+ Show Spoiler + man this discussion reminds me of all those sc2 kiddies who were considering going pro. i often wonder how old some of these people are, or how much they know about the world... even if i was a pro player making a decent salary with some decent tourney winnings on the side, i would still hedge my bets and do college. like, maybe esports will become huge and we'll see aphromoo pull a 5 year 100 mill contract like drew brees did, but i doubt it. plus in esports you're a champ one day, a has-been the next. | ||

if my kid had the option between playing a game that they love to make money or going to college, i'd tell them to do what they love 100% of the time people always say like "gaming dies out but your education will last forever" and it baffles me... college has got to be the biggest scam in history. i know more waiters with college degrees than without. obviously this is a discussion for a different topic, but i'd rather see someone make a living doing something they enjoy than get put into debt that will follow them for life for a pointless degree | ||

I'm not sure about the difference between them and admins (is there even any?) Puzzle pieces: Liquipedia admin/mod (red for admin, blue for mod) Pens: Writers Paintbrushes: Artist/Graphic designer Blue text bubble: Translator. Admins have personal icons of their choosing i think. Hope it helps! EDIT: I was just messaging Ares[Effort] about the differences because I realized that I didn't know them either :o, and here's what he said: + Show Spoiler + swim224 (8:40): ok, whats the difference between a banling and an admin? Nimbus1 (8:40): well there's 4 levels staff banling mod admin staff are people who consist of everyone writers gfx etc swim224 (8:40): k Nimbus1 (8:40): banling are staff that are granted the power to ban and moderate threads and stuff mods are the red names given more power admins are head of everything the blue bar are representives of the site who speak directly for the website and work at TLHQ swim224 (8:42): ah, ok. So admins would be the heads of certain divisions? (head writer/editor etc?) Nimbus1 (8:42): ya i.e waxangel head of writers editor in chief or w/e the title is swim224 (8:42): yeah, thats who i was using for the example :o cool Nimbus1 (8:42): and hot_bid is COO swim224 (8:43): oh, alright then. tyvm! Nimbus1 (8:43): np swim224 (8:43): was never sure about the differences :D Nimbus1 (8:43): ya it's crazy a lot of time many people have different titles and jobs | ||

the only thing laughable about kids wanting to go pro is that it always comes from unskilled players. if you're playing 3-4 hours everyday and you can't beat people who only put in a couple hours on the weekend, guess what, increasing the time you're playing won't help at all. | ||

There are a few other non-mod icons but they aren't staff so I don't really know where to find them. | ||

Way to make my post feel useless  jkjkI was actually looking for this very list, I guess my search phrase wasn't accurate enough to find it. Now I know to bookmark it! | ||

Only ones with real power. All the other people are irrelevant. So that's red hammers, red names, and those 2 fake blues. | ||

Son, that ain't shit. I was at the our school game dungeon duoing with a friend. Another friend of ours was also playing across the room. My friend and I entered queue. ...And we get the dude playing from across the room in our team. | ||

Heyoka and Fakesteve are technically the boss of the guys who write you all of the great content in this subforum.like the LR Threads and Post-tournament Writeups (aka Neo, JBright and MoonBear). They give us the green light to do nice things for you. If everything goes according to plan, we're going to have some really nice stuff for the Season 2 Championships and in Season 3!  For the record, they have never, ever threatened me, or hurt me in order to get things done on time and I think they are great people.

A handful can transition, but most can't. There aren't many jobs out there -- it's usually something like casting or coaching/managing. Other jobs generally require actual education / skills (e.g. you can't become a developer for a gaming website if you don't know e.g. web development). Note that most of these jobs are also contested by non-"pros" and the first two (the ones that don't require any skills or education) generally pay poorly and/or are infrequent. There just isn't much out there to transition into. | ||

I recall hearing that W>Q if you want to kill, Q>W if you want to farm. Is that still true after all the changes or is Q>W superior in pretty much every circumstance? The cdr on W makes for higher damage but it doesn't seem to matter too much in an all-in until level 7 onwards. | ||
