Please tell me there's an actual story hereReynad getting caught paying hookers again?
We'll know more when twitch chat starts in on Reynad.I don't follow Hearthstone enough to understand why this matters. Was someone giving her xboxes?
I realize tied in with gambling - but for MD it was specifically the taxes on gambling winnings that caused the block - I'm sure Nevada doesn't care IF people gamble (duh) they just want to make sure they get their beak wet on it.Actually, it's a gambling thing, apparently. Since there is a prize pool and it's an online game, it's lumped in with gambling. Which is obviously ridiculous and a huge hindrance against professional e-sports becoming bigger and more mainstream. At the end of the day it's about money though, perhaps we'll have HS tournaments in the 5 states that don't allow it one day, but it'll be on Native American Reservations bahaha. Good ol' big government!

Hi, please allow me to share my personal experiences with this.
I have been friends with Amy for about a year. We met and quickly became very close, spending literally 10-16 hours on call together every day. Eventually, we started a long distance relationship, talking on the phone, kakao, etc. and I spent a fair amount of money on her as shown below:

It's about $5k in total when you include pizzas I ordered for her, all of the gold cards she has, etc.
I was on a team with Jab, and she was also on the team as a PR sort of role, whatever. Eventually she started hanging out with Jab more and more, telling him that we weren't together behind my back, getting him to play for her, and screwing him out of a few hundred dollars as referenced in Specialist's OP. She lied to me about purchasing a plane ticket to come live with me, and even showed me fake screenshots of a plane ticket with the destination cut off (I mean, really?). She ended up moving to New York instead, as proven by pictures on her Facebook and Kakao (since removed). It was at that point where I decided I didn't want anything to do with her anymore.
After that, she moved on to Tarei, who I believe is still playing on her account, and possibly played for her in ESL. It would explain why she keeps refusing tournament invites.
Despite all of this, I do not believe that she is two people, and I do not believe that she and William Blaney are still together, simply because of the sheer amount of time I have spent with her and the fact that her behavior/spelling/etc. remains consistent the entire time. I've spoken with her on Skype and on the phone, and I have no reason to believe that there is another individual involved.
TLDR: She is shady as fuck, she is a pathological liar, but she is not a guy. Thanks for your time.
Some nerds will do anything for a girl's attention. If they stopped letting themselves being walked all over, they wouldn't need to be walked all over just to be around a girl, know what I'm sayin? This reminds me of Ravven. Compelling soap Hearthstone continues.
Dude got hustled by one woman and two dudes.
Well, to be fair, a number of those weren't actually women...Women have been screwing over dudes like this since the dawn of the internet.
How many times did it happen in this forum community alone?
I averaged 3.4 wins over 25 arenas in January (my first season). Averaging 5.3 wins over 12 runs in February, so improving I think.Where did you get those stats? I'd love to see where my 4.5 average falls, and I thought that was low.
How about just telling men ( or women for that matter) to not be so desperate and pathetic and let themselves get walked all over? I love when people will assign blame to women for being the victims of something a man has done, but won't do the same to a man that has been a victim of something a woman has done. I don't know if that's exactly what you're saying, but that's what it sounds like. This guy was obviously a push over, was desperate, seemingly paranoid, likely pushy and clingy, and he got walked all over for it. Shouldn't we tell him to stop being such a little weakling? Obviously she is in the wrong, completely, but he set himself up for it. That's all I'm saying, let's just acknowledge that alongside the pitchforks. If you act desperate and pathetic, people are going to walk all over you, man or woman. Men do it to women with no self esteem and women do it to men with no self esteem, there is no gender divide here, except in how we perceive the two. Don't want to get walked all over? Don't get walked all over. Very simple. There's generosity and kindness, and then there's just stupidity and detrimental desperation. Some people are genuinely just kind and get fooled, like a few people did with Ravven (although some of them were just like this guy, desperate). Plus, let's not act like he didn't get anything from the exchange, he seems to have practically been paying her as if she was an emotional prostitute with the potential for some sexual prostitution as well. People don't just do things that don't benefit them in some way. He obviously desperately needed some feminine attention a lot more than he needed 5 grand. Although yes, she seems awful.Women have been screwing over dudes like this since the dawn of the internet.

IIRC (and it was a long time ago) the most common number of wins in Arena was only 1 or 2, and about half the games had 3 wins or less, which makes sense if you look at it from Blizzard's point of view and how much they charge for entry compared to just buying a pack of cards.Where did you get those stats? I'd love to see where my 4.5 average falls, and I thought that was low.
I started last month and was pretty easily able to hit rank 17-15 with pretty much basic decks. Now that my collection has a grown a bit, I've made a cheap hunter and a cheap warlock zoo deck and bounce between 10-12. I don't have a big enough collection to be able to have multiple quality decks in order to swap to changing meta conditions.So as someone who has been playing for a month or so, I think I've got a good handle on the cards/decks out there, though Im still pretty terrible. With regard to rankings, when do people become 'good' and not total shitters, and what ranking is when the meta becomes huge and I need to start deck swapping or card swapping and not just playing my preferred class?
