After 6 unforgettable years with Team Liquid, @insan1a is retiring from professional Dota 2.
His story comes full circle after lifting the Aegis at TI 2024, a moment that will always be a defining part of our teamโs history. Weโre so honored to be the team where he chose to close this chapter, and grateful for every year he spent representing us. Few can say they have achieved the pinnacle of their craft, and even fewer can say they did it while being adored by everyone they crossed paths with. Aydin is among that rare few, and every person he interacted with was affected for the better.
Weโll be sharing something special soon to honor his legacy, but for now, we express our deepest gratitude and wish him every success in the future. ๐
The key to maintaining weight loss?
Exercise.
A study found that people who kept weight off long-term didnโt rely on eating less, they burned more with:
๐ 30% higher physical activity energy expenditure
๐ถ ~12,000 steps/day
After 21 hours of sleep deprivation, a single large dose of creatine (0.35 g/kg) can reverse the decline in cognitive performance and even improve it
For an 80 kg person that would be 28 grams of creatine

It is often assumed that every adaptation dissipates at the same rate during detraining. This is not true. We can see from this study that muscle hypertrophy dissipates much faster than many other adaptations that contribute to strength gains.

Bro really:
-scored an insane last minute solo winner in a 4-3 thriller against Wolves.
-scored a screamer against Liverpool.
-scored the winner and won the trophy in a Manchester Derby Fa Cup final.
All in his first season as a teenager. Industry plant.
A photograph taken by Osman Sigirli in Syria in 2015 shows a four-year-old girl raising her hands in the air, mistakenly believing that the telephoto lens he was using was a gun.
After the image went viral, Osman said: โI realised she was terrified after I took it, and looked at the picture, because she bit her lips and raised her hands. Normally kids run away, hide their faces or smile when they see a camera.โ
Take the stairs to boost your VO2max?
Inactive adults who did 3 bouts of โall-outโ stair climbing (6 flights in ~30-seconds) on 3 days per week improved their VO2max by 7% after 6 weeks.
Simple (and not easy), but effective.

This photo was taken by a paramedic in 2015 outside of a hospital. It depicts an ER doctor who stepped outside to cry after losing a 19-year-old patient. Minutes later, the doctor walked back in with his head held high ready to continue working.
