Amazing blog of the thought processes of Fluff. I have absolute faith in TL, which is something I have never experienced in my life, as a skeptical and critical natured individual, and a fighter against blind faith. <3 this team so much in all its parts, and the sum of all of its parts. I am so happy TL picked up A-team, and A-team chose TL. I know You will fight adversity, rather than crumble in an unstable scene/game environment. Happy birthday to TC. TL hwaiting.

YNWA.

Thanks FLUFF for your never ending in sights on your life as a pro dota 2 player / leader. I know it's a cliche of some sort sometimes, but what you go/went through, is currently what I'm going through right now. Except that you are much more successful than I am (in the sense that I'm just a no namer in the scene, whereas people basically know who you are now). It's been like 6 years for me and I'm still having a hard time organizing a team of proper 5 players with real dedication and passion for it. But your blogs have always been one of the few things that motivates me to keep on striving until I achieve it. Really, thanks a lot FLUFF for sharing it with us, I really appreciate it! <3

As an older guy who enjoys gaming and following the pro teams, I was very excited when Team Liquid announced a DotA 2 team in December last year. I remember the emphasis that Nazgul put in the introduction article on how crucial it was to find the right long term players with the right dynamics and professionalism.

Whenever you doubt yourself, your commitment and your qualities, go read what Nazgul said about you and the team on http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=386787 again.

Also, I commend you for your decision to play on your Liquid account (I watched your stream yesterday).

On a side note, have you considered streaming your Liquid practice sessions in a more formal sense?

Im just going to say this.

Ive been reading the last couple of your blogs, and while i don't know the ins and out of competitive dota like you do i know this.

In general in life some people set themselves to attain a goal X, but they get so caught up at achieving it that in a way they loose their sanity, they become stubborn restless and can't think outside of the imaginary vision they have of the project and how it show be achieved.

If were going to make a stupid anology lets do one about women ( since the world turns around sex) ive seen at many parties and in everyday life a guy that is interested in a girl, but he keeps on imagining how he should aboard her or how their first experience should go, people get obsessive about small details that probably have no significance for the person doing them, like they will obsess about one texto.

I just want to remind u that before all creativity comes from freedom and a free mind, to think about something new and innovative u must be at rest with yourself and not obsess in a vicious circle.


Hopefully this helps u a bit and leads u to think Good luck in the future

You're an amazing writer Fluff, and you continue to inspire me.
There's nothing wrong with taking pride in your accomplishments, but I think you're on the right track for rekindling your fire by returning to your roots and recognizing that it's never too late to learn more
