I love your team name! What were some other options that didn't make the cut?

Cristal1337 OP t1_iz21qox wrote

There were no other options. Someone on Reddit suggested it and everyone loved it so much that we stuck with it.

I'll take the opportunity to ask, do you partner with any visually impaired gaming networks? I'm looking for myself

We don't, but maybe you could ask BlindWarriorSven. He is a professional Street Fighter player who is completely blind.

How does that work, serious question 🤔

Cristal1337 OP t1_iz5dpnt wrote

As some has pointed out, sound cues. However, SF in particular has an excellent 3d sound stage. Blind people can hear and identify everything that happens in the game, including how far away the opponent is standing.

Some people rely totally on sound for hit confirms, blind or not. Spacing would be an issue though.

Hello there, I'll certainly take you up on that offer!

Are there any genres that prove especially challenging, and are there any companies/titles/communities that stand out in combating them challenges?

Cristal1337 OP t1_iz2byqh wrote

High dexterity games like first person shooters are particularly challenging for many people with physical disabilities. On the other end of the spectrum are turn based games like chess and MTG Arena, that can be done by practically anyone.

To my knowledge, Psyonix is working together with AbleGamers to optimize Rocket League for adaptive gear, like the Xbox Adaptive Controller. Also, recently LogitecG started organizing Rocket League tournaments for disabled gamers with total prize pool of $50k. Honorable mentions go to SpecialEffect, Intel, Razer and a handful of smaller developers.

What's your go-to dota hero

Cristal1337 OP t1_iz2j8fl wrote

It used to be Lich, but then Valve removed Sacrifice. Ever since I've been playing whatever feels right for the situation. That said, I naturally tend to play annoying heroes. I think a close second is probably Venomancer.

Thoughts on performance enhancing drugs? Any hot takes?

No hot takes. Performance enhancing drugs are not worth the risks.

You think an e sports team owner is going to say he endorses popping adderall before a game?

Maybe they have other types of PEDs that are relevant to their games and or disabilities

I loved hearing about this team! Wish you guys all the best and hope to hear from you soon. I have a couple of questions, what is your favorite dota hero? also, if you could remove an item from the game, what would it be?

Anyone on the team enjoying the collapse of the graphics card market and doing some custom builds?

What's your favourite solo queue hero in DotA?

Cristal1337 OP t1_iz5gr8k wrote

For sanity's sake, never cue alone :P

However, to answer your question. There are a couple of things I enjoy a lot in DotA. Bullying the lane, pushing lanes and big team fight ultimates. So either Tidehunter, Venomancer or Jakiro...depending on the situation.

Hi, I’m a physical therapy student and would love to get involved with the team somehow. My two greatest passions are gaming and physical therapy so seeing people be able to attain my personal goals is amazing.
