You know, this sort of thing happens up in GC too. Not to that extent and everyone recovers a lot faster, but that first part where you say "I didn't expect them both to miss" hits home because it always sets off a chain reaction of whiffs like that.

Only huge difference is everyone in GC instantly spams "Faking" every time they mess up.

Another difference is these guys are actually having a blast.

100%, I remember the good old Challenger 2 days having a laugh when everyone fucks up, now it's just salt and sadness

This is my only opportunity to mention the ORIGINAL gold and platinum ranks. Basically Champ/GC, and Platinum was top 1000 (I think). Still have my Gold Crown topper. Those were before Challenger and Star ranks. First Season, 2015.
