Garbage decision from USA swimming. Stop being cowards and just let us swim. You don't need to assign "compliance officers" to assess whether a trans woman has met your arbitrary medical standards FOR THREE YEARS before you let her participate at the "elite level".
More swimming news today.

Part two of ddk's essay has been released today! Takes concepts from the first essay and builds them out in the context of time within a round. I'm really happy to see this kind of work being published to start building the common vocabulary of strategic concepts in esports.
How To Think About Tactical FPS pt. 2 https://t.co/ZnHKKpvtbq This time the focus is smaller and we talk about thinking in terms of "early-round, mid-round and late-round"

Brilliance is almost always brief in valorant, which is good. Something that's super valuable about the round based structure is that it gives predictable time for digestion after a round concludes. Even if a round is full of action, there will be a point at which it ends and we
