#16 stock market crash? in Off Topic

We've been in a downtrend for 7 months, are you saying that a single day 10%~ drop in the nasdaq / dow is coming similar to what happened in march 2020? Otherwise, it's been crashing for a while now

One is that, in scrims, you should ALWAYS follow your maincaller, no matter how you think the play will turn out. If you follow the call, you can determine pretty cleanly whether the call was good or bad depending on the outcome of the play.

I agree with this and I gave your exact reasoning to the player on our team that said they will countercall if they hear something bad.

Unconsciousyeah after seeing that google doc for mid strats on 2 maps i have earned a new found respect for JW. kids on the grind for himself and also trying to uplift his team on a general level. Also i think the other 5 people on w/e team it is need to recognize teams are always 50/50 calls and execution are what make things work if your team was trying to use things like central mids it is imperative that people on the individual level recognize when they fuck up execution instead of throwing a whole strat out or trying to go back to a "lower tier strat" when the point of finding new info/tech in any game is to practice it and review this specific part to fix these issues. Scrims were made for this exact reason the point of the game not being fun when things become a college essay I understand but that's just during the learning process. Once something becomes part of your repertoire and it becomes second nature and you don't have to mindfully think of it. As an individual it gives you so many more options to make in any competitive game that the initial trials and tribulation you face honing any tech/strat becomes super validating. Just my old man ramblings

The google doc is awesome, his effort is awesome. I joined this team because I liked how seriously the game was being taken.

The strategies on paper are good, when we played against teams that didn't play like invite players, JW was having issues making adjustments against people that were playing silly, and that's completely fine. This felt like an issue when I had told him that we couldn't rely 100% on the playbook when our opponents weren't playing into it. He disagreed here, and I got frustrated experiencing preventable problems reoccur because of an inability to stray from the "invite tactics". When chaotic situations were to happen, I didn't like the decisions that were being made. I tried to give my input on what I felt like wasn't the right call and what I thought should be done. But he perceived this as venomous toxicity, and I became increasingly frustrated as I realized no progress was being made.

It's worth putting it on the record that I know it's shitty to blindside him and send him off the team without warning, and I'm sorry about that.

Jw]Ya he's just straight up lying. I never said that and Zam never told me that in a demo review (I asked you to come to the demo review but you never responded). Thought vin might tiptoe around it a bit more, but he went for the "I'm gonna lie about him where he can see it" route. Whatever; it's obvious he's not telling the truth and that my prediction about them slandering me came true.

This is disgusting though. I am not lying, I am not slandering. An entire team did not get together just to bully you.

ZamFor example, I was told "combo scout should never leave the rock on process mids", "The flank (scout) should never push through the same doorway as the combo during a push under any circumstance".

^ neither of these are true and im sure jw isnt retarded enough to think that people should play that one dimensional.......

My entire team heard this and demos of our process scrims and matches would support this.

JwI normally don't do this, but because I have the feeling that my former teammates are going to slander me, I will post this as a record for the future.

Didn't plan on it.

Jw My former teammates questioned whether central mids on maps like process, sunshine, etc. were a "real thing," and said that this is "invite technology" that should not be practiced. I was told to never call for our soldiers to fade bomb because that is "useless."

We never said invite strategies shouldn't be used. I said repeatedly to not anticipate an enemy team in advanced to play like perfect invite players, and to react accordingly to what's happening in the game. Your playbook was too cookie cutter, you couldn't adapt to what was happening in our games.

Jw My teammates questioned whether this invite demo-reviewer was giving us "bad information on purpose," and the consensus of my teammates was that we should not listen to this invite player. As a result, I was given a 30-minute lecture by a teammate that everything this invite player had told me about my positioning on process mids was wrong. When I continued to play like the invite player told me in the demo review, I was accused of not listening to my teammates.

This is the funny one. I thought Zam might've been feeding JW bad information because the sparknotes JW gave us after receiving these reviews seemed off to me. I also said that I wasn't certain of this claim, but I was skeptical. I later began to think that the information being given wasn't off, it was the interpretation of it that was, this new thesis supported by how insane this post is.
For example, I was told "combo scout should never leave the rock on process mids", "The flank (scout) should never push through the same doorway as the combo during a push under any circumstance".

JwBefore our Wednesday match, after which everyone on the team went radio silent, I made a point to tell the team that we should not be lecturing each other mid-match, and that it is better to simply play the game. I also asked to team to not countercall me during the match. One of my teammates responded that he "would definitely" be countercalling me if I made a bad call. After every lost teamfight, I was repeatedly lectured and essentially told I was the genesis of the team's problems. After a particular play, one miffed teammate told me I made "such a stupid play," and I became angry, asking why he was lecturing me in the middle of a match. Talking to this teammate after the match about his behavior, I was told that I was "gaslighting him." After days of complete silence, the reason given for my being cut from the team was because my "maincall is just very weird to what we are all used to playing with.

I never liked the counter-calling from our medic, I stood against that every time it was brought up. You were not lectured after every lost fight, you were not always the problem.
The "such a stupid play" quote is actually, "stop making stupid plays" and that came from my mouth. And this wasn't after a lost fight, this was after asking me why I'm giving you so much criticism. Criticism is a good thing, I'm not calling your play bad and leaving it at that, I'm providing alternative ideas that I wanted you to grapple with. That's the only time I said anything negatively charged towards you. The specific instance was of you double jumping in a straight line at two scouts on height at process mid, dying, and me saying "hey man, you can't do that".

You seemingly can't separate critique on you as a player and critique of you as a person. I never called you stupid, implied you were stupid, and I only respectfully told you about things I thought you could do better.

Please, do better.

#19 Is consistency always a good thing? in The Dumpster

Consistency is a good thing. When you're talking about good movement being "inconsistent", you're using the wrong word. You wanted your movement to be consistently unpredictable.

if he stops changing his sens every 3 hours he'd probably be one of the best scouts to ever do it

I haven't played with him in a while, but I remember seeing big improvements in his general gameplay throughout a handful of months. I don't know how he'll do in advanced, but I think he'd be worth a tryout at least.
