Back in 2013 I got to work with EG as a russian-speaking caster on their Dota projects by randomly dming Colin on reddit.
It was a cool and interesting time period both for myself and for esports as a whole.
EG wasn't its older self for many years but still sad to see it go.
Hosted a 4-people melee invitational at my Belgrade place, with a couple candian folks visiting and a local homie. It was such a good time!

Been playing White Knuckle last couple days and it tickles my melee player brain in such a funny way, replaying the first area after dying feels like going back to unclepunch to spam some techskill.
Yeah dude no shit, unfortunately, it seems like nothing can be done😔
It's crazy to me how the entire SF6 scene has been consistently mad about the bo3 format for _years_ at this point and yet in the end everyone just sighs and admits there's nothing you can do about it.
While Daigo Umehara isn’t dissatisfied with the current state of Street Fighter 6, he says the game’s “random” style makes it difficult to determine the best player in modern tournament settings. bit.ly/4oYEKuK

Explaining competitive HoMM 3 in Melee terms:
So you're in a match where you have to play through a randomized target test before you even reach the guy, and he does the same. If you miss a target your stock is gone, and if you're slower, the other guy gets all the pokeballs.
The time-honored tradition of checking out EVO top-8 bracket for SF6, wondering what happened, clicking back to see it was bo3 till top-8 and spending an hour being bothered by the fact.
Been doing this for years at this point.

I used to mock the eastern european gamer archetype thats inevitably pulled into playing certain videogames, but now that I'm pushing 40 I've played through TES series recently, currently finishing Gothic 2 and am unironically considering learning competitive HoMM3. Its over yall
Diagram illustrating gamecube controller potentiometer degradation issue (PODE / input drift) and how "heartbeat" shunt mod alleviates it so that you don't have to swap pots every couple months on your oem.
As the potentiometer wear increases (more unwanted charge / bigger drift), you'd have to reduce the resistance on shunts, which probably makes inputs a bit less precise as the voltage range gets compressed.
