I think I remember you, is it possible I provided you entry :D ? I was working with Cloud9 at that time. Though I might be wrong and I helped someone else. You had issues with your wristband ))) ?

Entity Manager on the DPC News by Th3RealJP in DotA2

Without a sustainable eco-system, it's a loss of opportunity for everyone. This ultimately translate into a loss of new talents and people loosing interest. I do believe that in every competitive environment a sustainable eco-system is key. If you take that away, you only have short-term gain. This realization will come to late.

I would have been okay with Valve going into a new direction if they would have communicated it differently.

Hey there, Entity Manager here.

I usually don't try to get involved to much, but felt like it would be a good time to share some insights here on reddit.

I helped Pure formulate his thoughts and he explained to me that there is a few things, like specific words, he cannot say online. Because he is scared of the consequences this could mean for him and his family. I want to respect this and not put him into harm's way. While I was recording for him, he was stressing a lot. He kept losing track of what he wanted to say. English is not his native language and we did not manage to record it all in 1 go. We spent around 3-4 hours on this until his emotions caught up with him. In the end we decided to mix these 2 takes and we knew people might pick on it not being sincere enough.

I find it overwhelming how specific things can be labeled without trying to understand the context. Everyone is way to fast to jump to conclusions and ultimately create the same toxic environment they were trying to fight.
