i bought 3 this week and it's ****ing tight, highly recommend.

i don't watch comp gaming. i've watched some Overwatch but meh, doesn't do anything for me. would rather just play the game or watch a YouTuber with a personality.

Watch StarCraft though. It's epic. And I don't even watch eSports.

idk, i just think its more enjoyable to watch somebody fun and entertaining than somebody good at the game.

You're not watching the person, dingus. You're watching an epic game. Just watch this one thing and tell me it isn't fun.

I watch Hearthstone tournaments :X.. I'd prolly like SC a lot more if I knew wtf was going on. The APM in RTS games in honestly fucking insane.

Edit: OMG Artosis.. so annoying. He used to cast Hearthstone, not a fan.

[Ol’ Qwerty Bastard]

boys. ****ing hyped.

hi yah!

I used to watch a lot of pro fighting game tournaments. Not so much recently, since I have also fallen a bit out of playing the games myself.

Of actual sports, I only watch the occasional bit of tennis, and that's it. Oh and when I watch tennis, it's always the ladies

Even though I'm from a huge football nation (European football, of course), I hate it and never watch it. I can't name one single player on our national team.

still haven’t watched last night’s show but goddamn Mighty Mouse did it. one of the nicest guys in the business and while he’ll always be under appreciated because of his size and how much better he is than his competition, he’s one of my favourite fighters to watch. well deserved.

the card for this saturday is mad.



my picks, since you asked

Michael Bisping (c) vs. Georges St-Pierre

Bisping just isn't that convincing of a champion and I'm a huge GSP fan. whether it's a logical choice or just my picking favourites, I see GSP taking it, probably by decision.

Cody Garbrandt (c) vs. T.J. Dillashaw

K so I know Garbrandt beat a somewhat injury weakened Dominic Cruz, but he still beat him. actually, demolished him really. he's one of the brightest stars the UFC has atm, and I see him squeaking this one out. T.J. will definitely put a fight though. since he couldn't be Cruz, this is a really good opportunity for him to grab the belt.

Joanna Jędrzejczyk (c) vs. Rose Namajunas

gonna be honest, don't really care about this fight. Joanna is quite good and will continue chewing through her competition. Rose's record is 6-3, so i'm guessing we see a successful defence. not sure this match is even necessary, it wasn't really earned.

Stephen Thompson vs. Jorge Masvidal

Wonderboy is nuts, and I can't see myself picking him to lose any time soon. Masvidal is a capable opponent, but Thompson is so smart and methodical in his exchanges, there's no stopping him.

Johny Hendricks vs. Paulo Borrachinha

toughest fight to call on the night honestly. Hendricks has been on a really tough run, Paulo is 10-0 but only 2 of those fights have actually been with the UFC. i'm going to roll with Paulo i guess, would rather Hendricks win but he's just been so mediocre lately it might just be the end of his fighting career.
