main reason i dont think mill is a utilitarian deep down is that he makes enjoyable and humane psychological observations
this reminds me of an article i wrote about player evaluation in counter-strike for ESPN in a former lifetime

Replying to @JFreshHockey
we talk a lot about how the "eye test" can be heavily influenced by puck luck or point totals etc. but confirmation bias and narratives from fan communities are an underrated one
but there are clear pitfalls to avoid. it's easy for narratives to structure our inquiry when we perform player evaluations, and that leads to confirmation bias, motivated reasoning, and bad evaluation. the explanation should be the result of inquiry, not the beginning.

As we see a lot of big names moving around in this post-Major shuffle, I think this is a great time to reread a fantastic article @samwdelorme once wrote.

Wild to see the changing of the guard over the past year in CS:GO. Regional strength has dramatically changed.
Two years ago, no one would've guessed that France and NA would be (arguably) fielding stronger lineups than Brazil and Denmark.

As of today our good friend 🇮🇩Kevin "@xccurateCSGO" Susanto has been transferred to @BTRG_CSGO. We want to thank Kevin for his time with us, together we achieved a lot of great things including multiple major appearances and championships. Best of luck in your future Kevin.
For future work, I'm wondering what the pulse is on heatmaps. They're not utilized a great deal in written content, and I think they serve as clear and useful ways of communicating certain traits. What do you folks think?
As an example, see what I did with ESEA's heatmaps for the MDL Global Challenge last week: blog.esea.net/esea-mdl-gc-ju…
