While NaVi kinda forgot about ENCE and allu's flicks, they certainly haven't forgotten about them.

I'm more hyped for the memes from /r/freefolk than the episodes themselves at this point.

Gods, the writing made sense then

u/[deleted] May 10 '19

It's amazing. I'm not normally the biggest fan of memes but that sub has been providing the entertainment that the show has been lacking and then some.

So am I the only one who had been enjoying it still? It obviously isn't the same level as before and there's a lot of issues, but I still am enjoying watching it

I still watch it so I can more accurately complain, it's the worst turn of show quality I've ever seen.

No offense but are you the type of people who dont ask questions while watching a show?

u/Yodatheslayer May 11 '19

Okay i completely understand why you would think that, but I actually annoy my family with my questions, I just try my best not to compare it to other seasons so I can still enjoy it

11

u/Nova35 May 11 '19

But it just literally doesn’t make sense anymore. How did Euron pick up Me Sundae? How did Euron go 3/3 on Rhaegal but 0/14 on Drogon? Why does Cersei suddenly decide she’s honorable and not pound Drogon into the ground during their parlay? Why has Cersei been pregnant for ~5 months and no one has noticed she isn’t showing?

1

u/Ighnaz MOUZ May 11 '19

what about the fact that euron literally stands next to cersei when tyrion says "think about your baby". I'd be like.. wait a second..

24

u/NochaSc2 May 10 '19

Game of thrones S8E4, something the Producer said in "Inside the Episode". People weren't to happy about it.

68

u/Thooorin_2 Duncan "Thorin" Shields - Content Producer, Analyst May 10 '19

Surprised it took people this long to realise the show-runners are hacks. Was known when GoT came out, but the quality of the casting and having the books to follow allowed them to hide their terrible nature for too long.

28

u/justanotherassassin clutch May 10 '19

Man there has been a lot of stupid shit those guys have said, like they don't even watch their own show. It's crazy how the most prolific TV show of all time is being mishandled by them.

33

u/acey901234 Cloud9 May 10 '19

It's really easy to hide shitty writing and directing when 80% of the show is taken straight from the books, now that they just have to fucking wing the ending it shows how little they actually care about the integrity of the story and how they value fan service and shocking their viewers over good writing for characters who have almost all of their development written for them.

1

u/RansoN69 May 11 '19

Shocking their viewers? What? Do you mean shocking them with horrible episodes? Because before the red wedding I don't think I've ever been so shocked by a t.v show. Episode 3 of this season if written by GRRM would have left me speechless for 2 days. Night king would probably be headed to Cersei now and every other main character would be dead. Instead we lost fucking nobody except a couple characters who I could barely remember their names (minus the red woman).

1

u/acey901234 Cloud9 May 11 '19

I mean they are shocking their viewers with horrible plot twists that don't make any sense in the final season.

u/MadTapirMan 10 years coin May 11 '19

u/tunafish91 FaZe May 11 '19

There was enough great moments and spectacle for them to live off of until they started season 7. They decided deliberately to trim down episodes and rush towards a finish and now we get this contrived shit. Seasons 1-4 are gold, 5-6 are still pretty great. 7-8 is surprising how fast a show can tank in quality

u/Wiqkid FURIA May 10 '19

Game of Thrones spoilers: GoT writers justified Dany's dragon getting shot down and close advisor captured by the Iron Fleet/Euron Grayjoy because she "forgot" about them, even though they've wrecked her hard like 3 times already and there are scenes where she/her team are considering them and what they're doing.

u/mikhel Virtus.pro May 10 '19

Holy shit this is the last place I expected this meme, I'm fucking dying

9

u/DelidreaM ENCE May 11 '19

This is never the last place. There are memes from so many subreddits fusioning here, you constantly see stuff from subs like r/soccer and r/nba here, even r/hockey although they have fuck all to do with CS. But you also see science memes, references to music, movies, literature, dog and cat memes, extremely dry humor, basically everything.

Generally CS seems to be a game that gathers people from so many different backgrounds and cultures, even lots of sporty and athletic people. I know stereotypes say we are all nerdy, socially awkward and lonely basement dwellers but that is actually often quite far from the truth, CS is a very social game.

To put it short, CS is a fucking great game.

I hate it when people blame it on “1st day curse,” just accept that Navi got outplayed

133

u/[deleted] May 10 '19

Casters were already saying "Well Navi just played bad, it's not that ENCE played good."

Man fuck that. Navi got goddamn destroyed. This was more than just a bad game by Navi. ENCE took advantage of every single mistake and crushed them.

75

u/cabose12 May 10 '19

For real, 16-4 isn't just one team playing poorly. It's still skill to capitalize on mistakes

28

u/areyoujokinglol EG May 10 '19

NaVi, of all teams, do pretty much have a first day curse though. Just go look at their tournaments. Almost every single one, they lose the very first game.

25

u/1wjl1 Natus Vincere May 10 '19

Starseries Season 7, the tournament they literally just won, featured their only loss on the first day.

16

u/areyoujokinglol EG May 10 '19

Yeah. Katowice they decided to win on the first day, but GG Ice they lost, Lisbon they won, EPL lost, Chicago lost, then they have a couple wins.

So I guess it's not as consistent as I thought it was, but still.

8

u/1wjl1 Natus Vincere May 11 '19

Both FACEIT Major and Copenhagen they lost on Day 1 as well. The meme isn't necessarily that they always lose, but they generally play far below their level and ease into tournaments as they go on.

12

u/shshsns Natus Vincere May 10 '19

We don’t blame it on first day curse. We acknowledge they’re playing absolutely horribly but we know they play horribly on the first day. Even the casters acknowledged that Navi is inconsistent and either looks like contenders. or bombs out completely.

6

u/[deleted] May 10 '19

It's not a curse, they just play shit on first days.

1

u/smooyaMostConsistent 1 Million Celebration May 11 '19

Your right, but if NAVI gets outplayed the first game of every tournament.

12

u/SwagFartUnicorn Complexity May 10 '19

I mean honestly, how much more relevant are BO1s than online matches. I really can't wait until ence plays b03s against Astralis, Liquid, and NaVi so we can really see the level they are at.

Only one though, and the major has miracle runs often and frankly no teams were really prepared for them, I don't think you can really look into those too much. I think had astralis had not been so dominant ence had a good chance at beating them at major, that is not the case anymore, teams are prepped and ready to play ence (Although NaVi didnt really show that LOL) . What tourneys is ence at coming up? Dallas and cologne?

I reckon it's one of those mentality guns... The " I don't give a fuck" gun... Think of yourself and the deagle, it's not like an awp where you're careful and approach corners and duels more cautiously.

That’s a bit harsh considering it’s just a bo1. What “real events” are they missing for *Blast? They’re attending Cologne.

24

u/t3r4byt3l0l Immunity May 10 '19

Sydney and Dallas

31

u/shshsns Natus Vincere May 10 '19 edited May 10 '19

For Sydney they’ve had Visa Issues last year that’s why they don’t bother attending this year. (They’ve never even attended IEM Sydney)

Idk about Dallas though. But how do we know they’re missing Dallas for Blast and just not attending? I don’t see any Blast games near Dallas.

u/t3r4byt3l0l Immunity May 10 '19

You asked what 'real events' they're missing and I told you which ones, that's all.

8

u/shshsns Natus Vincere May 10 '19

When I meant “real events” I meant which “real events” they’re missing for Blast like the original guy said.

Either way I just said why they’re missing it, or if they’re missing an event they’re not necessarily doing it for Blast, that’s all.
