Again, it's not like he's doing a very good job of it. I'm sorry I wasted 5 minutes of my life trying work out what he was actually saying.

Also Korok lol. That will be interesting if it's real.

Wow, he could be super fucked and such. Depending on the evidence, valve might not let him play. Unless they are garbage like the NFL.

Well, whatiship made a post on reddit saying it shouldn't impact him playing at TI and that they have known about what has happened for a while now. His post was extremely non-transparent though it is hard to figure out what he's truly saying

I expect some high level, enlightened shit from reddit on shit subject. At least some people are saying it its true, its sort of fucked up. And apparently there are two girls that are alleged victims.

Even if it were true, and he would be sentenced. Why shouldn't he be allowed to play? I believe it'd set a terrible precedent if we were to exclude people because they have done something stupid.

azarkon responded guys

he linked me a yahoo answers q/a to tell me what a model is

he's still using model in the wrong context

lmao


idk he's being pretentious as all hell but I'm not sure it's totally off-base.

He's really just using it as a synonym for "hypothesis", and I you see that usage all the time in scientific literature, whether or not it's technically correct. I've probably done it myself once or twice.


let's assume his opinion constitutes a model for a moment. models have to have a mechanism. what is the mechanism here?

in addition, how can his "model" be refuted? Secret and EG players are higher skilled, and it has nothing to do with the meta..ok so how do you back that up? what constitutes skill?

all he states is that western teams have won games in teh past 6 months, that's really it.

btw erasme, you think you could have linked a timestamp, frenchie? i was unimpressed bc you ate every skill up until you turned around and killed WR and mag. nice one.


I'm not defending his actual argument. I said it was a hypothesis, I didn't say it was a good or testable one. It's probably still a model though.

I suppose his mechanism is that quick adaptation is delivering better results than a generally higher baseline skill level. Again, not saying I agree with any part of that, or any of the underlying assumptions. The issue is with the assumptions, though, not on the technicality of whether or not it's a model.

This is far too much text for this thread.


ya but a hypothesis alone isn't a model. a model is used to explain something, e.g. western teams having more skill. he does nothing to illustrate that other than say "they win games" where you have a million different variables.

I just read that thread. Interesting stuff, guys.
Are you a math/science teacher? Because that's the vibe I"m getting.
