Romania lol
I`m not even pissed, the bad mentality is on your side, not on my. So, what show-match is tomorrow?
Joke is about Romanians not understanding jokes-pretending-to-be-legit-statements. This one is perfect example of this. Trade may have happened but it won't last longer than 2 weeks AFAIK.

Check this out, Tier 8. People have been asking why this didn't follow through for months now. I guess everybody was just way too busy. And the waiting was worth it, they've organized the show so brilliantly. Clap-clap-clap!
I don't get the joke. Why would anyone joke about this? I thought it was a real trade and the comments from the team owners in a joking manner. I mean, the idea of a trade isn't so absurd, is it?
What a horrible, horrible advertisement or whatever it is.

Makes me want to politely ask you to have intercourse with yourselves - which I will not ask you to do, because it is unpolite.

Yeah, the usual joke is that Romanians don't understand sarcasm or are socially awkward. An example of something like this happening to someone who is not Romanian would be this:
Here, I'll explain:
JP Asks Incontrol in a sarcastic tone to explain the bunker change because of how trivial the change was -- or at least it FELT that way to the group. The important part is that sarcasm was intended.
Incontrol then begins to explain all these fake reasons and hypotheticals. These are meant to be jokes
Gretorp, who was oblivious to the entire sarcastic tone of the conversation between JP and Incontrol, chimes in and begins to interject logic and reason, which, by themselves are right and rational and all. However, in this case, he went full ROMANIAN. He was not aware of the sarcasm going on and he misinterpreted a situation.

Well, it can be that you are right, but have you met any Romanian in real life? I thing the part when we are socially awkward not getting sarcasm are not true. It can be that the people in some forums or so which are from ro act like this, for me personally this is the first time i hear that anti-sarcasm and s-awkwardness is associated with Romanians. But the whole thing was that.. there were tons of replies to the players exchange, and i got the Romanian lol reply from one dude, for the post, " i guess is troll but if it is not then x" i see no "non sarcasm recognition ability or social awkwardness" in my post, and being labeled was somehow strange. Especially because i did not know about the pizza stuff/tier 8.
Somehow i felt that his comment just did not fit as a reply to my post. Anyhow, maybe i just "don`t get it". Going to sleep now. nn
eh, i wasn't sure if it was a joke or not because i don't know what the hell pizza.gg is, and even though the facetious nature of the OP didn't elude me, i figured they could have written a satirical article about it even if the trade was real. i just waited to scroll down and read people's replies, and then it was obviously a joke. but i can see how people might not get it, especially non-native speakers
the best part is definitely people trolling by pretending to be trolled

The Pizza.gg stuff was only for US citizens, so everyone not from the US probably didn't really care.
