so I have a question

if two people are each trying to argue that they personally are worse at doto than the other

can that be solved by a 1v1?

b/c each will try to throw

do we need professional throwers like jimmy "demon" ho to officiate?

I find KotLguy funny at least, would rather someone like Zyori go to be honest.

The problem here is that emu thinks that everybody should understand when he's joking but has shown a complete inability to discern when others are joking about him
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

Emu asked for that shit by flaming Charlie. I don't see Emu managing a team. Well maybe a Halo team or some other Esport.

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

I meant to pretend we aren't knowledgeable but thanks for picking apart my unedited forum posts.

To be fair, I didn't think you were delusional enough to think you had 'dota gods' on staff but that sentence was funny.

As far as TL as a whole, I think they overextended (too many sites with too many teams in too many games) and lost all the cool community driven, tight knit shit that made TL amazing and distinct. Maybe the Starcraft side still feels like that cause they have been the backbone of TL since the start, but all the other projects (after the initial dota team) feel like super generic, bullshit whocares random X players from X game to increase exposure to get more sponsor dollaz.

In the end, TL will do what it thinks best to meet the goals of the owners, which nowadays seems like getting money and less about maintaining an awesome community and a unique experience other teams weren't able to achieve.

i think its reasonable to assume charlie knows a lot more about dota than most all of us just by interacting and dealing with the team and players so much. I imagine he talks to PPD/RTZ and other friends in the scene quite often about dota and gets their insight. He probably knows EG's strategies before they're unveiled with how intimate his relationship seems to be with all his players. This is all speculative though and maybe he separates dota talk from business stuff, who knows. It's reasonable to believe he has a more casual working relationship with the players though given their prior friendships and the two areas (dota/business) are probably swished around a lot.

I imagine just sitting with his team backstage at a tournament and listening to them communicate about strats, items, drafts etc., would garner him more dota knowledge than most of us plebs.


Still just a 4k scrub.

i can be the most knowledgeable *insert any sport* strategist, stat tracker and coach and not be able to kick, hit, throw or do anything at all with the ball. Knowledge =/= playability.


Still doesn't change his rating.

Hehe, I should refer everyone to my opinion of some of the people that I posted a week or so ago. But then I got flamed by our favourite paralegal, mr bills out at £1231231313 an hour, for calling Charlie a mongol. :D
