play in his first TI today is such a blessing. That his team finished top 8 in the world makes it all even sweeter. The future is bright, kiddo.
So proud of you, Nico. Que orgullo, mijo 🥰🥰🥰
And THIS is why the changes to DPC matter. Through open qualifiers to winning The International. We watched

live out a dream. It was beautiful! Congratulations, boys! 🎉🎉🎉
On this big birthday milestone, I’m remembering when you played a PC videogame for the very first time. You were just an adorable and inquisitive 2-year-old boy. Somehow, you managed to work the mouse and keyboard with those chubby little toddler hands.
Life is so fragile. Value the important people in your life while you can. Don't hold back. Say the things. ❤️
I love you. I'm sorry. You're amazing. You mean a lot to me. Thank you. I'm lucky to have you in my life. Just say all the things to those who matter. All the things.
Little did I know that Secret Agent Barbie, your sister’s favorite game, would mark the first of many times throughout the years that I would watch you play videogames. I love that I get to see you do what you adore. That won’t ever change.

Absolutely. In NA/SA, dota is a labor of love fueled by pure passion. Mostly unsponsored teams. Fewer tournaments. Smaller prize pools. And still, they grind on.
Thank you for supporting the scene. It means everything! ❤️

Boy, this esports business can be so brutal. Fortunately, there are some very fine and noble people in the business too-- you know who you are. Your kindness and support are much appreciated and won't be forgotten.
I love this oak tree. I love the big bend in the otherwise straight trunk. It tells the story of a terrible storm and finding the will and the way to keep going. This curved little tree refused to give up. It found a way.
Everyone's wondering about shuffles and teams and the new season and such. Meanwhile, I'm just thinking about important stuff. Like when is

Perhaps the convergence of so many terrible and frightening global events is an opportunity to evolve. Own up to our transgressions. Do better. Be kinder. Have empathy. Be respectful. Listen to each other.
It’s painful. It’s hard work. It’s uncomfortable. It’s messy. It’s time.

These boys, showing up and teaching us how to live our best lives. Respect.
Yesterday, I cuddled up next to my girls and listened to

and cried. My children lost their grandma, my mom, Marjorie, this year. Our hearts have been so broken. But this song will evermore remind us that she still speaks to us. We just need to listen.
