma isn't just the same with other real icons that we can say like Pacquiao, Marquez, and other boxers that have been knowing for the past years. And it even made his reputation lower when he's doing some exhibition matches as it's intended to make money just as his alias.
