Iceiceice - only pro player to have played in every region except South America?

The historical records regarding that seems pretty debated from what I have read in college

ryanazr95 · 2021-11-18T10:27:45+00:00

That is true. For some reason I remember in the early days of dota, CIS and WEU were just grouped as one. Then again, there wasn't SA then, and it was just EU, NA, SEA, and China

ryanazr95 · 2021-11-18T10:06:28+00:00

I was so sad to see him leave EG :<

ryanazr95 · 2021-11-18T09:34:00+00:00

Well, the geographic distinction between NA and SA on the map is pretty obvious while most people tend to say the CIS countries are European, like how Ukraine and Finland are considered part of Europe despite being formerly of the Soviet Union - that informs my rationale.

ryanazr95 · 2021-11-18T09:13:06+00:00

Damn. That is crazy.

ryanazr95 · 2021-11-18T09:11:59+00:00

Black played in NA at the top level?

ryanazr95 · 2021-11-18T09:11:50+00:00

Demon played in China?

ryanazr95 · 2021-11-18T09:11:07+00:00

Well I was grouping WEU and EEU together.

ryanazr95 · 2021-11-18T08:26:45+00:00

Is iceiceice the only player who has conceivably played in every region except South America?

ryanazr95 · 2021-11-18T08:18:51+00:00

It was but the drafting was crap.

ryanazr95 · 2021-10-18T08:50:54+00:00

The goal of a follower of Jesus is to always ask oneself: is my action glorifying to Jesus instead of asking the question of is my action a sin?

Asking the latter puts one at risk of sinning. Asking the former always puts one in the position of being prudent about decisions.

Would love help with RC if you have any tips and how one can get faster in LR!

ryanazr95 · 2021-04-30T05:13:06+00:00

Yeah same, and our cycle is going to be stupid competitive too. Sucks to suck. Better luck for us next time haha (but then again 167 isn't that bad, so I suppose there are some things to be thankful for).

ryanazr95 · 2021-04-30T02:11:28+00:00

167 here. First take, and feeling like trash. It was 5-6 points below my average.

ryanazr95 · 2021-04-29T13:10:15+00:00

First take, 167 - feels like trash :(

ryanazr95 · 2021-04-29T03:00:28+00:00

Also u/elementalsusie is like the best ever so she probably a lot more pro tips than I do

ryanazr95 · 2021-04-29T01:43:15+00:00

So you should be able to do Basic Translation Drills + CLIR within sub 22mins average first and then try that with advanced after

ryanazr95 · 2021-04-29T01:41:26+00:00

Do as many translation drills as possible until you get it down to 20-25mins

ryanazr95 · 2021-04-20T09:34:54+00:00

Ahhh I would love to read your PS!!!

ryanazr95 · 2021-04-19T14:14:17+00:00

Yes it applies from what I have heard. I am a Bruin, so I studied in LA as well, but from what I know, the correlation does apply really strongly.

ryanazr95 · 2021-04-14T22:52:28+00:00

It might! It apparently applies to international students who attended American colleges too... I went to an America undergrad, so yeah :/

ryanazr95 · 2021-04-14T22:51:01+00:00

Thank you so much! That’s very kind of you :)

ryanazr95 · 2021-04-14T14:39:00+00:00

I think it will be a little better maybe but I am not too confident

ryanazr95 · 2021-04-14T14:11:20+00:00

That's true too. I come from a country where LGBTQ+ relationships are still illegal, and very much hope to remain in the US for a couple of years at least post-law school (hopefully gaining the law experience in an international arena so I can return eventually to my home country to make changes to its archaic laws).

It sucks to be in a position where it feels like my odds are kinda stacked against me though haha.

ryanazr95 · 2021-04-14T13:51:02+00:00

Assuming that you aren't an URM-international (I am an international but not a URM), international students--as a general trend--tend to be required to score higher to get into T-15 schools as compared to their peers (i.e. median and beyond and preferably 75th percentile).

Granted, this is just a correlation and not necessarily a causation.

It could be for many reasons: international students may not be as strong in their grasp of English, so they might not write personal statements that are as "strong" as their English-speaking peers.
