The Fink Effect

When playing a competitive sport, more likely then not, there is usually a star that carries the team to victory. Usually, that is called the star player of the team, or MVP. The Fink Effect is when the MVP helps the team overcome defeat all by himself.

So, When a team is losing a game without their star player, but then the star player comes in and makes the difference for the team to overcome and win, that is called The Fink Effect.

It doesn't have to be the MVP or star player that constitutes it as the Fink Effect. For a team to make a comeback from losing, because of only one player, that is called The Fink Effect. Thus, as long as one person makes the difference, then the Fink Effect is taking place.

That uncanny event in which your computer no longer is experiencing issues at the exact moment it is brought to IT, making you look both stupid and intentionally disrespectful of the IT representative's time. Don't be a Patterson.

The Devin Effect

The Devin Effect is a term used in the League of Legends community given to a specific circumstance in which a game can be lost due to a disproportional amount of kills given to one player. Although a team can technically be ahead in kills, if the majority of the kills have been given to one specific champion, they will ultimately lose the game for the rest of the team due to the lack of spreading of gold, kills, assists, and resources. If said champion were to die during a team fight, the rest of the team would stand no chance against the opposing team.
Devin got all the kills during the first half of the game, so the rest of us were left at level 12 without upgraded boots and I began to reverse snowball. We lost the game because of the Devin Effect.
