As far as I'm concerned: working on, or playing in anything Chaosground puts out lets down every single person who got screwed over by EPULZE before. Markus, Pontus and Mattias owe players, talent and personnel a combined ~$850k. Don't let them get away with it.

I'm looking for new opportunities! * Chief Software Architect (6+ yrs) / Software Engineer (14+ yrs) * designing complex & robust big-data systems *🏠Berlin area / remote * Python, Java, JS, redis, psql, Docker, k8s, AWS, etc * esports expertise (open to other industries too!)

I HOPE this is an off-ramp to let smurfing pro players (read: people who break the Steam TOS for personal gain) off the hook before a massive smurf banwave. Otherwise it's just Valve pulling the ladder up behind the current top tier of pro players.

Fresh and updated showreel from the last couple of years! Nearly a decade of experience, I thrive to be as good as possible and continue to stay at the top of my game. RT's appreciated! Business: rickykangasmaki@gmail.com youtu.be/BThqY3QIBIs

Come read for some hot takes about Nigma (from me) and some factual insight (from @khezu) ;)

of COURSE Puppey picks up the Team Tough boys amazing acquisition, 10/10, no notes

Ah, the change of seasons: the days getting shorter, the first snow coming down, @faker playing in the finals of Worlds...

HELL YEAH come watch twitch.tv/relog_dota2

I had some vague hope that the leopard has changed its spots but... Well, every couple of months I get a sad reminder of why I pushed the SA DPC talent to go on strike :|

absolutely bonkers run, nothing to add, 10/10

When society doesn't punish assholes for being abusive, the abused feel justified to take matters into their own hands. Knowing Dota 2, everyone is just going to pick a side and then move on, but I dare to suggest:

I propose "Solo's Razor": never attribute to throwing that which can be adequately explained by incompetence

so happy to be running with this crew for one more tour <3 and then... to meet them all on LAN!

And one of the cleanest wins of all time, too.
