    I'm fine with the 13th, but I'd like to have a strategy meeting with the allies and communards (if they're willing to continue their land war in asia that is) beforehand.
    Something with we can still do this, but its gon be extreemly hard though...

    Surrendering is not that hard, the French are in fact experts at it.

  2. Hi friends, I am Hungry.

  6. Sweet, an opportunity for me to be a snarky, condescending prick. Lets go bois.

     

    Nice "I'm too lazy to use Google" thread you have here.

     

     

    - What are these things: LCS, ECS, OW, 4-pool stand?

     

    LCS refers to the League of Legends Championship and it's subsidiary regional tournaments.

     

    WCS - The actual World Championship competition that runs on a yearly basis, usually in October/November, that every team in every qualifier wants to win to make their parents proud of them for their career choice.

     

    IEM - The IntelTM ExtremeTM MastersTM competition, also run yearly on the opposite end of the year. Sponsored by IntelTM*. Essentially a mini version of the WCS.

     

    All Star Tournaments - The unwashed masses vote for the best player in each region (Top Laner, Jungle, Mid, Support and ADC) which then form a team and plays against teams of other regions. A good salt mine when a popular player/region that's expected to win gets horribly smashed by the competition. See also, US Presidential Election 2016.

     

    EULCS - European Qualifiers

     

    NALCS - American Qualifiers

     

    LPL - Chinese Qualifiers

     

    LCK - Korean Qualifiers

     

    LMS - Taiwain/Hong Kong you get the fucking point. There's a bunch more regional tournaments but fuck that I can't be bothered.

     

    http://www.lolesports.com/en_US/

    ------------------------------------------

     

    ECS - It's the CS:GO Esport tournament. Much easier to keep track off because it only has an EU and an NA bracket.

     

    https://www.csgoleague.com/schedule/

    ------------------------------------------

     

    WCS - Starcraft 2 World Championship Series, see they made the acronym the same as that of League of Legends in order to confuse people who were looking for the League Championship, and maybe to steal some clueless viewers.

     

    http://wcs.battle.net/sc2/en

    ------------------------------------------

     

    OW I would guess refers to Overwatch, the hot new piece of sweet ass that Blizzard released and is pushing into the Esports center because Starcraft 2 is bleeding players and they want to compete with Riot Games for that sweet Esports advertisment cash.

     

    https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/

    ------------------------------------------

     

    I don't fucking know what this is, all I can think of is that "4-pool" is the technical term for "Zerg Rush" amongst people who actually know game mechanics.

     

     

    - Is there something about eSports that connects these games? League of Legends, Counter Strike GO, DOTA 2, Starcraft 2, Call of Duty, Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone and World of Tanks
     

     

    One thing that connects most of these games you've mentioned is Map Control and Map Awareness.

     

    Map Awareness includes things such as knowing when neutral mobs spawn, knowing and communicating cooldowns on enemy skills (LoL, DOTA, HOTS), approximating your opponents locations when they're not in vision range based on previosly gathered information, bomb control and site rotations (CS:GO), terrain knowledge, scouting, recognizing and countering build orders (Starcraft).

     

    Map Control is putting your map awareness to use in order to gank enemy players, secure objectives, trade kills, steal buffs and deny the enemy gold/resources. Essentially making the map a safe place for you and your team while making it hell for the other.

     

    You can have Map Awareness without Map Control, but not Vice Versa.

     

    A player's skill is measured in how they can piece together information they gather and how they then react, and how quickly and efficiently they act on that information.

     

    Its%20a%20thing_zpsdqhbzjpb.png

    "The red Enemy Player is hiding behind these boxes, and he shot at me, the Blue Friendly Player as I passed the container and went into the corridor. He must be anticipating that I rush him from the boxes, but I know that he's the last enemy left on their team, and I know that this corridor exits just behind him. If I throw a smoke grenade into the box area he'll be anticipating me to come through there, while I'll sneak around the corridor and shoot him in the back."

     

    Hearthstone is a bit of a special case in the Esports zone because it's a card game. Yes, skill factors in to your ability to play the game, but sometimes even if you play your hand to the best of your ability you will get screwed over by what cards you draw. If you don't draw the right cards at the right time you get fucked, it's as simple as that.

     

     

    - Maybe something like a small introduction or resume about that topic in general
    Esports is just like normal sports, except they play video games instead of football. Or handegg. Or ice hockey. You get to watch a group of really good players smack another team of (usually) equally good players around for a bit until one of them win. Players that have a fundamental understanding of the game mechanics and can take that understanding and put it into practice. Usually both teams are equally good at this, and the real intense moments come from the teams trying to bamboozle each other with false information and taking advantage of even the slightest of missteps, something that your average video gamer wouldn't be able to do.
     
    It's the same hype factor basketball fans get when they see Michael Jordan dribble the ball past every defender and then procced to slam dunk that ball like the hoop was a bucket of KFCTM* chicken wings.

    No, don't give your two cents. Your two cents are shit. Get the fuck out of here you poser.
