Moving forward
The International usually affects everyone in a positive way; makes us more passionate about the game and strengthens our desire to succeed either in-game or in the surrounding industry. I'm no different, seeing the players on-stage competing from the audience was amazing, everyone gets so hyped up and supportive of the teams no matter who they are. Even the teams that placed the lowest were able to show their personality and receive love.
I've been playing Dota for 3 and a half years. I've climbed from 2.2k to my current 5.5k and I'm insanely fucking proud of that for how short a time I've been playing. A lot of people laugh when someone says they want to go pro - after all it's an insanely hard thing to achieve and requires a lot of hard work and dedication to the game, well, I want to do it anyway. I feel motivated, I have someone who wants to try with me so we can support each other, I know a lot of my current weaknesses and feel confident that I can work on them and rise up.
So here's my plan: I'm going to talk to the pros I know, work out a training schedule for myself, and then work as hard as humanly possible until I can break into the scene. I want to be the first woman to be actively competing in Dota, and I want to do it on a core role to set aside the negative stereotypes of women. It's gonna be hard as fuck but I want to try.
For my stream, it'll probably be a little less shits and giggles and a bit more replay watching and 1v1s, etc. I'll try and make it as interactive as I can to keep it entertaining. Speaking of, I'll start streaming again tomorrow so see you lads then. ;)
