Great explanation man I’ll take 100 flips plz
An MIT professor offered his class a coin flip: win $125 or lose $100. Most students said no. Then he proved refusing was the smart move, and it explains why you're bad with money.
The bet looks great on paper. Flip a coin, win $125 or lose $100. On average, you make money. Economists call that a more than fair bet. Most of the room still wanted nothing to do with it.
They weren't being dumb. Their answer actually made sense.
Here's why. You don't experience money as numbers on a spreadsheet. What matters is what that money does for you. Losing $100 you already have can hurt more than gaining another $125 helps.
Then he changed the question. Imagine you were forced to take the bet unless you paid to escape it. How much would you give up? Using the standard math, the answer came out to $43. People would rather lose $43 for certain than face a bet that's actually tilted in their favor.
That's risk aversion. The value of gaining money and the pain of losing it aren't perfectly symmetrical.
And it's part of the reason insurance exists. You accept a small guaranteed cost today to remove the possibility of a much bigger loss tomorrow, even when that loss is statistically unlikely.
Once you see it, you notice it everywhere. Insurance premiums, warranties, bets you refuse. Sometimes you're not paying for better odds. You're paying to remove an outcome you can't afford.

Also, so many players misunderstand the path ahead including many T1 players.
Some of you guys need to lower your standards immensely and play to dominate at a lower level (like a mid T1 player dominating in T2 early next season) so you can have a stronger career path.
Do you seriously think it’s gonna be good looks to perform like a role player on a top T2 team unless you win everything? You’re better off playing on a bad team in T2 and stat farming for trials.
I really don’t care if some VCT larper gets angry at me in the comments, this is a real decision you need to make. Lower your standards and prove you can dominate the lower level & you’ll have 5x better offers.
If you are interested in competing next year at any level including Tier 1 you need to understand that things are about to start moving very fast in NA. Qualifiers & Partnership announcements are weeks away, you need to be in the best form of your life right now. DO NOT wait until everything is announced public. Start preparing your F/A teams and start preparing for trials on the role you are desiring.

Marteen claims the notes were leaked intentionally by Gentle M8s to make him look bad. Pretty serious claim and valid if true
marteen 🇨🇿 in ENGH's 🇷🇺 chat:
"They deliberately 'leaked' nonsense about me on Twitter to make me look bad, but the real problems I told them, and because of which I quit, they kept quiet about."
He said once his contract ends, he would reveal what REALLY HAPPENED

Hello everyone I am pleased to announce something special. I will be launching my 2026 Radiant Academy program tonight. This program is my absolute best work which feels great after in my eyes, falling short in previous works.
For that same reason, EVERYONE who has ever been coached by me will have free access to this program. You can apply for the free access in my standard discord (Discord .gg/coaching) when the channel is live tonight.
More details posted later
