After reading that mix^ thread I just wanted to remind you all that Team Fortress 2 is a video game. You should not under any circumstances be upset over video games ever. If you are finding yourself getting angry, turn off your computer and re-evaluate your life because you are doing something wrong. It's good to be passionate and want to compete but at the end of the day who fucking cares what happens in a video game? If you are seriously getting upset about people off classing in a video game, the rest of your life is going to be horrible haha.
Just play the game and have fun, it really isn't that hard.
Sincerely,
a player that has been banned many times, most of which were the result of players getting upset. feel free to -frag now I have said what I wanted to say

I totally agree with you and understand where you are coming from but you also do have to take into consideration that these people do play for a decent amount of money so i guess it makes sense for them to get upset if something bad happens

It's like saying nobody should care about sports because those are just games.

The:
TF2 IS DEAD. DEAD; AND YOU KILLED IT. GOD DAMN YOU. GOD DAMN YOU ALLL TO HELLL.
Shit that's being parroted by rr and some others is laughable.
The players at highest levels of invite make the game more interesting and give everyone something to aspire to; but it's not as if everyone will stop playing if they do - the bar will've dropped, and that's unfortunate - but people will still be playing.
Just play TF2 and quit all the goddamn whining.

Two things, really.
The E$EA bandwagon should quit the FOLLOW US, PLAT AND B4NNY! FOLLOW US TO THE OTHER SIDE! shit until a viable alternative is presented and spoon fed (which is what it's going to take) to the community.
But mainly, I think that everyone should start laughing at the invite overlords that continue to perpetuate the narcissistic IF I DON'T GET A CHECK, IT'LL BE DEATH OF COMP TF2 hyperbole. Fuck 'em.

yeah hahaha
i dont think getting upset over sports is any less silly
I player soccer two times a week in a MENS LEAGUE (which means absolutely nothing to anybody) and each week I am amazed at how angry players get. I like to compete as much as the next guy but if you can't even shake my hand at the end of a GAME because you lost then grow the fuck up.

I'm saying it more as a general statement to the community not just the players in invite. Also the ones in invite aren't even getting upset its more the spectators that were upset.
I'd also like to take a moment to thank you for all the -frags I have received so far. I love this community.

All these "people" that you have claimed to be upset are not upset to the extent you think they are. You think outside of the forum they are letting this affect their personal life? No. For the most part, people are exaggerated online, compared to in person. You ever hear that saying "Don't bring your work home with you"? The same thing applies here. When you lose, get trolled and/or are unhappy with how ESEA operates, you shouldn't bring that "emotional baggage" into your personal life. And I don't think anyone here does that. If they do, they are the smallest percentage that have an unhealthy attachment to this game. In those cases, the game is just a substitute for whatever else it may be that they focus ALL of their attention and emotion into.
You really think that outside of these forums (or TF2), we are complaining to our family/friends/co-workers about how bad our lives are because we got trolled in a match? Or that our mood is down for days at a time because my video game match couldn't get rescheduled? There's a difference between being putting time/effort into being competitive, vs, an unhealthy emotional attachment. And that applies to anything. I used to play poker for a living. I was (still am) very competitive, but when something did not go my way, I would not flip out. If I ever lost, I didn't bring it home with me. Losing is part of the game. I understood and accepted that.
Competitiveness/Dedication/Passion apply to anything, whether it's "real life" sports, "online-sports", poker, relationships, work, etc... Sure, some are more important than others within the grand scheme of "life", but hobbies/entertainment are also important. So, stop throwing everyone into this emotionally, unstable bucket you want us in and just accept that sometimes people get temporarily upset.

I'm not placing all of you into this "unstable bucket" so to speak. You're right a good portion of the people are just exaggerating online and only a very small portion of them are actually emotionally attached to this game in an unhealthy way. Majority of the people aren't actually mad at all and I'm not addressing those people.
I realize most of the comments aren't actually as serious as they seem and are exaggerated more often than not. But you can't deny that a lot of people get upset over this game and handle it in immature ways, there are no shortage of examples of this. It happens in sports and in a lot of other aspects like you said and that is the point im trying to make here. Stop taking these things so seriously and getting upset over things that are out of your control. So what if you lose a game, so what if someone played in a way that you didn't like, so what if someone said something stupid or insulting to you. You have the power to choose how it affects you, so why let it?
I'm probably thinking into this way too much but it's not like it doesn't happen.
