@Yodi

You have now beat the elusive Vice. The one team you did not beat during the season. You are now only 2 more wins away from making the championship finals. Vice is saying all the pressure is on you being on a winning streak. Do you feel like all of the pressure is on you? Or do you think this win just shifted the pressure onto the Vice?

@Tiziani this looked like it was going to be the same kind of comeback you had against Taurus Mars. In the end The Crime's hot streak was just a little better. Do you still feel like the pressure is on the Crime? Or has it now shifted to you being down a game in this series?

Welp.. thank you for almost giving me a heart attack with your commentary just now.

I had faith in my picks this whole time 😅 and TT should be prepping himself to hand over that title to the Crabs

the backlash has begun. Roma fans calling me arrogant for saying small clubs do not care about fans and backing the ESL lol

lol Im not surprised. I do get that sport fans, and especially soccer fans are opposed to change, but it's hard for me to understand how this is bad for anyone other than the national leagues. And I even have a hard time believing that is so bad. Because then smaller clubs could actually make more money I would think with bigger clubs out of the way

Or even better smaller clubs could start caring about being an actual sports club again.

The hilarious thing for me is it's always the armchair fans (of which Im one myself for the most part but I actually go to Italy and go see clubs and games) who take the righteous view "this is a soulless idea! like without a Rome derby on my TV screen? no way"

ok cool but explain to me why lower league clubs are refusing to share matchday gate receipts with the visiting team nowadays? why are smaller clubs all pushing for their fans to stay at home instead of going to away games? maybe because Eleven Sports just cut a deal to televise Serie C? It's just clubs thinking "great now we don't have to worry about the pesky matchday costs of being actual promoters anymore, no no we'll just keep them at home. And the tv network can take care of everything else."

tv money has already long since killed the sport for anything other than the biggest clubs.

I guess I never looked at it that way, but yeah thats a great point

For me, I just like parity

So any sport that can bring in parity. I'll probably watch tbh lol

This would help with that in every way

In other news

Blackhawks fired their coach of 10 years

The 2nd winningest coach

A coach who brought them 3 stanley cups

All because the owners/gm couldnt put together a good team the last few years

I guess they did need a fall guy because they do look rough as seen in DXPIL

But it would be funny if the Blues hired him

Just to stick it to the Blackhawks

It definitely wasn't pretty, in the DXPIL games I saw.

Always a shame when the club takes the easy way out by firing a coach.

But after ten years you never know if some personal stuff just got stale and started getting in the way.

I guess the merit of the decision also will be judged on whether there's a better coach out there for the Blackhawks right now (which I don't know about).

I dont think they'll find a suitable replacement this season. Maybe in the offseason

Well I guess not every sport can have the parity of DXPIL 💪

Tho Tiz is trying to blaze the path to becoming the Juventus of DXPIL

I’m trying to be the Vegas Golden Knights...except actually win the finals lol

Yeah I was thinking the same thing lol

Besides the first season of DXPIL obviously, has a team won it in their first year? Idk how often the teams change and stuff. That’s only 3 seasons they could’ve lol

click to expand

I guess the Vice technically won on the first season. Tho it wasnt Tiz's first season obviously

The only rookies to make and win the championship were Ram416 and PhoenixRising who won in their first season with Gentle Scorp in Ur-Anus during season 3

Other than them no other rookie player has made a championship. Other than the first year obviously.

Tho both u and Yodi can make it and/or win it as rookies

Well DXPIL history shows that not knowing sports tends to help more tbh

Intuition actually does seem to prevail over sports knowledge more times than not

Maybe knowing sports causes to overthink idk

Well there is a lot of different approaches to answering in dxpil imo. So idk if there has been 1 set strategy that has worked consistently.

I was mostly just making a joke...ya buzzkill. jk lol

But yeah the questions are usually such close matchups on paper that knowing sports would only make a minimal improvement at best. In the end it’s really luck or intuition
