while i believe my opinion on dom might be outdated now since he has showed remorse (or at least, pretended like he showed it) of how he has treated me in the past, i still have some kind of urge to post this even tho this happened a while ago
tl;dr VERY FLAWED personality and beliefs

dom was the worst influence i had in my first year and a half of playing comp and i realized this early back then but didnt have any friends back then so i kept being friends with him
his personality was being super negative about everything and very egotistical about a lot of things, often shittalking whoever he felt like from open players to players that have played a decent high levels, and sometimes his own friends that have known him for years behind their backs (sometimes just playful banter, sometimes hatred)
i never once remember in the million times i've played with him ever saying something like "i'm sorry" or "oh i fucked up", it was always his teammates fucking up and him dying because of that
this part mostly talks about my personal and horrible interactions with dom you can skip this part if you want to, but he often influenced and pushed me into doing certain things for his entretaiment while i took all the hate, while i'm not saying he's entirely the reason why i was a completely disliked by the community in 2016 to now, his company and influence didnt help either
but like i said before, he often blamed his or the team's mistakes on others, and because i was one of the worst players in his group of friends, i normally got shittalked by him and whoever was playing back then and slowly became into his scapegoat and a massive joke to everyone in his mumble, which overtime it did lower my selfsteem and developed some kind of trust issues that i still have today (or at least, i think i still have them), he also introduced me to certain people and because he shittalked me and kept talking about me badly to those people, those people's opinion was rather nagative
and from what i remember, basically the times he talked about his older teams he always blamed the team for certain loses or the general performance, from the time he played IM med to his open seasons, never seemed to think he made mistakes at all
also i heard some stuff around the block somewhat recently that he was gonna play scout at one point and he said he was gonna become one of the best scouts in open or something, it's a bit blurry for me and idk if that's even true so
there's also some other stuff he has done, some of the them not to me but to other people, but this post is already long as fuck so why make it even larger

i would like to think i know dom better than 99% of the community and i would say think twice before picking him, not saying to completely avoid him and despise him like i do/did, but just think twice after this post, maybe your interactions with him are better than mine
in terms of ingame, i have completely avoided him and any chance of interacting with him, so i really don't have any recent opinions on his fragging classes, but besides the problems i mentioned above, he was capable of playing at a respectable level (although don't expect him to be on a team to beat froyo anytime soon) and he has a voice that is loud and clear to maincall too so keep that in mind
