EPTInteresting Twitlonger by Sheepo. The thing is, is even hitting 7.0k MMR good enough to have aspirations of being a pro player? For example Saberlight is an absolute beast, he's 10k MMR, was number one EU leaderboards a while ago. It still took him years playing in tier 2-3 teams to start finally making money off playing Dota after they got signed by NiP a couple months ago. 10k and barely hitting 7k is a massive MMR difference, of course. How good do you have to be to be making money by being a Dota 2 pro?

With that being said I wish her luck I guess. Would be cool to see someone prove everyone wrong, but if I'm being honest she just doesn't have the base level of talent needed. | ||

The mechanical skill will be the same, the big difference is how they play the map/game. | ||

That brings another topic to mind, are you guys in favor for a female dota league system. I myself don't really like it, as i can't see any gender based advantages that would call for it. | ||

We got a male so they need a female one to be sure they'll get along, took us a while to find a place with them that wasn't just a pet store (it was one that bought babies sometimes, but all their adults were from bad homes). We got an adult one on Saturday. She seemed pretty chill... But looked kinda pregnant from some angles. Only some - from most she didn't look pregnant at all. We are keeping them in separate cages for a week or two to prevent illness from spreading. So it turns out she was extremely pregnant and gave birth this morning. She didn't look very pregnant because she only had one child. (The normal number is 2-6). So now I have 3 guinea pigs, one of which isn't even a day old. | ||

There was this Twitter trend a few days ago about how 1+1 can equal 3 because one could be a pregnant mother, and this is applicable to that. | ||

Couple pics I got: https://imgur.com/a/wzTGZZz (We have a much bigger cage that the other cavy is in at the moment, that we'll be putting them all in eventually). | ||
