can u guys hurry the fuck up? be more like shiloh - not like any of u ever prep for rby anyways.

if u cant just dc lnumbers cuz he seems to hold up any round OR award the win to whoever ensures that 18 pts doesn't make it so we don't lose another week to a 5 man tiebreak....


just checked and my God this cudve been done on Saturday since apparently everyone here played rbypl then anyways (even at almost the same time ffs - all posted in a 2 hour timeframe). pathetic.

thanks a ton to Mako bc we've played hundreds of rby games going back 2 years, if not thousands. you had a ton of great ideas, and whenever i need an rby game i knew i could ask you. hope u sign up for spl again, bc ur gonna kill it. Amaranth for being my rby daddy, basically taught me the tier and will always give advice whenever i pm him, def wouldnt have picked up the tier if not for him. fuck etern.

def never saw myself here when i picked up the tier in wcop 2019, this tiers a ton of fun even if it can be infuriating at times.

grats shiloh, ggs

wanted to thank everyone who helped me learn rby in the past weeks, you guys know who you are. Even though you don't wanna take the credit, I wouldn't have been able to get this far without you, so truly thanks for everything! I only started playing rby for this cup and never would have imagined liking the tier as much as I do now. It can be tilting at times, but that's just the game in general. I do think there's more to rby than people make it seem like most of the time. You can get far by just using solid teams and playing accurately. Anyway, I've already set my goals and I will keep pushing forward in the following weeks to get to where I want in this tier.
