omnificAccording to EoN's post, you can choose between 6's, Highlander, 4's, Arena Respawn, etc
This is how rumours are formed... He quoted extine's vlog as his source, where extine only mentioned that it's not decided yet and might start as something like 9v9 without class limits.

omnificdashneromnificJust remember to not get too ahead of yourselves. Sorry to tell you guys but Valve has already said that they don't wanna work with 6's due to the inflexibility of the metagame. So if it's anything, it'll be highlander. Remember that in CS, everyone hates the autosniper, yet it still gets used in competitive because valve sponsors the tournaments. If history repeats itself, we might have baby face's blaster scouts and tide turner demomen. It won't be as good as pugs, and probably not as good as lobbies. What it provides is some exposure, which we desperately need. People like Muselk will make videos of competetive matchmaking, more people will put playcomp.tf in their names, etc.
Basically don't get TOO happy, but get psyched.
You don't know what you're talking about. Please wait until the fully charged episode on Friday where things like this will be addressed by the people who spoke to valve.
Well Valve in the past has said that they don't think 6's is the future of matchmaking, but that might have changed (to match the 6v6 that overwatch has). The rest is speculation, simply and purely. I'm excited for competitive matchmaking, as we all are. Probably shouldn't have made that post though, sorry guys.
Seems like a completely reasonable point to me. I wouldn't be surprised if (part of) the reason information is staying so scarce till FC is because there's still plenty of "buts" from Valve that need wrapping up in ribbon.

Definitely a picture that represents competitive
"Do we have any pictures of Competitive TF2?"
"no"
"Quick! Hop on a valve server and let's take a picture!"

They probably had this picture on hand or found it quickly, I doubt they have time to join a game and take a screenshot. They want to get the article up as fast as possible.

Are you kidding me? Gone will be the fat scouts, the shotgun only players, the melee fights, the entire team of SMG snipers, and other methods of dicking around in general, because no one will want to hurt their precious ranking. And all those who still try to do things like rancho relaxo in high places, friendly heavy, and conga will be slain immediately because then people get more kills, which helps thier ranking. In addition, now we have to play with people at the same skill level as us, and only people at the same skill level as us. The way you get better is to play better players, and with competitive matchmaking that won't be possible.

one thing that really makes me happy is that people who stream tf2 such as b4nny and war will get a lot more support within their channels and might even be able to make enough from streaming to make it a viable way of making money.
Another thing is that with the influx of comp players that this may cause will mean that people who already play will be considered the best in the game; will we see an international LAN series such as Katowice where we get to see players such as Clock, KnoxXx, Mirelin and Shade? With this, it is entirely possible.
gj boys, we did it.

I can see it now. Valve releases TF2 match making tomorrow. The gaming community shits their pants because their beloved hat simulator can finally be played in a pseudo competitive environment so they can tell themselves they're good. The game grows exponentially overnight surpassing CSGO almost instantly.
Over the course of the next month TF2 overtakes Dota 2 in numbers. Valve cancels The International and creates The TeamFortress Matchmaking Extravaganza Tournament. The entire Dota 2 dev team leaves Dota 2 for TF2 because people at Valve can work at whatever they want for some stupid reason. The 2 CSGO devs and the 1 intern also migrate to TF2 after realizing what a unique opportunity they've been presented with. After seeing their peers make such a leap, every single employee of Valve starts to work on TF2. With no one working on any other games or projects, all Valve franchises die except for glorious TF2. Valve renames themselves to TeamFortress Inc. Source 2 is never released, but it's for the best, because that is part of the charm of TF2, hitting half the shots you didn't deserve and missing half the shots you did.
President Obama realizing what a unique and fantastic game TF2 is declares April 30th TF2 day stating, "I have never in my life played such a fine game with such an abundance of hats, it is my honor and privilege to declare this glorious day that TF2 matchmaking was released, TeamFortress day, and the following 9 days will be named after each class, and there will be massive parties on every street corner in the United States which I will pay for myself, and by myself I mean I will tax you more".
2 years since TF2 matchmaking was released it is a worldwide sensation. There are no more sports, no football, no soccer, no baseball, everything is gone, there is just TF2. The prize pool for The TeamFortress Matchmaking Extravaganza Tournament's increases to 11 billion dollars. Entire lives are dedicated to the game of TF2, perfecting the art of rocket jumping, or right clicking to blow up some stickies, or flicking your mouse at air but getting the hit because his hitbox is actually there server side. The game seems to have no bounds.
3 years later Gaben is voted president of the world, garnering 8.5 billion votes in favor of him. The remaining 500 million people are then executed.
1 year later Gaben's impending heart disease finally catches up with him. The world weeps as they await the terrible news of the passing of their leader. Gaben is surrounded by his 600 children, all with prostitutes, and smiles seeing how the world has changed for the better because of him, but weeps knowing that no one can replace him. As he prepares to take his final breath a light shines down from the heavens. God himself speaks. "Gabe Newell, you are a man of infinite worth to this world, your accomplishments in life has touched the lives of 9.5 billion people...and I hope that your accomplishments in death will do the same." Gaben slowly lifts out of his bed, drifting towards the sky. His 600 children stand in shock not being able to process what is happening. But Gaben can. He knows that he has achieved godhood. As he makes his way to the heavens he looks back as a mortal being one last time, smiles down at his children, and says his final words. "Tomorrow is the release date of Half Life 3." And with that he departs.
Or the game will die because it's shit.

You see, not all games will be competitive. This is the way Counter Strike works.
Just because of competitive matchmaking, these things will not vanish in a cloud of smoke
People with a brain will not give a shit about their rankings. Just like in CS, they have no relevance to how good you are and are sometimes luck based.
Why would you play as a fat scout, shotgun only pyro, melee only, or smg sniper in a competitive setting anyways
