Do you mean ESEA? If so, specify and I'll answer. Otherwise my first LAN was Showdown LAN 2008 in Peoria, IL. I picked up TecH at the airport, he was the first person I ever met from the internet. It was a BYOC and his case was cracked from the flight. So when we got to the hotel we plugged it in to make sure it worked and his fans blew about a pound of cigarette ashes everywhere, it was disgusting. At the actual LAN there was a 5v5 TF2 tournament. I played with TecH, Nightmare`HX and two guys from BB (Bukkake Baptism, still one of the best team names). We played against BB in the finals and won $1200 processors. We had asked oPlaiD to play with us, but he was in the COD4 tournament and thought he was going to win the same prize, but he got 2nd and won some $50 computer case.

I do. I can. He lives about 20 minutes from me.

What makes anyone interested in anything? I'm not sure how to answer that, I've always enjoyed watching frag videos and it's not difficult to get into. It's just something I do for fun.

I listen to so much music it would be impossible to answer that honestly. These artists always seem to make it into my rotation though: lcd soundsystem / tycho / phantogram / tom day / yppah / emancipator / bonobo.

I'm always open to playing, I thought I would be this season. If the opportunity presents itself then I will, but I don't actively seek teams. I just enjoy playing with people I like.

I think the risk/reward calculations are better understood. In some aspects the game has been sped up because people understand their advantages better. On the flip side, those advantages are often defensive ones.

I do know who bookshe1f is, but I'm not sure he wants his identity revealed.

I knew immediately what happened, believe it or not I was aiming at the medic. I didn't know if it went through tri's legs or not - we loaded up the demo right after the match and watched it with everyone at like 5% speed, it was pretty funny.

I think if both teams play to their full potential, mixup will win.

Ass.

TF2 isn't going anywhere, it's free to play and has a massive player base with no similar games coming out to directly compete with it in the foreseeable future. Also, competitive TF2 is a lot bigger than meets the eye. There's just a huge division of players across esea, cevo, ugc, mlg, 6v6, 8v8 (used to be), 9v9, etc. which I think is the major issue, and seems to be overlooked by everyone.

I'm 6'4" and 230 lbs, how far could you throw me?

I often wear hats when playing, although I think I only wore that to one LAN.

None.

It's Friday - about half of my office was gone, watched a lot of documentaries at work.

I think the leagues are an irrelevant platform, the people are what make it successful. Splitting the community even further is risky, but so is putting all your eggs in one basket. CEVO will be as successful as people want it to be.

Pumpkin.

I have no idea, I'll try to think of something.

Meet up with Bill Murray.

ninjanick.

I didn't know Baby Gap custom tailored jackets.

favorite play you made in tf2?

Who has the maddest hops in tf2?

I think Mousesports 2008 was really well made, especially for it's time, even though I think CS is awful. Other than that, anything by entik/subtitled (decap is shit).

i7 2600k / GTX 560 Ti / 8 GB / Corsair PSU / Asus Mobo

The very first ESEA TF2 LAN (Season 5), everyone was set up and it was Pandemic vs coL on viaduct. Brad came over to me right before we started and was joking about how I might hit a few headshots on him. The very first shot of the match was a headshot on him, dunked on.

who is the deadliest gamer you have played against?

1. TF2 PLayer
2. Quake live player

he said he knows rapha soooooo

Who would you most be excited to see make a return to TF2 competitively and why?

how many heavies at dropdown

I don't know if this is widely known to everyone except me but does your competitive history begin with TF2?

best scout in invite this season

If you lose to a team...

Is it more of your team being awful than them playing well?

Whats your preferred model/year of an automobile?

What state do you live in?

Are you a good sniper?

what is your hud and mouse?

why do you main scout as opposed to the other classes?

why did you not join -AA-?

DaHanG is the best overall FPS player I've played with/against.

Any teammate I've played with at LAN, they're all fun people. To give you some perspective on what invite TF2 currently is, here's a list of players that I played on a team with at LAN that don't currently play invite. fragile, shade, ww, fanom, kermit(lol), orzo, saber07, ruwin(lol), carnage, relic, oplaid, sweater, ryanr, dummy, pyyyyour, seanbud, zbryan. I think all those players are still upper invite caliber too, which is sad for tf2 :<.

There are two heavies at dropdown. Two.

I played a lot of Quake 2 at the highest level in duel/tdm/ctf/ca.

It's a team game, but I don't think there's a scout that stands out above everyone else this season of invite.

It certainly can be.

Ferrari 250 GT SWB

Chicago, IL.

I don't think so.

It's all relative.

I use Community HUD and G400.

Scout is the fastest/least boring. I (still) don't understand the point of -AA- and I was never asked.

.

Where do you live in chicago?

what dpi do you use?

cats or dogs

.

is pyro viable

Of the frag movies you made, do you have a favourite, or one that was the most fun to work on? (or both)

Why are you so fun to hangout with in real life?

Yeah I meant ESEA LAN but that other answer was good.

What are some commonly overlooked qualities that are required to be one of the best players?
