You know your mistakes already, so go and fix them. Grab your teammates and reveal to them what you've revealed to no one else. Make your deepest secret's become your bond between you and your teammates and never look back. I'll be cheering for you ^^ Edit: Grammar stronk. | ||

It just feels hypocritic to give this rant to the public while you have to scrim for that many hours EVERY DAY with people you obviously do not trust with having the leadership which you feel comfortable with having. Honestly, I'd sit down for a few days with your team and talk this shit out. Especially because of how you described the Monster invitational, I KNOW that feeling and you should react on it, I'd rather be on team with an honest asshole in the team that openly says he doesn't believe in the succes than someone who just keeps it all in. Then again, you might not be the only one feeling really shitty about your team situation. I remember Synderen saying on stream that you should never drown yourself in the game and now you've been fed the same thing that you've had enough of for what has been since the TL 2.0. It doesn't even sound like TL 2.0 was a good breather for you. Not that I am in any place to give you advice other than commenting your blog, but I would sit down and consider if the TI4 dream (with Teamliquid) is worth exhuasting yourself that much for. I hope you get better, cheers, I'll be cheering for you | ||

In the documentary, after getting 8th place and into the money, everyone on the team felt satisfied with their performance. Sure, given the issues the team during the bootcamp and such, getting 8th doesn't seem bad. But really, I'm surprised no one outright said, as a competitor, that they were disappointed. Complacency: it's an issue I think all NA teams have impedes the scene. The only team that might prove to be an exception is the new EG. Winning takes trust and sacrifice. Based on your writing, TL lacks both. Honestly, I don't believe you have what it takes to win TI. Best of luck in the future though. The Dota scene in general lacks competent captains and drafters, NA have none. | ||

I am not cut out for pro dota yet I rooted him and supported him and he had me on a section of his friends list dubbed "worthless" I'm sure he thinks the same of all of you who support him. Are you all that naive? | ||

There is no way the team atmosphere is going to improve after this. Maybe it's time to rebuild and start over. | ||

But honestly, tagging a bunch of people as "worthless" seems pretty fucked up. Although it was long ago and he maybe has deleted that tag by now, at least I hope so. | ||

So you're going to actively support someone who likely would consider you "worthless" ? Do you have some sort of mental problem? User was warned for this post | ||

Some other points: You can't be both a leader and an introvert, these are contradictory things. By definition a leader must be comfortable interacting with people regardless of circumstances, and tackling problems head on. You can't possibly lead effectively until you fix that problem first. Second, if half the team isn't willing to get along with each other or simply can't, you should probably break up the team. But you need someone willing to be the asshole who kicks the people who aren't living up to potential or are causing problems. Yet again, the job of the leader of the team. Your blog doesn't indicate anywhere that you're actually up to the task of forcing your vision upon other people who are confident and know your shit, and will question your decisions if they think they might be wrong. Your job as a leader would be to force your vision on the others, and make them see why your decisions are right. It seems like your old team was more likely just very submissive and let you do what you wanted without ever challenging that. The players on liquid are smart, and have a lot of really smart ideas about the game, and will challenge ideas if they're unsure. This is how things are supposed to be, and the leader should be able to take this questioning and challenging and prove their ideas to the rest of the team in response. | ||

Seeing as how the only hero i can play is clockwerk, and i can't even do that well, i'd say the 'worthless' tag would be well-justified :D | ||
