i can't think of many things more stressful than having to worry about money/what you're going to do for money in the short term

so yea it counts for something but unless she (and when I say she, I am also saying all the other "pro" players not making money) truly gets a ton of life EV and doesn't get stressed about things that the vast majority of people get stressed about, i don't think it overtakes the negatives

She's basically shut down her chances of going to a top school, but maybe that wasn't within her reach anyway. Who knows?

God **** off blizzard, the ultra doesn't need a buff, it already got a massive buff for HotS and they're already strong enough against late game Protoss. Just admit the widow mine is a stupid unit and ****ing nerf it instead of trying all this other **** that's going to **** up the game.

I feel like a lot of people Protoss in the lower leagues might die to ultraling. It was pretty strong before, but well let`s see how it works out. I like the Overseerbuff a lot, guess they got the same speed as mutas then?

edit: nah they are not, might be an idea to make them as fast as mutas.

lol didnt realize that article was about kaitlyn. any time ive watched her stream she seems atrocious. definitely wouldn't have thought she played hard for a year and is only this good.

maybe she has family money? wouldnt have thought she was smart at all by listening to her, so maybe med school was a bit of a stretch.

o well, gl to her.

no idea why they felt ultras need 10% more hp. thats definitely not the problem

As a programmer I can confirm my brain is on her wavelength and she is smart.

not quite sure what that means. you are a programmer and she is an engineer/med school student and its good to be on the same wavelength?

bsball (I think) once said the way she talks sounds dumb/annoying, but to me it sounds fine/makes perfect sense, I think because our brains are similarly wired. Her undergrad was systems engineering I think which involves some programming.

ah alright. i guess i just assumed a different type of engineering. still have no idea how that translates to med school tho

i could see how that would be a thing, but put me on bsballs side. she just comes off as ditsy and simple, which i think would be a huge hindrance on ever having a career in esports. other than the guys who just watch her cause shes fairly attractive

any hot chick (kaitlyn isn't WOW hot but she's like a solid 8) that is like mid-plat has a future in gaming because nerds are pathetic. She can probably earn a living, a mediocre living and a temporary living, but still, just because she's an attractive girl who loves games and is actually good at them. lol esports I guess

Starcraft has been dying for like a year and a half now, so I think that means I killed it.

And yeah, my people love the msspytes and the kaitlyns. We are easily placated.

Sooo, GF's getting me a keyboard for my birthday... Ideas? No more than $75 tho, wouldn't want her to spend more than that on a keyboard. And I know they can get expensive.
