I'd actually be ok with froyo not going at all so we don't have a shit-show whitewash final like last time. In terms of excitement and skilled, even games, we need more "Mixup^ vs Immunity" type matches, less "Froyo vs Epsilon".

The Epsilon vs Froyo group stage game was pretty good.

The whole point of the I-Series tf2 lan is to see what team can prove to be the best in the world. Considering froyo has arguably the best 6 players in NA on there respective classes I don't get how it would be beneficial to not welcome froyo into i55 as they've all proven them selves worthy in being able to play in that tournament. Plus there will still be those games like the "Mixup^ vs Immunity" ones even if they do decide to come.

I don't think anyone is crazy enough to argue froyo isn't "worthy" to be at an i series LAN. I'm looking at it more from the "promoting comp tf2 to the world" angle. The finals reached the most eyeballs with the highest viewership iirc, and for anyone new coming in it was just a quick wash and then it was over. I'm not going to bitch if froyo goes because "america fuck yeah", I'm just saying its not the end of the world if they don't.
Also its mostly just me posting after being exhausted after work, so ignore the ramblings of a mad man if you so desire.

Is there a fundraiser or anything to give in to in order to get the NA teams over?
Sorry I don't know what's happening too well, I only got into the competitive scene following over the winter. I just want to support a really awesome LAN.

Not just yet. Within the month perhaps, or a little later.

I-series is "spiritually" the TF2 World Championships - 3 Multi National LANs isn't something to choke about.
With any sport, you have events every year and different levels of competitions, I think TF2 wins if the best team wins, not if the event is spectacular. It's really up to Froyotech to make this happen, they are the best team in the world, they are the reigning champions of the world, so if they choose to come to i55 and roll the Euros and whoever else we fund over, good for them, good for the "sport" of TF2.
Froyotech don't have much to prove but by simply turning up to the event they will raise the stakes, because at i55 with no International teams it will turn into a European Championship (which will be fine as a later article I will publish will tell you), but less hype.
If you think of all the great sporting teams or individuals that dominate their era, some years they win with better competition, some years they roll the competition and you have to sit there and admire their genius. That's why Froyotech coming to i55 would be a great thing, skipping a year doesn't do anything healthy, though individuals might be in a better position financially for the next year, but what if there isn't a next year? I can't see how not having the best team turn up to the biggest and best TF2 event in the year can be anything except unhelpful for the scene.

TF2 will either grow or wither in the next year. Whatever we do in the next 4 months is either going to help or have absolutely no impact one way or the other.

I don't understand why skipping i55 would do any good at all. Get froyo to i55 ffs

If froyo personally don't want to come to i55 I get it although there might be more motivation now that matchmaking is a thing. I don't think people should say no if they want to for practical/time reasons. Other NA teams seem to have expressed an interest too, if froyo don't want to come let's at least get a fundraiser for them.

we need teams like froyo at the average/lackluster events in order to validate the great ones

someone should talk to valve about a blog post for i55, not just a community written "news" thing that is on a seperate tab...that way it would be on the frontpage of the tf website and on the main menu of the game

I managed to convince my dad to drive me there (its gonna be a long ride) but we aren't doing too well on money and I really wanna go to this lan. If anyone wants to hug me or beat me up (the latter probably) I would be really grateful if you donated a little. Its totally up to you how much you donate. I really just need some for the tickets themselves mostly. You don't have to donate this is just for friends who want to see me there and for frenchies to beat me up at last.
