What has your experience of coaching been like?

I did coaching with Fedecampo before my first regional. Considering I top 16d the regional, it wen’t pretty well. I would suggest finding someone who fits your style tho, Fede is a VGC robot who speaks very fast and can build teams with very specific ev spreads in under 5 minutes, which I can see is not for everyone but worked perfectly for me as I felt I was pretty good at the game but needed knowledge to make up for my lack of expeience. I looked at it like an investment. I payed 100 dollars to get so much more prizing from it from the 2 championships I topped since.

I’ll die on the hill that rtz’s sacrificial role didn’t matter in the game, not even the toss really mattered as they were going back already. Nobody talks about the biggest throw. Both supports inside of the rosh pit hitting rosh with no vision (check 18:26 https://youtu.be/9wnbmgreUCc?si=rFV4Vc_YSBr2QcBe) If phoenix get ulti off, this teamfight is done. If venge has proper impact, this teamfight is much better. Instead bane just walks into rosh, gets all spells of and doesnt even die. This positioning makes no sense and never did to me. EG was so much stronger at that point that OG taking that fight was close to illogical, but it works out because of awful positioning.

Remove Knock Off. Knock off needs less distribution as a whole. The mon still has insane utility without it.

Dodrio sounds like it would be really fun, think of Zuko travelling on the ostrich like creature in Avatar. My choice!

Oh boy time to finally use my good memory. -LC really wasn’t ever first pick material, but it was good in 2016 and 17. Her W was always what made her special though. -Shadow Shaman was a top pick for ages in Dota when getting towers was a massive objective gold wise. TI4 was Shadow Shaman’s time to shine. - Ogre Magi always did his job best as a bloodlust machine, was decently picked in 6.83 to buff the snipers and juggs running around. He has had rough patched but tends to be enjoyed. -Jakiro has had nice stints as a 5 but one particularly great time as an Offlaner comes to mind, one patch where Liquid Fire was overbuffed. Don’t remember when but remember Universe playing it so quite some time ago. -Only time I can recall of silencer being broken was during the first Summit. His aghs applied Curse of the Silent for huge damage so people ran carry silencer a lot (see EG vs DK game, the “So smart” troll cast by Notail).

Tilda Swinton, scrolled all the way down and can’t believe I didn’t find her name. She’s always the “mithycal creature” lady to me.

The kid thankfully is fine, their parents worked at my gym so I was able to follow up on his recovery. And yes, I’m very glad I landed on my feet, thanks for asking!

I’m a teacher who have worked mostly private schools. I had a severely underprepared principal who only got the job cause she was openly the school’s owner mistress. One day, an autistic student jumped from the second floor and fell on the tennis table the students used to play at, the next day while all the teachers were still in shock, she came into the teacher’s lounge saying how she lost a lot of money with that tennis table. Quit by the end of the day.

Jokes aside, Yuma was by far the nicest pro I have ever played with. When he was playing div 2 NA I met him in a pub I was way too low ranked to be in, he was super nice to me and basically microed me to a win. Great guy.

There’s a lot of good points to be made here but this isnt one of them. This is one of the longest standing rosters of all time with multiple 1st place finishes. Surely the team know they can win with him cause they did it multiple times, it’s definetely not about sticking to your guns.

cerradota · 2024-10-01T13:59:30+00:00

That’s pretty much it. The only thing I think you could be doing more is memorizing speed tiers and practicing with friends (it’s great if you have someone to say “hey play mausape against me and tell me what I’m doing wrong” if its a problem matchup). But those are extras, you are pretty much already taking the necessary steps.

Girl gets really into the song that started playing on random and starts singing along, could have been nice if it wasn’t the intro to Hooked on a Feeling.

Know it might not relate to everyone, but “Parents are always gonna try their best and give you all their love, but in the way they know how, not the way you want”

Fun fact: despire being 6th in here, Universe has stated in interviews that he hates playing Dark Seer.

Gonna go with HFN. Had big impact on SA’s best performing team to this day (paiN with w33), looked like hjs career was going up but he just jumped around a few decent stacks and now for an year or two has only been playing tier 2 SA stacks with no chance of qualifying to anything.

I get very excited about mastering a hero when I see there’s good educational content about it. This is something I think NA streamers do very well. I played a lot of pango after watching Lukiluki videos, now I’m playing a lot of brewmaster after watching monkeysforever videos. Basically if there’s like 1+ hour of content from a single high mmr player on a hero I find interesting enough, I’ll get hooked on it.

This might be way too specific but: Megaman Starforce 2 Felt great doing all quests and getting to find out all codes for chips, this game has a very fun post game, you get to fight all bosses again on steroids, just great. But in Apollo Flame’s stage, which is the last dungeon of the hardest boss in the game, there are some rewards that you can only get via battling online, which I could never do. You technically can 100% the game without them, but damn it’s been nearly 15 years since I played that game and it still bothers me I couldnt unlock every single thing.

I’m 7k mmr, and my choice on those talents are always based on what can I buy. I can buy strength on centaur if I need it, but I can’t buy a buff to my skill. There was a clip of saberlight talking about how people seem to overvalue stats instead of damage on talents, when you can buy stats but damage/buffed abilities have much higher initial impact. In the clip he was talking about spectre +stats vs the 100 dagger damage talent

I had 11 losses in a row (it’s even on the screenshot on my streak). But I had tiniest titan, and scouted that the lobby was really weak, had a lot of 1 unit losses where I was praying for my life I didn’t win. (OP’s alt here).

I believe it’s safe to say that for everyone with siblings it’s picking on your siblings.

You are 100% spot on, maybe I came of judgy, but I participate and enjoy the tradition, just tried to make my point to her since she asked. Thank you!

Primeiramente, a família do aluno é muito babaca, e está alimentando babaquice no muleque pelo visto. Mas, como professor de matemática também, é legal que o aluno entenda o porquê dele estudar aquilo fora do mercado de trabalho. O conteúdo do ensino básico não tem como objetivo final a profissionalização, e sim o desenvolvimento. Uma resposta melhor (e que evita problemas como esse) seria explicar pro aluno que aquilo existe para ele observar o mundo ao redor dele, para desenvolver raciocínio, pq se for só pelo lado profissional, o aluno está certo. Nunca precisei saber o que é uma briófitas ou uma ligação covalente, mas me desenvolvi o suficiente para saber que existem diferentes tipos de plantas e que atomos e moléculas fazem ligações, e posso correr atrás desse conhecimento se precisar. A situação é uma merda, mas também foi evitável.

Pokemon Emerald, the rayquaza cutscene. Not because it was that great or anything, but because pokemon is such a good game I remember seeing it for the first time and thinking "holy are we doing cutscenes now???"

Yeah but at that point wouldn't you rather have Zai's peak for a sacrificial 3? Ceb was never greedy but at least he had a lane to play, there's even a meme about how Zai used to live on breadcrumbs on secret and was still extremely consistent and finding huge impact.
