'Here is a group of some nerds that are in our age demographic, that are going to
want to know about what we do and we can imagine that this off-brand, goofy
sponsorship of this tournament can really work in our favour. People could just
talk about it because we're sponsoring and grow it in there in that culture'
Goddamn Kenndy Space Center were just that smart. They were 100% correct.

As I said when this was originally announced - this is a group of people who
thought that was a cool and newsworthy sponsorship to get - how is that for
synergy?

They saw the Mercedes memes and wanted in.
[]Zephirial 12 points 7 hours ago
From the way it was written, it seemed that they wanted in months before the
Mercedes memes actually happened.
[]Some1_Else_Is_Here 3 points 5 hours ago
can we get an example for the said memes /r/outoftheloop
[]Neste Tuuletin Homo (also Sheever take my energy)Smarre 23 points 5 hours ago
The Mercedes meme was pretty amazing, it was mind boggling to see how fast it got
so incredebly popular here. You know else is fast? The new E400 Sedan. The E400
Sedan model arrives this year, boasting a 3.0L V6 biturbo engine producing 329 hp
and 354 lb-ft of torque the same powertrain that currently drives its E400 Coupe,
Cabriolet and 4MATIC Wagon cousins. Paired with the 9-G-TRONIC 9-Speed automatic
transmission and DYNAMIC SELECT, it promises a bracingly smooth way to experience
uncommon luxury.
Naturally, the 2018 E400 Sedan continues the tradition of E-Class brilliance.
Harmonizing advanced automotive intelligence with awe-inspiring interior design,
its first-class furnished cabin puts our advanced vehicle systems right at your
fingertips even as its world-class innovations continue to push the boundaries of
what's possible in the world of automotive intelligence. "Car-to-X" Communication
enables the E-Class to exchange information with similarly equipped vehicles
effectively allowing it to "see" around corners and through obstacles to detect
potential hazards. Driver Assistance Systems including Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC, Active Steering Assist and Active Lane Change Assist feature
intelligent cruise control: They help keep you between the lines, and can even help
you shift between them.
Inside, the E-Class cabin provides an environment of pure comfort and responsive
technology. Flowing lines and vibrant screens provide a striking visual display,
while touch controls, aromatherapy and tailored seats indulge all of your senses at
once. It's a vehicle that demands to be driven, and more than lives up to the
dream.
Look for the E400 4MATIC Sedan at your Mercedes-Benz dealership this winter, with
an MSRP of $58,900.
[]BACKTRACK IS BACK-y-y-y-[??] 10 points 5 hours ago
During the recent ESL One Hamburg tournament, the production team went a little
overboard with product placement from one of their sponsors, the car company
Mercedes-Benz. This, of course, prompted a massive wave of copypastas and
spectacular memes. Almost as spectacular as the new Mercedes E400 Sedan.
The most intelligent E-Class family of all time welcomes a powerful new member to
the dynasty. The E400 Sedan model arrives this year, boasting a 3.0L V6 biturbo
engine producing 329 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque the same powertrain that
currently drives its E400 Coupe, Cabriolet and 4MATIC Wagon cousins. Paired with
the 9-G-TRONIC 9-Speed automatic transmission and DYNAMIC SELECT, it promises a

So Thats what this whole thing was about, it was pretty hilarious. you know what

[]Giff Buffs ColdToadsavvy_eh[S] 164 points 18 hours ago
Yeah, he's talked about it before on What the Duck? podcasts and in interviews. He
did his undergrad work in psychology, and sort of fell into Dota professionally
instead. He's a smart dude who likes to play a dumber/goofball kind of guy.

Only a genius could come up with the stupid shit he comes up with.
[]sheever > cancurWolvenspud 3 points 10 hours ago
The way I see it, for people like him it's smarter to act stupid because being
smart, but dumb (if that makes sense) is the best way to enjoy life. Acting all
smart and serious ain't no fun.
SirActionSlacks is like the living example of that.
[]Morkador 72 points 18 hours ago
As someone pointed out in another thread, slacks know how to act to look goofy, and
stupid, be he got a degree, he's 5k, and I think that he's very hardworking when he
organize an event. Valve know this too, just look at his implication in ti6 .
[]sheeverSkorpazoid 40 points 15 hours ago
I don't even see him acting that stupid really. He's just loud and makes a lot of
daft jokes. So do lots of perfectly intelligent people. Not sure if it's some
stunted conception of maturity that people are instilled in childhood. Shut up, and
don't stand out to be an adult...
[]s0ny4ace 1 point 13 hours ago
yeah, sitting here thinking "NO WAY" ...daamn slacks is playing that goofball so
good

[]sheever ('s guard) me timbersshuipz94 9 points 7 hours ago
It's one of the best locations in the continental US for space launches. The nearer
the equator, the bigger boost you get while launching rockets due to the Earth's
rotation. It's also easier to launch eastward, and east of Florida is the Atlantic
Ocean which means easier recovery operations.
[]Emilbjorn 1 point 3 hours ago
Also, you want to launch at an eastward shore, because if stuff blows up, there
nobody underneath the flight path to get hurt by debris.
