FLY Inspired: I could tell that [Gen.G players] were nervous, that they don't play as clean as I expected them to. That's why after game one, I was like -- "Wow, actually, maybe, it's winable. They are also humans and they are also making mistakes." | Ashley Kang

A bit of context for anyone who hasn’t played Dota 2: Here a player (Rainino) is telling another player (Gh) that he’s good at the character he played (ES/Earth Spirit) but not nearly good enough to compete at the biggest Dota 2 tournament in the world (TI/The International). Gh then replies that if the other player were to check their game there is a digital copy of the tournament’s trophy with his name on it since he was on the team that most recently won at the time (with a shared prize pool of over $10,000,000).

This screenshot was posted by Rainino themselves on the Dota 2 subreddit but I thought it fit perfectly here!
