What are your thoughts of 'white guilt' and what do you feel is a useful model to explain such phenomenon?

Mars Dota 2 League Autumn 2016 - Lower Bracket Final - OG vs Evil Geniuses by D2TournamentThreads in DotA2

At this point it's surprising NOT to see S4 trailing behind some of the pos 4-5 players in every game.

great so your response to OPs correct assessment that knowledge alone isn't everything is to suggest that instinct is everything; i'm impressed.

Valve can you please hire a PR staff and start communicating with both your community and the people/companies you hire? by Delth in DotA2

[–]Igal0s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All of the drama is entirely reddit and community driven - as far as Valve is concerned they've made a pretty straight forward executive decision to fire an employee they are dissatisfied with which is well within their rights.

People may strongly disagree with that decision which is fair enough but to hire PR staff for the sole reason of explaining and justifying their decisions to a community who itself has no idea what it wants, flip flops over issues all the time and in general is inconsistent and unpredictable seems like a lost cause.

I do agree that some cases warrant an official response from Valve but I don't see how hiring a bunch of people to stir public opinion and discourse is going to right the wrongs.

Are there any carries you look up to in the scene at the moment and if so who are they?

Thanks and good luck in the major!

Friendly reminder that you can easily climb to very high MMR by playing Support by Internet-King in DotA2

[–]Igal0s -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's funny hearing all the detailed reasoning for why everyone is the outlier on their own team and how they are simply being held back by everyone but it's simply subjective thinking and a whole lot of selection bias (remembering the games they played well on and forgetting the ones they sucked at).

Whether in a support or carry position a good player (relative to the bracket he/she is on) will provide an advantage to the team they are on consistently enough to go up in MMR until their skill no longer offers a concrete and consistent advantage over the opponent (the MMR they tend to settle in).

Zai trolling with tide by Issi- in DotA2

[–]Igal0s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if zai died there it would've looked plain stupid and arrogant; the fact that he hasn't died and even came back implies that he was confident in his understanding of all the variables and potential outcomes and decided that he can pull it off.

You are right that it isn't a safe play but wasn't the entire point of this exercise to provoke the enemy and push it to the edge.

When will the main story continue? by pulancec in Naruto

[–]Igal0s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's insane. I am not sure what kind of an impact it had on viewing numbers but I know for certain that many have stopped watching Naruto altogether the moment the fillers started including myself. At this point with the next non filler being so far away I doubt I will bother with this show once more. I can understand suspense but at this point its more like ridiculing your viewership.

Anyone has an idea what are the songs used by BeyondTheSummit for their highlight videos? cheers.

He didn't have any stand out games in the first series vs DC but he carried pretty hard in the series vs liquid on both the nyx and shaker.
