consumonnCorsaNot sure what exactly is happening with this but if this is actually a usual tourney like cs, so many people have said it already: low level teams have to sign up or it'll die, and here's your reason. AvastNothing is wrong with lower level teams wanting to play against people closer to your skill level as practice but don't act surprised/disappointed when these cups die because you don't sign up.
Fact #1: if more open teams just signed up for the cups they would be not only be enjoyable for lower level teams but more successful.
Fact #2: games you get stomped on by super strong teams you can still learn instead of whining about how much better they are than you I gurantee from first hand experience and the experience of many others
There is an online cup for OW tomorrow where many of the current professional teams will be playing (like 4 or more) and they are leagues better than everyone else currently. Guess how many teams there are? 64. They know they're going to get smashed (I wanted to play and get smashed too but it filled too quickly) yet everyone is eagerly going to play Bc the point of cups as a low level team is exposure and improvement.
the only thing holding back these cups for being enjoyable for low level teams is the low level teams
On top of this, matches are good practice even if you're going to lose; teams play differently in matches than scrims, and the more you play matches, the more comfortable you'll be (if you tend to get nervous).
I fully agree. I'm a trash-tier Iron player, but I want to see TF2 grow, and I don't care if I get my ass kicked by players better than me, because it's for the community. So I signed right the fuck up and am trying to get others to do the same.
Best way to improve is by playing people better than you in my opinion. Good players will expose more holes in your gameplay and you'll come out of the game with a long list of things you need to do to get better. You tick a few things off that list then get destroyed again. Rinse and repeat until prem.

ShankyI'm not familiar with Faceit. What are the odds of AUS/NZ support? Because if this has AUS/NZ support I'm going to be all over it.
pretty sure csgo has aus/nz support

Don't worry AU/NZ friends. Also I wouldn't be surprised if South America and Asia support will follow

Dont worry about it not having enough exposure, in faceit you can play for hardware, and we all know how attentive tf2 gamers get when prizes involve mice.

mdvwill dx8 be allowed?
To my knowledge there is no server command that can limit dxlevel outside of the matchmaking beta. And even if there is/will be they're listening to feedback from the community. People in the discord are working on a spreadsheet with suggestions for faceit and that is included in there. So even if such a command were to be added they wouldn't force it after seeing the community likes dx8

to be honest its easy to force people use specific dxlevels as long as the server is running SourceMod
ive played cs:s with mat_dxlevel 70 for a while, and while half of the servers i joined blocked the dxlevel and kicked me out with the message for me to switch to at least 80, other half of the servers worked just fine

Anyone can suggest additions and changes to the doc. So if you think something should definitely be added make a suggestion in the doc and/or the #suggestions-feedback channel in the TF2 faceit discord. There's always room for improvement https://discord.gg/013dP1BU6B57MVO4a

There doesn't seem to be any mention of all the various server settings in config files the leagues require run on their servers. Like the no jumping in freeze time, no wait commands, etc.
Edit: I meant the command to disable the new "no jumping in freeze time". Also no mention of p-rec-like features?

You are correct. I added a new section behind the Taunts/Cosmetics section about Server Configs (because that's about Whitelists so might as well group all the config stuff together)
Thanks :)
There's mention of the usage of the demos.tf plug-in and TFTrue for automatically recording STVs if that's what you mean with p-rec-like features. One of the FACEIT devs in the discord also coded for the tftrue plug-in so I think they know about that already though

Btw does it mention pauses? Or are faceit used to addressing that from csgo?

the google doc recommends setting teammate glow seconds to 0 instead of 10
I actually use this feature and it helps me know what's going on when I spawn
very rarely does this screw over disguised spies and saying I shouldn't be able to use this setting because it doesn't work on dx8 is like saying we should limit everyone to lowered fov 4:3 resolution because not everyone has widescreen monitors and people with widescreen would have an fov advantage.
if someone has to decide whether or not to switch to dx9 from dx8 because of teammate glow let them make that decision, instead of catering to them by forcing everyone to use the old no-glow system

i think the biggest way someone who plays spy is screwed over is by playing spy in the first place

I think it's hud dependent, but you can see teammate healthbars and names for a few seconds after spawn on dx8

I think I'm to blame for that. Someone submitted a lot of info about plug-ins because whitelists/tftrue were mentioned and I approved it without seperating everything. Fixed now

I agree. The reason why it's mentioned there is because some EU people tested it when the feature was added. They recommend putting it at 5. I only wrote the negatives for now because I wasn't part of the tests so I don't really know what I should write for the positives. I'll ask the person that wanted the setting to be mentioned to write something up

honestly I can't wait for this, I saw a Russian lmaobox user calling faceit's anticheat bad.
I wonder how he'll feel when he tries to use lmaobox with 2 fov and get banned anyway + get his config sigged by faceit
