where do you even find someone to play against in pk to practice

I recall him talking about living in one of his random texas properties. probably friendly shit talk somehow turned into a thing

yo fuck i thought this was a joke for a sec

apparently it isn't and that's pretty damn cool actually

Some people take clicking on other people a little too seriously.

send me one and I will.

That $300,000 is about US$10,000.

big money

Relic... when exactly did you start wondering if it could have been you?

which one/size

http://www.twitch.tv/fatal1ty/b/406294474

fatality is already practicing

i really hope you practice
a LOT

yo I might be going, see you there relic
I'll be the asian dude

On a sidenote, I never understood why CPL pooped so much money into Painkiller. Isn't it like, more obscure than comp tf2?

fatal1ty still seems to have really good aim just from watching his stream pov's.

Yeah but hopefully relic has a bootcamp partner(s) who is better than whoever fatality was practicing against cause as far as pk goes that guy was NO WHERE near his level...but like someone said his aim does seem good. But fatality's core strength was never his aim, it was his strategy and movement (at least from what I saw back in the day)

WTF what a weird coincidence. oPlaiD has been talking about fatal1ty (awkwardly, while we're in bed together) nearly every night for the past week -- just wondering out loud what he's up to and talking about wanting to write something about him, things like that.

In any case, this should be amazing to watch.

This is some sort of cosmic coincidence because I have been talking to the gf about oPlaiD wondering what he's been up to lately.

Weird.

if anyone watches those shitty esports shows with egwheat and the like, let us know if this comes up

relic if they invite you in as a guest, give a tftv shoutout

we will use your fame for our own benefits

The same reason LoL is popular in a way, the dev pumped it hard to tourneys and the like. Riot was just better at it.

???? that has nothing to do with why lol is popular

or i mean you could ignore that it was the most popular game out before it even had tournaments 3 years ago

shhh it's ok

esports

It has everything to do with why LoL is popular. It wouldn't have half the comp scene it does if Riot wasn't pumping cash into every tournament. If they just stopped, even now after it's established, prize pots for LoL would plummet.

I understand there's a ton of hate for LoL and I prefer DotA a ton myself, but you guys are really ignorant if you think that the only thing keeping LoL from being the game with the biggest casual playerbase and the highest consistent (by a large margin) stream viewer count are Riot hosted tournaments.

LoL is really accessible, free, and has been hugely popular before Riot hosted their global tournaments. The vast majority of people who play LoL are casual players. The way you make it sound is that LoL is like shootmania or painkiller where the only people who played the game were competitive players in it for the tournaments and as soon as there was no money in the game it instantly died.

That being said, no matter how much valve promoted TF2 it would have never gotten as much attention as LoL because FPS games as a whole target a much smaller audience. I think it was sirscoots or someone from EG who had a big "the future of gaming" video, but the main highlight is that FPS games are not taking the spotlight for stream views or the competitive scene. DotA, LoL, and Starcraft are obliterating games like CS and CoD in viewer count and I've never seen TF2 front paged on twitch.tv once.

EDIT: The video I was thinking of was this http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pFwLqQCqWrI and it was djwheat not sirscoots @ 4:40 is relevant.
