swing and a miss

I was just reading the thread here guys and a few people from the community has approached me with concerns and I just want to make something clear. AG (as a sponsor) is far from dead as we rotate teams every season. AG picked up the Steve C Games team for Season 13 and held them again for Season 14 as we saw the potential for AG's dream to be met which is to have an official AG team make it to lan. We will always hold Season 14 dear to our hearts and the team who took AG there.

People need to remember that AG is a community sponsor not a corporate one that is 100% financially funded by me. The only sponsor that AG has is EOR which provides our servers, mumble and web-hosting for our sponsored teams and also other events such as community vs pros. My focus, AG's focus, will always be to assist the community as a whole the best we can. Invite is exciting,I enjoy all the players and have good close relationships with most of them. However, it does not help when AG sticks to one team every season.

This season we went back down to the lower brackets Open,IM, Main and Highlander. We may move back up to invite in Season 16 depending on several factors. I ask players to remove tags not because we "cut" them but because their sponsorship is over and this is clearly stated in sponsorship negotiations. AG is considered one of the best sponsors out there and we take pride in what we do and we hope to continue to do so for a long time. We do our very best to support the "community" not just one division. Believe me ladies and gentlemen if I ever won the lottery TF2, the game I love, would look a lot different...;) If anyone has any questions, concerns or ideas please feel free to let me know.

I didn't ask permission from this invite player to post our conversation as he came and asked me to consider sponsoring his team. He does have a good point about support and fan base and I thought it was worth posting the conversation. Due to the lack of permission to post I have deleted his name and placed it with "invite player".

6:10 PM - invite player: wana sponsor us ....?
6:31 PM - AG| Nahanni: AG has picked up four teams. Main, IM, Open and Highlander. We are going to take a step back this season from invite and help the little guys out for this one.
6:36 PM - invite player: aww
6:36 PM - invite player: how can anyone develop a following for AG?!
6:37 PM - AG| Nahanni: what do u mean?
6:37 PM - AG| Nahanni: lol
6:37 PM - invite player: well u keep going in and out of sponsoring a division, can't generate any fanbase/support if there's always a different team different players
6:38 PM - invite player: dunno what the goal is i guess
6:38 PM - AG| Nahanni: we dont need a following. Its a community based sponsorship so we go where the need is. It is not helping the community as a whole by sticking to one team.
6:39 PM - invite player: gotcha

Italy cw_______________ Nov 4th, 2013 Active

cw joined the iT roster

Clock, Shrugger, Ruwin, Bloodsire...
Jesus the scouts on that roster o.O

To Clock,
You were the Chosen One! You were supposed to destroy the top teams, not join them! Bring balance to invite, not leave it in darkness...
Love Obi-wan

does that mean b4nny goes back to demo too? They might win another lan now.

iT could probably win lan with their current lineup. They are better than I think a lot of people realize.

their lineup is worse than last season. They can still win since invite is much weaker now and only one team can beat them.

shots fired @ banny

when i was watching RR stream yesterday i saw no roster changes. I assume cw is just in a backup spot much like ruwin and bloodsire

I don't think anyone doubts that the current six of iT could win LAN. They are easily the top or top two teams this season. but it's hard to argue that this current roster would be better than an iT with Clckwrk on Scout and b4nny on Demo. But Clckwrk is a backup anyways.

Haha please don't kill me I love how crazy good b4nny is at everything, it's only that he just started on scout in invite, sure he's playing well like he seems to on every class he tries playing but those players have been huge as scouts for seasons and if you had to make an american dream team I'm willing to bet at least one of them would be on a lot of peoples lists.

root+6 to pick up clock and begin the process of cutting their way to the top

MARMADUKEgrylls cut from root+6.

You're next marmaduke, I've been your team manager ever since I quit. None of you knew it, but now you do.

hehe you guys r so funny (every1 knows ure not gunna cut the best player in tf2)

Someone is gonna get their dick sucked invite style if they respond to that with '(player of choice) isn't getting cut!'

Are you doing the dick sucking golden ninja? Show me your invite skills pls.

So since this is also a predictions thread, what're your preds guys...
Options I see in order of descending probability are:
a) clock will just be backing up for a season and then going to a new team next season,
b) clock will go to scout next season, b4nny will go back to demo, xalox or rr to demo
c) clock will go to scout next season, b4nny goes and beasts roamer with his mad jumps/dm, xalox or rr to demo
d) clock becomes scout this season and either option b or c roster changes occur

I'm on the left marmaduke. You're on the right.

its a)

All these heavy-weights encroaching on my bench ride... I got like one cheek on, this is BS!

i disagree

You can have my newbie mix reject cocksucking skills if you want.

Blood in your fear of other heavy weights joining your bench please don't start playing more to stay on form, I'm enjoying all the casting you've been doing recently and would hate if you sacrificed casting time <3
Or play lots more and get back in as a starter ;)

except your face is smooth like a baby's ass and mine has a sweet fucking stache on it. the gif itself is correct though, positions flipped.
