wait do people think mixup was trying to make some kind of statement by fucking around in a match that has literally 0 implications for the rest of the season

lmfao

last time they did this it was hilarious to watch and made for a way better match than them onclassing would have been

some of you guys are looking wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too far into this

Did you not read Platinum's earlier post?

The perspective changes i guess depending on if you consider offclassing like crazy is disrespectful to the other team and says to them that they're not worth fighting seriously, or that it's just a spot of fun that does no harm if nothing is truly at stake.

Why do people just assume I'm going to lay down and die.

apparently you didnt

Teams are always looking to get better. By off-classing you rob them of that opportunity, as well. Whether 6 cuties thought it was disrespectful or not is a whole other thing. When starting out I remember teams doing that to me and it was pretty annoying. I definitely try to not do it to other teams and would rather roll them than go huntsman.

I liked you and your team, but holy shit, just quit while you're ahead, sorry but that attitude is disgusting towards the community. I don't even mind the offclassing but that selfish whinny baby attitude is a shame...

Yeah right, like you guys did so much better with money on the line, epsilon wrecked the best NA team in i49 and all they have won in the past 6 seasons of ETF2L is fuckin headsets, are you even trying?

Please tell me what exactly I didn't read?

So I play a class that you determine is disrespectful and I get chastised, however you don't think it's disrespectful for ex invite players to offclass to something respectable and sandbag in open? I don't understand the logic behind that. If huntsman is so bad and disrespectful, it should have been easy as hell to push out and win the game, correct?

I mean, if mixup had offclassed to different cookie cutter classes like they did on gullywash I would agree that it might have been a closer match, but going two snipers and then no medic and building a sentry on the enemy's second is a whole other story. Knowing all of the players on 6c really well, I can say confidently that they're over the incident, but they definitely were not finding any enjoyment in it at first.

With practically no rosters available to hijack, they had no choice but to start off in Open. Quantum Flux is pretty much a full team of Invite players playing their mains, and yet they are not absolutely crushing every other top open team, or even mid IM teams.

And #40,see i46 where we actualy gave a shit and played more than an hour a day.

while it was disrespectful, whats the point of play video games if your not having fun?

You mean Seanbuds team saying they'll play only with sniper until they lose and then he plays scout? No, I think the whole thing is a pretty big shit show, they cut people to make sure they stayed at the top, they aren't there "just for fun" but clearly want to win.

I think it's a delicate situation, honestly. It isn't a big secret that there isn't too much competition between the top of invite and the bottom of invite. If the statement is "If I can go huntsman and they can't push out then these guys probably don't belong in invite" then I might agree with you. On the other hand, some team has to get to invite, you can't just be 4 teams there. It would seem to me that respect and opportunities to improve in game situations would be extended to them, since, any team that will get to invite will probably be in the lowerish half of invite. Like I said, I don't actually know whether 6 cuties took offense to it or felt it was disrespectful. I moreso took exception to your suggestion that going huntsman was a-ok because it wouldn't affect your possibility of making lan and, by extension, as "proof" that we need something to play for in order to take it seriously.

"ya u guys are assholes by not going out of ur way to help ur competition"

is that really what youre fucking saying

oh my god are you a real person

You're a special kind of stupid, kid. It's in everyone's best interest for the competition to get better. For more information, look at history (you can limit this to the past 100 or 1000 years, or maybe 2000 years, your call). iT wouldn't be iT if all they had to play against was vector gaming and 6 cuties.

noobies, that's less of a statement about mix^'s conduct and more of a statement about the state of invite and the competitive level therein.

He called you a kid what now mason????
Also whats your point, that makes no sense

this has got to be the worst week in tf2 history

iT is iT because they have 6 players who have worked really hard for a really long time to be as good as they are

they didnt fucking sit back and go "man i hope everybody who is way better than us comes and spoonfeeds us how to play high level comp tf2 just so that we can be competitive"

could you imagine some mid level team walking up to NiP or NaVi or TSM and saying "look you guys are raping too hard in this competitive, for pay format. please ease up off the gas teach us how to play so that you dont win as easily"

go stick your head a in a fucking blender if that doesnt make sense to you

believe it or not this isnt fucking t-ball where everybody wants everybody else to do well and then we go to dairy queen after and talk about our feelings

Don't worry, you'll cover some elementary literature analysis in grade 9. It'll come.

Or both? I already commented on this above.

Give me like 3 years im almost done middle school

Did some scrub say huntsman is disrespectable??!! You shittys better hope steven "stevec" chen doesn't read this

It's like you guys don't even want to read. I elaborated on what I meant when talking about disrespect for Platinum. A clarification. But i mentioned, twice I believe, that I didn't actually know whether they did or didn't so that ultimately it didn't matter. At the bottom I said what I personally took exception to.... which.. well.. you can go back and read it.

I don't think anyone came here to be upset by that, but then Platinum came here and acted like that was some sort of statement.

I don't think anyone cares either way, mate.
