Here are the patch notes for today that will go live on PBE with the deploy this afternoon. Big shoutout to the finalization team that put in the work yesterday to get you this build a day earlier so we have even more time to test.
Still more to do before Wednesday branch cut!
English
@Kal2Karthik @Anmolkakkar27 @chessdom Because it becomes impractical. Imagine 4 games left you are 2 points ahead of 2nd place. If you just force 4 draws the other guy has to win 4 in a row to even get a tiebreaker, which is very unlikely. At some point going for draws just to secure the event is better

@EzyNotFound @nsr_valorant PRX lost 2 grand finals in the past while coming from uppers, were the other teams not gassed?
English
@nsr_valorant If prx wasnt gased out from all those matches, and had some days to prep and rest. Santiago would have been lot harder. But still, it was a W loss less run. Well deserved
English
Never really been tapped into chess but full stop blaming ur prep team for missing a castle is crazy to me lmaooo
Endgame AI@EndgameaiChess
🇺🇸 Hikaru Nakamura after his loss to 🇺🇿 Javokhir Sindarov: “I can’t be mad at myself for this one.” Nakamura said the mistake came down to preparation: “This is 100% on the people who are working for me… my file didn’t have the move castles.” He added that castling was “such a human move” that when Sindarov played it, his reaction was: “What is this?” According to Hikaru, it felt almost impossible to work it out over the board without already knowing the idea.

@HereticsVal @ComeBackFPS Wtf did they even say?
English
@Mordecai_15TM @HansMokeNiemann 2nd point, you think Hans invented cheating...? Also, surely the guy who was never proven to be cheating OTB is the reason (not the people complaining about), we completly ignore all the people who got caught
English
@HansMokeNiemann Let me get this straight:
1. You cried about baseless accusations but you allied yourself with Kramnik, who did the exact same to Danya (YOUR OWN FRIEND) until his death
2. YOU are the literal reason these strict anti-cheat rules exist in the first place.
Self-awareness = 0 🤡
English
Historically, Hikaru Nakamura has made numerous public accusations against other players without consistently providing strong evidence or facing meaningful accountability. Now that stricter anti-cheating measures are being implemented, he appears to object to them. If he genuinely believes that over-the-board cheating is so difficult, it raises questions about why he made such serious allegations during events like the Sinquefield Cup.
Endgame AI@EndgameaiChess
🇺🇸 Hikaru Nakamura criticizes anti-cheating measures at the Candidates. Speaking live on Kick with Jon Ludvig Hammer and Fiona Steil-Antoni, Nakamura called the security protocols “nonsense,” arguing they’ve gone too far. Players are scanned before and after games, with strict controls and multiple checks in place. “At some point you have to ask… who are we? Mossad agents in Iran or what? We’re just chess players.” He added that he hasn’t raised it with FIDE, saying he doesn’t see the point, and believes concerns about cheating at such a tightly controlled event are being exaggerated.

@OjoDeMacorix @Mortdog Left and Right are switched only visually. Functionally, if you click on the left you'd get the unit that was supposed to be on the left. So if you see Fizz+1g Tahm Riven and you want riven, you click on the Fizz+1g. It's always supposed to be highest to lowest cost
English
@Mortdog Is this backward showing whats leading to me receiving the incorrect unit?
English
Just calling it out as two major known bugs this build
1) Minor offerings champs are displayed backwards, so it looks very incorrect. Just note that and you can play through it for now
2) Elder Dragon is showing up in sources as a 5 cost when he shouldn't be. Fixed tomorrow!
English
@JohnMcKay542940 @Mauisnake "isnt you calling out something posted publicly worse than him calling out something done in private?" bum ass take
English
@Mauisnake Isn't calling out Ohne in this way WORSE than what your claiming him of doing? Two wrongs don't make a right, and an eye for an eye leaves the world blind.
Your a grown ass man. Get the fook off social media and speak to the man ffs.
English
There's always been an unspoken rule when staying at hotels at events that you don't publicize the brief interactions you see among players on teams. If something is leaked feel free to comment on it, but it's simply uncouth to be the one spreading this info.
ohnePixel Updates@ohnePixelUpdate
ohnePixel leaks that Falcons players eat breakfast separate unlike NaVi and Vitality 🤔 "it was sad to see"
English
@Jaymartins_10 @FeeredBucks Keeping his fans engaged with what? He's not streaming. The pause would mean their prepaid subs resume once he comes back, instead he's just letting the timer run out because he wants the money
English
@FeeredBucks That’s honestly an impressive move.
For Kai Cenat, it seems like he chose to prioritize keeping his fans engaged over pausing his income.
Making $750,000 a month is insane, but what really stands out is that even at that scale, he stuck to his principles and didn’t hit pause.
English
@SonOfAristotle @unlimited_ls Yeah we all should expect idiots sitting at the edge of the road to jump in the middle of it for no reason /s
English
@unlimited_ls If you can't bring your motorcycle to a safe stop after seeing in broad daylight someone moving in front of you,
YOU'RE RIDING TOO FAST.
You only proved the neighbor's point.
English
🚨NEW: Video shows how the fight started between Alan Ritchson and his neighbor
The neighbor stepped directly in front of the bike, causing Ritchson to flip over the handlebars
The neighbor previously said he told the actor to “slow it down.”
"I did push him because he was coming towards me on his, on his bike."
"He did it again for a second time. I pushed him a second time, and I think the second time he got off his bike and kicked the crap outta me."

@T1KaoNashi @DongDongHua101 We forget 2024 msi when people were staying in their own lane, blg winning twice against t1 while bin was dogging zeus around? And at worlds it's just lane swap meta so we dont see them lane against eachother?
English
@DongDongHua101 We forget about Worlds 2024 because yes?
English
@guma_enjoyer @IWDominate Canyon was carrying all the way to winning worlds in his second year. Surely same will happen to skewmond right?
English
@IOnceHadAFace @IWDominate hah skewmond is a fucking rookie compared to canyon. Also he didnt have all of his lanes winning, most of them were even except bot lane which was a complete shellacking
English
I actually wonder why people are so fast to dismiss Xun. Skewmond is insane, but it feels like people are so quick to crown him best jungler in the world when Xun has been an absolute monster this tournament and outplayed him 2 days ago when BLG 3-0'd G2.
I wonder why its not at least a conversation as to who is better?
Alex ‘Nymaera’ Hapgood@Nymaera
Xun’s been relegated to being the “glue” guy, there for chemistry, when he’s also just a world class player.
English
@TheMothTyrant @Frosty_85 @G2STANS While I agree for g2. If we take 2 random teams of equal skill level and drop Inspired in one and Skewmond in the other, Inspired's will do better. Skew is very good at what he does for g2.
English
@Frosty_85 @G2STANS Nah, Inspired in G2 would 100% make G2 worse compared to Skewmond, G2 is built on team mentality and inspired does not have that. Mechanically, Skewmond is stronger than Inspired without having an ego that puts his team at a disadvantage if he doesn’t do as well as he’d like.
English
@guma_enjoyer @IWDominate Canyon was dragging corpses and 1v5ing to keep his team in game at worlds before GENG too. Skewmond also looked like hotgarbage when his lanes weren't winning.
English
@IWDominate Please stfu junglers with 50 winning lanes perma are not the best junglers ever. Canyon showcased us exactly why - once his laners are either even or losing, he is not existing.
English
@nobanfr @Carlos_ROcelote Funny that "Aegis found Skewmond" but then mention caps as if he didn't attend world finals with a different team before joining g2
English
Skewmond is an insane find really.
I'm proud of the staff and Alban for this. Big balls. I couldn't have done it better myself.
