It was pretty clear I was making light of the situation and since EG was already better than 6 at that point I felt it was obvious I was actually making fun of us more than him with my tweet. If you think he didn't overreact then I'm not sure what to say.

And please explain how managing a team makes you knowledgeable about dota.

Plz explain to me knowledge about dota has anything to do with his job? Is manager a confusing title? Because you confused it with maid/babysitter and I think you might not know his role.

Also, please explain to me how you don't understand that very thing comes off as more aggressive on the internet? You needed an emoji or /s on that tweet if you wanted him to take it as anything more than flame.

sigh...

There is not a single point where I said dota knowledge had anything to do with his job. Just that his job does not make him knowledgeable about dota. There's a huge distinction there...

To be fair it sure seems like being a tl writer doesn't require any dota knowledge either
So yes in a way you don't have to be a god at dota to write for us. You are kind of correct. But to pretend some of us aren't is insulting.


wait, are you saying some of LD staff *are* 'gods' at dota?

L O L


(to be clear i don't care about your dota skill as a writer, but that sentence was absolutely hilarious)

why not both

also given how much emu likes to talk up his own dota skill, it's no surprise he considers himself a god at dota

Ehhh I mean I'm not the only one rubbing this in. When you have a controversial opinion in something like that you have to expect the back lash to be p strong. It happens in sports journalism, and here as well. And the backlash calling charlie bad at dota was just kind of childish. Thats my job not emus.

I gave him a decent response that hopefully helps him understand what we look for in writers. If he wants to continue flaming that's fine really.

Yeah I feel like I should point out that apart from some semi deserved shit for this article, Julmust has been pretty solid.
