DavyCoh come on mustard 100 seasons and that's your best one?

I suppose I could also throw in the time I played an ESEA match 3v6, which isn't technically supposed to even be allowed by the client

or the legend of DJ buttfart1

Round 2 of upward official. We get an okay offense time; fast forward to defense where we hold first for a while. Time's down half and suddenly our mumble crashes everyone is kicked, our demo and engi timeout, we lose second and third and on last our medic misclicks and loses uber.

all of this happened in 10 minutes

We took advantage of the enemy team being down a player and we rolled for 2 rounds but then they got a ringer and rolled us right back.

Played like hot trash at lan because the chair didn't have arm-rests + anxiety. I still choke with mad anxiety in games unless its something ive grinded out 1000 times.

S21 my first season of open as pocket, after winning the first match, team fell apart because the team leader was a dickhead and was also cheating, i couldnt find a team for the rest of that season because i was new to ESEA and didnt know anything.

our team didn't die because of him, it died because we had raze and me (2 medic mains with only UGC experience at the time) playing scout. We couldn't find players willing to stick together because of how bad we were

edit: I forgot, we also had grape juice when he was a pubber

highlander match got overturned because our pyro player was aimbotting (???)

another highlander match got overturned, in my favor this time, because when the other team was switching out their ringer for their main they played 10v9 for like a whole round somehow (???) and then their ringer sat in spec for a while too (???)

goronomy medic's cat was on his keyboard and pressed his killbind

This stuff is true. In the past my cats would play fight under my desk and I had my power supply turned off several times because of it and everything shut down instantly.

I had to rig my power supply so that can't happen anymore no matter how hard they play fight.

THEBILLDOZERI got cut from a team because my roommate blacklisted me from our router because I didn't have a job. Does that count
indecencyback when i was a scout main in my first season our demo suddenly went dark and didnt show up to our match

motherfucker msg'd us thru steam at the nearby library and was like he got into a fight with his mom because she was using his child support moneyI was also on this team. It was his disability money for his bpd and he tried to strangle his mom. Hope he's doing ok now tho, he was a good guy.

Also on this team.

The best part is we were one of the worst teams in open, and ended up playing a top 4 team featuring Evil Mr. Muffinz and I want to say trip.

Highlight of my TF2 career was backcapping mid on double spy with ulmyyx. I wonder if the match page still exists...

HL playoffs UGC season 25. Third map, cp_steel, our medic crashed twice during setup time. Other team forced us to unpause the second time because only 1 pause per half is what they have to accept, so we didn't have a medic for like 5 minutes of our offense - which is about the average time it takes for offense to complete their push. we only had the A point by the time our medic made it back in lmao

Does anyone remember that legendary dude who played in ESEA/ETF2L? ages ago, dude became homeless but was so dedicated to his team that he set up his PC on a bench outside a library and used their wi-fi??

DavyCI think we've all got a story about how come match day everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Try not to call anyone out I just want some good stories!

Back in 2013 I lost a highlander playoff match because our sniper decided to go to the movies instead of playing the match. (this was late 2013 so I suppose it may have been to see The Wolf of Wall Street?) This meant our pyro swapped to sniper, our heavy swapped to pyro, and our backup played heavy. All things considered we put up a good fight, but in retrospect what a sour way to end the season.

Could just @ me next time lol idc
