The New Kings of Luxol

Blue Lions are officially champions of the 18/19 Pentasia All-in League 1. After 10 victories, 1 draw, 2 losses and 1 game left to play, no one can reach them. On behalf of All-in Translations, Pentasia, league management, referees and Luxol Sports Club we send our congratulations. A massive performance in their first season, where they had to go through a tough qualifier just to earn their spot in League 1!

Last year’s winners GIG looks to have the 2nd place under control with 4 points clearance, but Leo Vegas has a fighting chance since GIG and Leo Vegas are playing each other in back to back games on 8th and 10th April.

In the other side of League 1 Bethard collapsed completely after team captain Bjørnar Heggernes was ruled out with an injury and the team is looking at relegation to League 2. Axl Affiliates who also won SiGMA Cup in November will take their place. Since we don’t yet know how many teams will sign up for the 2019/2020 season we don’t want to speculate too much in which teams play in which league, we will have to see. However it seems clear that Pentasia will be promoted from League 3 after an impressive season.

Teams can sign up at the super early bird rate by 15th April. Either in person at Luxol on 12th April or via email to roy@allintranslations.com.

We also hope to see as many of you as possible at the final event of the season next Friday. RSVP here.

PS: We are increasing our media coverage efforts for the next season. Apply now or let us know if you know anyone!

Uber Eats Banned as Divorce Rates Rise

novaramedia.com

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) have decided to ban Uber Eats in Portugal, Luxembourg, Spain, Denmark and Norway. Reason: Recent research from Eurostat indicates a clear link between Uber Eats and increasing divorce rates.

Uber Eats is a service that delivers food from various restaurants straight to your door. You use an app, punch in what you want to eat and drink, and then you can follow the delivery on a digital map. Its popularity has grown at tremendous rates and the disruptive concept is showing distinct consequences in other aspects of society.

In fact, the research published by Eurostat last week are so unmistakable that the ICJ see no other choice than to ban Uber Eats from the countries where the link is the most obvious. A 2 year ban has been issued initially, in order to monitor the development carefully before making a final decision in March 2021.

4 of the countries affected by the ban are on top of the global divorce statistics, namely Portugal, Luxembourg, Spain and Denmark. The divorce/marriage ratio here is as high as 71%.

The fifth country affected is Norway. The divorce rate there is “only” 42%, however the government has a history of interfering when international corporations try to enter the local market. Examples in recent years include KFC, Lidl and Uber. Norway was chosen as one of the countries where the ban would be put in place in order to get more diverse divorce data in the 2-year trial period.

It’s not the first time Uber Eats is in the news lately because of controversy. This article from The Guardian in September 2018 shows Uber Eats drivers in London blocking the streets to protest for a £5 minimum per delivery. The company has also been frequently criticized on the global scene for poor worker’s conditions.

The other side of the story shows recently divorced men around the world taking to the streets to protest against how the ban is making life difficult for them.

“After I left my wife I’ve become completely dependent on Uber Eats. What am I going to do now?” Juan Inamillion from Valencia in Spain asked the All-in blog.

“My wife was an amazing chef but I can’t cook for s***. What have they done!?” he continued.

Luckily other divorced men are finding good solutions, like Tony Middelfart from Funen in Denmark.

“I was doing some gardening when I suddenly felt my stomach rumbling. I looked down at my rake, one of the few things my wife left me with, and had this awesome idea for barbecuing 12 sausages at the same time” he said.

“All the local divorced men are gathering in my garden every Friday. Some bring ketchup and others bring sautéed onion. It’s like a multi-purpose support group”.

Now they are flocking behind a common cry to the ICJ:

“Give us Uber Eats back. If not bring our wives back!”.

Pocket queens.

Flop shows K, Q, J rainbow.

He bets, I go all-in. He calls and shows KTs for top pair and a straight draw. I have a 70% chance of winning.

I look at the dealer and say “Come on you can do it. No ace please”.

You all know what happened next.

It might not qualify as a bad beat but it’s painful none the less. Losing hands when you get it in as a favorite is a big part of poker. Out the 77 players (new record by far!) who played, only one of them was left with all of the chips in the end. That’s how tournament poker works. We don’t have the story of all the 76 losers but here are some of them.

PS: As it turned out, the winner Johannes Eriksson was not registered as a delegate. However he was not aware that it was a tournament for delegates only. We have all happily agreed that the 1st prize worth $800 (from Real Time Gaming) will be donated to an organisation that works to help the street children of Manila. All-in Translations is matching the 1st prize, making the total donation $1600.

14th place Anastasia Bauer. The player from the Hall of Fame closest to making another counting placement. Close but no cigar.

ASEAN Gaming Summit by Ros Wade and PokerStars Live Manila by Pierre have already confirmed that the 4th edition of this tournament will take place in March next year during the 2020 conference. All-in Translations is thrilled that we get to organise it once again. Can we get 100 players? I think yes.

Big thanks to ASEAN Gaming Summit, Real Time Gaming, Alderney eGambling and Contintent8.

Also found these bad beat videos that are too good to leave out.
