    BrianS got a reaction from Mittelfinger høch in Why are your thoughts on 20 million dollar prize pool of Dota 2?   
    Maybe you should do some research on the players in the tournament before you make such an "Absolutely stupid" suggestion like this. Some of these players have been playing for a decade. 
     
    I am a CS:GO player as well, but Dota 2 blows the titles you suggest away when it comes to hero/item knowledge, strategies, drafting etc.

    That is extremely ignorant, considering every single professional player (and every single top-leaderboard player) has many many years of playing, many played for a decade, I'd say most played that long or nearly that long. CS:GO doesn't take nearly as much practice and I'm assuming neither does RL. There is so much to understand behind the game that you might think you know the game well after a year of playing, but then after another year you realize you didn't know much at all. While Dota does have a lot of mechanical skills, the things that matter the most is knowledge and intelligence. Mechanical skills alone won't get you far at all, while it certainly can in both Rocket League and CSGO. I don't know how much time you've spent playing Dota or LoL or any such game, but I highly doubt it's much.

    BrianS reacted to CommandMan7 in Net Neutrality wins, again: AT&T vows to take it to the Supreme Court   
    Today, the rigid net neutrality rules passed last year were upheld for the third time in a 2-1 vote, this time in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Many net neutrality advocates are correctly calling this a "slam dunk win" and a "victory for consumers". Those opposed, notably AT&T and Verizon, have vowed to continue the fight. AT&T legal counsel David McAtee has vowed to continue, stating
     
     
    Personal opinion: This is very good news, but not entirely unexpected. I think that although pro net neutrality has the clear advantage, it's not out of the woods yet. I am desparately hoping for the Supreme Court to accept to hear this case, solely so that they can put the final nail in the lid of any dispute. A positive Supreme Court ruling would be an amazing result, as their decisions set a rigid precedent over all lower courts and influence many other legal institutions worldwide.

    Yeah, do a stock benchmark of your strength while doing different exercises.  Then start overclocking slowly as you gain strength.
