🎭 Drama

• Apparently CLASIA was a bit of a buzzkill for EG.CD…
• Astralis were a tiny bit naughty and convened with HUNDEN to talk strats. It may not be forbidden, but it’s at least morally questionable.
• We love it when Carlos roasts himself. We love it even more when he roasts others by roasting himself.

🚀 Taking the game to another level

• Dosia and AdreN aren’t scared of defusing a bomb, even in real life.
• Imagine having to ask your teammate if they’re playing from a grocery store…
• The hardest level for any gamer: social interactions. Our tips are: be cool, be nice, and don’t - under any circumstances - tell her about your skin collection. Unless she asks about it. In that case, put a ring on it.
• If anything, don’t worry: even the biggest gamer out there - karrigan - got married eventually.
• And now boombl4 isn’t the only NAVI player with a mixtape. We’re pumping s1mple into our ears for all future DM sessions, it’s official.

🛠️⚠️ Updates and repairs

• You can’t have missed the rank recalibration update. Is this the Great Reset everyone’s been talking about?
• If you can’t figure out why Valve updated the ranks, here’s some rank distributions to help you along.
• ESIC tried fixing some of the slightly unfair coaching bans, but Valve won’t budge.
• Speaking of fixes: Valve could use Statman NER0’s work to figure out which positions on which maps might need a rework. Or it could just be an interesting read.
