RTZ curse is broken guys. The Chinese/Russian cycle of who knocks him out is now dead.

For those of you who use Windows 10, did Microsoft Teams decide to install itself on your computers or is it just me? We use it for work but I don't have anything from work on my desktop installed because frankly, that's a waste of time. I'll start being available for work on nights/weekends when the manager(s) require me to be.

Yea it appeared on startup like a week ago. My first reaction was to throw it out of autostart.

I dunno where to post this but I'll try here cause I can't do blogs yet.
i'm headed to move in onto college campus on saturday and I can bring my PC with me to play DOTA because I enjoy the game, the esports, the theorycrafting, strat, ect. (and i'm pretty good at it)
I was always able to balance highschool studies and dota relatively easy, but a lot of people say dota ruins their college studies
DOTA isn't something i really want to give up due to a change of environment like this, so thoughts?

I mean, anything can ruin your university experience if you're not careful enough. My 2 cents is to keep some type of hobby you enjoy if you can during undergrad to avoid burnout, but also be mindful that some (but not all schools) want you to treat it like a full-time job in terms of time commitment. At least, the two undergrads I tried in Canada asked us to treat it that way.

I'd recommend bringing your PC with you regardless since a lot of schoolwork is done digitally. And a better computer's gonna save you headaches down the line. My old laptop started breaking on me towards the end, and it was a bit stressful.

I'd recommend trying it out for a bit, and making decisions around how you're performing. But depending on your program, you might be quite busy.

Anything can ruin your studies to be completely honest. If you don't have the discipline to finish your work then you will find some way to procrastinate, whether it's dota or something else.

This is something only you can answer. From my experience I have friends that have been able to maintain top grades from great universities while putting 5k+ hours into dota, but on the other hand I've seen many people completely fuck up their lives for the game (or some other game).
