Seriously, so far no one else have a much better write-ups with deep insights about the whole competitive DotA and its team nature than you. You are truly awe-inspiring and your blogs are always my go-to for my self motivation and improvement, especially during a phase where I'm currently having troubles of organizing myself with my team. I will always support you no matter what and I'm proud that you are part of team Liquid, a team that I always admire ever since I started Starcraft 2 (now focused more on DotA 2 though

). I truly believe Team Liquid couldn't have gotten a much better DotA 2 team than this. The whole of Team Liquid are truly remarkable, be it the DotA 2 team, the SC2 team, or even the management and its community. It's a team that I'm always proud to cheer on.

All the best and keep up the great posts! LIQUID HWAITING!!

Such an amazing blog entry.

Best so far yet, imo. I hope TL sticks together for a long time, the biggest bane of dota teams seems to be the constant shuffling of members...

When can we expect 5-forcestaff BS lineup?

Great read. TL Dota got me to take a break following SC2 and start following DOTA (as someone who's never touched any MOBA before) and its been terrific to be able to follow you guys since your inception as TL to the present and see you grow and learn together (which is so abundantly clear even to people who've had to develop game-sense alongside spectating). Congrats on coming so far, and nothing but the best for the future

You forgot yourself on the list, thanks to you Fluff, for being a quirky sensationalist introspective leader baws.

This was a fantastic post! Having been a manager of a software department, I can definitely understand your misconception of leadership. They sent me to a Dale Carnegie course though, and I learned a bit there. But mostly it was experience.

Also, if you're interested, read 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. That also has some nice concepts about leadership, I recall.

Fluff, you are an inspiration. Your drive to improve and never be content with where you are, no matter how good you may recognize it to be at the time, is a trait that is so rare in the world. You've made me a loyal Liquid'DotA fan, and I have no doubt you'll continue to lead your team to good results!

Great blog yet again, Fluff, and a testament to the fact that you are a good leader. TL has the tools of dynamism, which I never thought Fire or coL had, at least not to the same degree.
