    Holyshit, i just realized recently that she's currently with "Red Bull OG" dota 2 team, to be honest i dont know what kind of impact she make there, but OG have just claim their 2nd "The International" Victory at TI9 and be the first team ever not only to win it twice, but also the first to succesfuly defend the title.

      Big impact. I've studied psychology myself and watched this ti and even though I'm more clinical oriented I could clearly tell how much those teams would profit from professional coaching.
      Then I saw og in the final and I knew they would win.
      And they I found out that they actually contracted her, which is just great. Many problems of our time will be solved through psychology. It still has a long way to go (I quit and went into self employment to progress faster) but eventually it will make a huge difference.
      And it can be tiny things. Make the players touch each other more often (non intimate of course) and you hugely increase team work. (because they identify their team mates as people again instead of objects. Reducing flame and increase empathy. You can observe that in regular sports where teams that clap and hug more have much better team coordination. We are still animals after all, nothing wrong with that it's just denial to think we would be different.

      @ciaojay7025 5 лет назад +3

      I think that is the problem of some teams. Especially VP. I think they're mentally weak. They're a very good team. They deserve to win TI but they always crumble

    • @dexyliciousMusik
      @dexyliciousMusik 4 года назад

      @@squareball7017 Actually not true. You can win in year x, next year some other team wins and are thereby the reigning champions. Afterwards you win again. Which makes you two time champions but you did not defend your first title. In short: with one win they kinda got both (first team who wins TI two times and first team to defend the title) achievements but either part is possible without the other one.

    They had the talent, they put in the efforts in the right direction and that's how they created their own legacy. The Astralis Era. You hated to see them win, because it wasn't fun to watch seeing the same team win. But they deserved, every bit of that success. 🙌 This goes to show that the right amount of work put in the right direction can yield exponential returns ❤

    I feel like health and fitness is extremely beneficial for something like esports. Having the proper diet and exercise will have your brain working at it's best which is obviously a game changer in an event as huge as this. A lot of people try to discredit this from being an actual sport, but fuck that. This take a great deal of brain power and if your not and your best health wise, good luck.
