Yep, this is my argument exactly. If you can ban someone for basically "life" online because they made ONE post disagreeing with your policies and it's considered OKAY, we're basically in the age of internet censorship. Pat's been involved (therefore paid a LOT of fucking money) with ESEA for a long time. It's just unacceptable to me.

I don't understand though, someone who's played ESEA for 10+ seasons including in invite gets banned because he criticizes an admin, but the "anti-cheat" client lets players with VAC bans on account continue playing?

I'm just extremely confused.
#223 this is not new

I'm confused as to which part isn't new: The anti-cheat client not working, or the admin abuse.

Good on you.

I hope at this point saying "We're done with ESEA" is just agreed upon.

Since we all know the Invite players want to go to LAN and that's not going to change, can we as a community step up for once? Can the non-invite leagues band together and get a system in place to finish the season off-client? We can have our own playoffs, the community can help with scheduling, and we can finish the season we've already started without having to pay premium/fees anymore.

There's probably better solutions, but getting a system in place, even if it's leapfrogging off a system we already have, is better than giving this sad excuse of a company any more money. I'm done paying for malware.

Ahaha I remember in a pug a few weeks ago I called this fucking idiot out and he had nothing to say for himself.

Incoming phrak response.

Jesus yes.

Exactly my point. If you're in invite you should be able to stomp lobbies anyway. I don't understand how using cheats gets you a "quick laugh". It's spitting in the face of the community because you know you might get caught but you do it anyway. That's why it's ego inflating. Back in the day we were always told that Invite players were supposed to be representative to the community. No flaming, no hatespeak, etc etc. I guess that's changed.

That being said, I'm pretty sure no one thought fagature was good before this shitstorm anyways, so I guess back to normal then.

But why mess around and cheat when you're in invite? You know the risks, you know you might get caught. You're playing with fire. The logic to do this is just astounding, but I guess shitlords will do anything to inflate their egos.

This thread has been a real pleasure.

The process itself isn't even running, so it's not in the lower tab. Also, he's running as admin.

Yes.

Teammate is having an issue with ESEA client. It installs, but when he runs it, the process runs for 3 seconds and then immediately shuts off. It doesn't update, it doesn't ask language or setup shit or anything. No GUI pops up.

He's uninstalled and re-installed 5x. Followed the shwan video's steps. Updated .net framework.

Anyone else have ideas?

I could always do map previews, I've done them before and people seemed to like them.

A really fun team to play with. In a lot of ways, I hope they don't find a demo because then they'd be forced to stick with me and my limited time.

Anyways, if these guys do decide to part ways with me, I wish them the very best. Very few nights without a ton of laughs, good practice, and great memories.

Also, Zephyr was probably the best scout in open this season and he played with sometimes unplayable ping. One of the best scouts I've played w/ in any season.

<3 kig.
