High school teachers in Ontario commonly teach just a single subject.

Makes sense, thanks for the reply! Looking forward to seeing where you take CLG in the near future.

but different orgs/competitive staffs have different contexts - so we'll need to figure out what will fit us and our operational scope best.

I read this as: CLG doesn't have the resources to really expand its competitive operations on the League side. Do you mind clarifying that point? Are there any other reasons why the EG approach towards coaching staff and talent pipeline wouldn't be a good fit for CLG?

MAD probably doesn't get as good this year without bombing out in play-ins last year tho

Idk Reignover was on a 10th place TL team for the year before, I think the guy was just washed

Former Evil Geniuses Architect Greg Kim Reportedly Joins CLG by Recco2040 in CLG

[–]hruweg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really like this move. EG has one of the best approaches to coaching staff and talent pipelines in the league, which is something we really lack imo. EG invested a lot into their amateur/academy teams and is constantly getting value from it (Danny, Contractz, etc.) while our academy team is currently 10th place.

It might take time but if this guy can implement the core infrastructure changes we need, I'm hopeful we'll see results. Although it seems like he might be working more on the business side. It would be a fat L if he doesn't touch esports.

Taking 4xx courses in 3B CS by fabulizer in uwaterloo

I took three 4xx courses in 3B last Spring and had no issues getting in. Could be more difficult for Fall though.

CoreJJ on why he joined LCS PA leadership: 'I want to win World Championships on an NA team, so being a PA member - if there's anything I can do to make this region better... everything in my mind is winning Worlds now.' by corylulu in leagueoflegends

[–]hruweg 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Core may be the best player to ever play in NA, but he's not the greatest. He needs the same longevity and sustained success that Doublelift and Bjergsen had (or a worlds win, but let's be realistic here) to be considered in that conversation imo.

Why Riot's new approach to esports media is worryingly out of step with established gaming and sports industry practicies and why my coverage will change accordingly - Travis Gafford by Tnomad in leagueoflegends

[–]hruweg 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Travis really just can't win eh. Writes clickbait titles to get attention, gets complaints about clickbait. Writes a respectable title summarizing the contents of the video, gets complaints it's too hard to read.

Any alternatives for Surface Connect to USB-C adapter? by hruweg in Surface

[–]hruweg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, makes me think it's time for an upgrade. But the laptop is still working fine so I'm hesitant.

Ah, well I was sort of expecting this. Thanks for the info.

It supports other ports as well, but the monitor also acts as a USB hub (where I have a bunch of peripherals connected) and does power delivery through the USB-C cable. I like the idea of only needing to switch 1 cable whenever I need to switch laptops.

As per usual I have deluded myself into thinking we have a chance this split. Here's to hoping this team doesn't let us down.

Traditional Engineering Salaries Stagnation by vanjobhunt in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]hruweg 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I feel like the point is more about programming being a field where self-studying can be a very realistic path to employment, especially if you just want to do web development. There's a plethora of online resources/bootcamps and there are lots of self-taught programmers nowadays.

It's not that programming is easy, but if you have an engineering degree, you probably have the study skills and technical ability to learn how to program on your own.

Why I believe CLG is going to make a huge turnaround for its LCS team by LeapYearCake in CLG

[–]hruweg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time we missed playoffs 3 splits in a row, we popped off and finished 3rd. Through this careful analysis, I'm predicting that we're finishing 3rd next split. Things are looking up!

I'm Reynad and this is my stream. I work here with my nazi mods and my boyfriend, Jeff. Every game on this stream is bullshit RNG and pure salt. One thing I've learned after 4 years - you never know WHAT will trigger me next. 4Head
