There was indeed a lot of talking done at i49.

yuki is scary with 0 ping
sheep can shoot heads
cyzer is sorry
lansky and mike allegedly got beef
HRG and iM preformed well but just not as well as Epsilon and TCM
Epsilon is really scary
TCM did really well too, but just couldnt overcome the mountain that is Epsilon

edit:

edit: .

Basically the Aussies went huge. But the euros went HUGE. America did what they always do which was not go quite huge enough.

So can jukebox

This was fake wasnt it?

mirelin dropped knoxx ...

it was knoxx right?

Yes, if you are talking about blands last.

Biggest surprise to me really was: Australians proved to be really strong despite looking weak during bootcamp. Also, like fields said,

yeah same one

Damn that drop was great

Sheep is insane.
Juke is insane too.
Yuki is beast.
Knoxx - only medic who didnt choke.
Infused got confused.
Shintaz and Coleman - make it happen TFtv. Just provide beer for them.
In overall - the biggest surprise was iM.

So far - best Lan i have ever seen. Its good, that NA didnt send 2 teams to EU, because it would be a double disapointment for NA scene. #shotsfired

EDIT: Really happy for Knoxx - last big tournament for him and he nailed it. Viva la France.

I don't agree, KnOxXx dropped way more ubers than usually. Not saying it was his fault but still.

Other than that,
Sheep was the best sniper at lan. Australians really surprised everyone with their good performance.
EUs having fun with HRG's PCs http://etf2l.org/forum/lan/topic-27017/page-1/
Both NA and AU teams having each 2 players to carry the whole team (Lansky + B4nny, Sheep + Yuki)

In addition to last point, Americans are preparing a revenge plan by making 2 new superteams, one of them looks really scarry, most likely they'll just smash EU at i52, but the main question is wheter they'd smash current Epsilon, however, with players retiring, we will never find out.

I don't remember any drops from knoxxx other then the one to mirelin. Can you remind me when he dropped?

Also, what are those super teams that are being formed?

He dropped 2 or 3 times during game against HRG as well due to B4nny's traps.

As to super teams, one was with Clockwork, Blaze, Justin, Pure, TLR, Xalox.
I don't remember the second one. Rosters are not clear yet anyway.

I think knoxxx dropped a few in the warm up stage.. don't really remember any from the knockout games.

Sheep sick. Yuki sick. Langsky MVP for HRG. Jukebox must be hacking, GeaR still the best roamer and Ryb showing that he is still the #2 demo in the world (Numlocked #1).

Aha, thanks. Overall Knoxxx was the best medic on LAN imo. Great way to end his career.

The headshot from jukebox when tcm was holding middle after epsilon captured second on badlands, i think it was from haunter or something not sure.

Sorry if it is a noobish question, but which members are retiring?

Knoxxx is retiring and Mike is taking a couple of seasons off, according to numlocked on reddit.

Aporia was really huge, and i'm not seeing enough people giving him credit for that.

Found the thread, thanks for the help!

I told him in person he was carrying even though people were focussing their attention on Yuki and Sheep. If I did a top 5 LAN MVP's, there's a strong chance he would feature in there.

this

aporia played insanely well the whole lan and saved iM a bunch of times, definitely deserves high praise.

In general Australians were so strong, they were kind of unlucky to go out but in the end TCM deserved it for the comeback, but iM are easily one of the best TF2 teams in the world, I take back everything I said about them pre-LAN, they're all incredible players who play selflessly for eachother.

Plz come back for i52.

Aussies can fucking rocketjump though

Forgot to mention - rybs beard is source of his power.
