Fluff, i hardly ever post anything on any forum whatsoever but i wanted to take this opportunity to tell you i greatly admire the way you handled the situation. Keep up the good work and i will look forward to seeing the 'new' Liquid Dota squad.

Ok first off, I have not really read anything aside from what Nazgul said. You are waaay too wordy for my tastes XD

But, maybe, in the end, it will turn out to have been a good decision to post what you did before. What if the team as a whole would have been unable to get the motivation/boost required to achieve a TI4 victory from purely internal "decent" & "by the book" communications? Sometimes a child (a new team) needs a good kick in the arse to get going properly.

The way you guys are dealing with your previous outburst makes me think that this is exactly what needed to be done. Like some people say: sometimes you need to act now and ask for permission later.

There are more ways and potentionally better ways to phrase this, I will refrain from trying to find them all. I am sure people have said this before.


I dont feel like it was necessary to make all of this public.He could have written all of that to his teammates/TL management and it would have been the same. The management could have then found a way to make all of this public without unnecessary drama and emotions. Like just writing down who drafts/calls etc. and with reasoning why it is done. It is just unnecessary tension and makes the other members of TL feel uncomfortable if he posts something like this.

But whatever, Just do what it takes to make your words more than just empty words and manage to qualify for TI4.

It takes guts to say what's on your mind without pulling punches, but it takes even more guts to realize it was a mistake to say those things and to sincerely own up to them. I'm glad you, Nazgul, and the rest of the squad were able to come to an understanding without jeopardizing the integrity of your team cohesion. Liquid all the way(to), man.

so basically what you're telling us is that you don't keep a diary. okay.
now can all you diary huggers get off his back, or what?

can we get some fresh blood into the TL dota 2 team, or not? if you ask me, bulba's their only good player. fluff is still young though so there's the possibility he could improve. i'm not sure if he's genuinely a nice guy or if it's an act. if he is nice, he might be worth hanging on to. but the rest of the team for sure isn't worth hanging onto other than bulba.

First post in the thread is a quote from Batman. We are all pretty dorky and its kinda great.

Glad you got your grove back Fluff.

It doesn't matter where the quote is from, what matters is Fluff's plan!

Ahhhh, you're alright, Fluff.

It's good to be really introspective when shit gets hairy in a team environment. It's easier to blame people than to look at oneself and ask "What am I doing wrong? What can I do to make things better? Where do I fit in, and what are my strengths and weaknesses?". You become a much more powerful asset to your team when you focus on your job.

I feel like these posts, along with Behind the Horse, gives us such an unprecedented look into a single team. I'm thankful for it, it's compelling really.

I don't understand why some are offended by these recent posts though. Fluff has always been like this, and we all saw Liquid tanking so it isn't so surprising that he'll share his thoughts on something that important.

People are generally quite good at finding a reason to be angry on the Internet, or focusing incessantly on a single negative aspect of an otherwise positive event. Hell, sometimes they don't even need a reason to be mad. Granted, FLUFF did fuck up by letting impulse and emotion override his responsibilities toward Nazgul and to his teammates. But it takes personal strength to admit you fucked up and to continually work toward erasing further mistakes, and that is something I feel FLUFF will do (and has done) most admirably.

Reminds me of that old quote about how people will remember an individual not for his many successes, but for his single failure.

I believe there is still a race to leadership in team liquid's dota 2 squad. With all the experiences and the theories I have learned in my engineering projects, I can affirm that there is only a place for one leader. You must select one player if you want to perform at an high level or else you won't play as a team and you won't have success. Good luck!

I concur with others as have said it sounds like you could use some therapy or something.
Great read: http://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-2016-general-election/ great book on democracy: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/10671.html zlefin is grumpier due to long term illness. Ignoring some users.

Well... it looks like you achieved everything you wanted with your first blog, so congrats on that... Now you are the drafter and have half the leadership with that. Now you can spam #determination #hardwork #roadtoti4 #passion a lot on twitter and then surely everything will work out greatly for TL.

oh me gusta.

and if you're looking for some other good audiobooks, I highly recommend "Mastery" by Robert Greene. You can listen to it for free via Amazon's new service Audible. It's the only thing I play in the car, and by the time I commute anywhere I'm super focused.

The only way to fix a burnt bridge is to rebuild it. It's a pretty old and popular saying... actions speak louder than words.

TI4 would be nothing without Liquid. Liquid is the only reason why I came to Dota 2 from SC2 , sure other teams are flashy in plays and win the biggest tourney but Liquid- there is something about them that keeps me following despite continuous failures. I believe that this is the turning point




TI4 is nothing without liquid? oh god
