That's exactly why I'm looking for older matches, I've spent the last few months trying to write little articles on how and why the meta's evolved on various maps (gully, blands, gran) but I haven't been happy with any of my drafts so I'm going back to the drawing board.

I've been trying to watch matches from ESEA S4-8, and I'm having difficulties. Outside of the old extv and MGE casts and the x6 demos from S8, I haven't been able to find anything else of use. I realize that older demos might not be able to run, but if anyone knows of anything at all that could still be viewed I'd really appreciate it. I know a few people have said Harbleu has some POVs from S6 or so but I've searched for hours and never been able to find them. Ideally I'm looking for high level 6s matches but I'm not picky.

Bump.

My greatest claim to fame is that I once performed onstage with Otis Redding's grandson.

If you're from SoCal you'll be fine. It's not great, but even the Bay Area is nothing compared to Southern California. Davis to Sacramento is like 10-15 minutes, maybe 30 minutes during rush hour. At least in the time I spent there.

Edit: Apparently most folks in their mid-20s live around 14th and P by Southside Park, 20th and H, or East Sac/Land Park area.

Davis is very close and also largely a student town. You can see that as a positive or negative. I'll check with my friends from Sacramento (I used to live nearby) and see what the town's like nowadays.

fatswimdude was probably the most dedicated player on our team last season (not that that's saying much) and deserves a better home. Don't let his shitposting fool you, he loves the game, is a solid and entertaining teammate, and is clearly keen enough to improve quickly given the right fit.

Hey folks, I'm quitting HL next season and looking to focus all my attention on ESEA. I technically have a season of experience in ESEA but the team was an unmitigated disaster and died halfway through the season. I have a couple more seasons in UGC 6s and think I'd be comfortable in low Open. I'd like to be mid Open by the end of the season. We'll see if that happens.

Medic is my main. I've maincalled for nearly all of my teams but would be fine letting someone else call for the team if that's your style. I like healing scouts and I probably don't use arrows as much as I should.

I've played less scout but I'm currently looking for employment, meaning that I can grind DM and MGE all day and I'm hoping that my mechanics will improve. In general I'd say my scout gamesense is stronger than my mechanics.

My ideal team would have a fairly heavy scrim schedule on weeknights, and would have folks who enjoy the game enough to hop in mumble and review demos together during the day if they have time. I'm on EST and pretty much free all day except for 5:30-8:30ish.

I'm a friendly redneck. I like Texas, country music, and cooking, and I'm not a fan of anime.

I'd like to think I could be better than my previous seasons indicate. Give me a shot, my steam account is Sam Houston.

Looking for a team to backup for that would actually need me. Think I can play mid-open if you give me the chance. Would be willing to start if your main dropped out. Can pay my fees.

No longer LFT.

With the CZ Valve did end up nerfing the weapon to be more acceptable with competitive play though, it wasn't a fast nerf but it did come through eventually. Valve historically hasn't cared about balancing for comp in TF2, meaning we can't tough out the updates and expect things to be balanced out in a reasonable timeframe. If that changes now, that'll be exciting and we can hope Valve pays more attention to comp balance with the upcoming MM features, but I can understand the reticence to allow these weapons/mechanics at this point.

Hey, this might not be the best forum to find a team as most of this website is devoted to 6s play. If you're looking for a HL team, I'd suggest the UGC recruiting forums or r/tf2lft. You might also have some difficulties as the season is halfway through, but I'm sure there are a few teams looking for subs and the like. Best of luck!

My HL team gave me an Aussie Pro Killstreak medigun out of appreciation for the work/research I was doing for the team. It was incredibly kind of them. I never do any trading and don't put too much stock in reskins, but I definitely treasure that item because of the thoughts behind it.

What's the issue with it though? Especially because e-sports teams don't have the same geographic focus that IRL sports do, how else should you decide which team you like? I don't think there's anything wrong with pulling for the teams that know how to play better than other teams, skilled CS is always more fun to watch than teams that don't know what they're doing.

As much as I'm pulling for C9 that's more on the organizers than fnatic. If 100k was on the line and I happened to overhear strats I'm not sure if I could force myself to pretend I didn't hear it. Obviously work needs to be done in the future to prevent these sorts of issues though, the tourney has had too many of them. Along with the whole unable to pause thing.

- Dropped weapons now retain their ammo and ÜberCharge levels unless the player commits suicide

why

Does pistol seem a lot more accurate to people? It seems a lot better to me and other people have told me the same.

You still drop 100 ammo on death, no? Just in an ammo box instead of a gun?
