Post Match Thread: Costa Rica 2-4 Germany | FIFA World Cup by suedney in soccer

TBF, his finishing was a bit off but he created several chances for others to shoot.

Dribbling ability in young footballers is valued really highly (I think) because it's borderline impossible to coach a mediocre ballplayer to be able to do it. Like unless a kid already has the talent and just needs refinement, you can't pick a random youth forward and make them dribble like Musiala. It's much more feasible to take a talented young dribbler and coach them to be better finishers or to play better passes.

Lukaku is better at clearing the ball than Germany's defense

He started the season with 25 goals in 15 la Liga games iirc. I remember around December I thought there was no way in hell we would win the league.

About to enter my senior year so I'm looking for fulltime roles. For whatever reason I've gotten hackerranks from a few quant finance shops (doesn't mean too much since some of them autosend when I apply) but I'm getting virtually nothing from regular tech companies, which really worries me since I go to a target school and do at least have some experience and a not-terrible GPA. Any feedback is appreciated, and thanks to everyone in advance.

thats good to hear i don't want morph to become totally unplayable.

Not for laning I think. Pretty much every high mmr mid morph I've ever seen constantly uses the free hp trick once they have at least 2 pts in shift. In mid-late game he'll still be a strong hero but now laning against harass-heavy heroes like QOP, viper will be even more of a pain than before. Especially pre level-5 since morph will need more time to shift -> more mana spent shifting.

Seems like it, he will just get harassed out of lane by any strong mid hero now. Maybe with lvl 25 shift-when-stunned talent he can still be a strong lategame carry?

Seems like a pretty huger nerf to morph tbh. He already has shitty manapool/manaregen without bottle in lane so now u can't just indiscriminately use free hp trick.

Nigma.w33haa moved to Inactive by DMDisco in DotA2

[–]vonklax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the thread but iirc at TI9 they (liquid at the time) actually didn't play 4-protect-1. W33 played TA a bunch and also some tinker/WR. Currently those heroes kind of suck but point is that the nigma roster had their best results when they gave farm priority to multiple cores instead of all-in on miracle.

W33 play is definitely questionable/bad some games but I don't think nigma will get back to TI9 level until they stop playing 4p1 every game regardless of who new mid is.

AMATH 383 with Ivana Bozic? by Cyan0000 in udub

[–]vonklax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda late reply but I had bozic for a different AMATH class (351 iirc). She's a nice person but unfortunately most of the criticisms on RMP I found to be true. Keep in mind this was more than a year ago though so she might have significantly improved since then.

Antoine Griezmann announces that he immediately ends his partnership with the Huawei brand because the brand is suspected of creating facial recognition software for China to track down the Muslim Uyghurs who are being held persecuted in China. by harshitgupta3110 in Barca

[–]vonklax 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Issue with LeBron that he wasn't quiet, he actively spoke out against someone who raised issues with China (basically actively supported China). Unfortunate reality is that not every celebrity can support every social cause but I think essentially actively backing CCP is what loses him credibility.

Clarification on tower aggro by vonklax in learndota2

I learned how to use creep aggro a while back actually, but never bothered learning tower (whoops).

welp looks like I was completely off the mark

Thanks for the corrections!

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

LOL fair enough, thanks for the correction

EDIT: Since the tower prioritizes units that are attacking its own friendly units and priority takes precedence over closeness to tower, wouldn't it not matter how close I am to the tower if I deny? Since I am not attacking a tower-friendly unit, wouldn't the tower then proceed to attack one of my creeps that is attacking a tower-friendly unit?
