he spent 5 minutes calling everyone in his chat mongoloids the other day because they said after a certain point MMR is just a number

I get where he's coming from purely because if all you believe is that MMR is important, you're going to lash out at anyone that says otherwise.

The final verdict on Nahaz is as follows:

Nahaz is a smart guy and Stats Don't Lie is usually not too far from reality.
Nahaz has a well-defined role as a panel contributor when a moderator/host is able to corral him.
Nahaz needs to chill out about basically everything outside of those two things.

The Mafia outburst, his petty squabbles with other stats people, and his whine campaign against reddit have made him a pariah in the scene. Since everything is incredibly visible in the community, his being an outcast makes him toxic for any event he works, so hosts and planners are going to pass him up at any chance they can get.

Also, the fact that he is 40 and still unironically uses terms like "flame" or "ROFL" makes it really cringe inducing to see basically anything he does outside of stats analysis.

There's a podcast on Twitch right now with Cap, Blitz, Grant, Charlie, and Nahaz. Nahaz is going 1v4 defending the idea that we don't need to know how Belichick/Maddon/Popovich succeed as managers and coaches, just that they succeed having never played sports professionally. He's really going all on in the idea that he deserves to be at TI instead of a pro.

It's looking bad.

The REAL Goobusters posted:

My favorite thing are the angry (probably euro) Reddit comments that are mad at PPD because he was so direct and "mean." Even if it was just "theatrics" from Ppd, there's a large ring of truth to it.

Same thing when ppd called out 7ckingMad after the latter whined about NA Quals quality being worse than EU. Eurotrash flooded ppd's tweet with a lot of "you attacked him so you lost the argument" as if DOTA tweets adhere to HS Debate Club rules.

Note: EU crashed out of that TI pretty quickly and NA took 2nd and 3rd. ppd owns bones.
