ESEA playoff matches don't start until Jan 5th.

like I said, once ESEA+ETF2L are finished.

Then the only issue with postponing the final to the new year is the admins don't want to?

we will play on friday now, we will try our best to put up a decent roster for the game and sit it through

Your gifs are not funny, but yo, etf2l fucking sucks.

Weren't Americans complaining when europeans posted in threads about ESEA? Why is there a 5 page thread about etf2l on here?

why hasn't permzilla posted yet? sack up m8

prolly because ur awful forums are dead as fuck

idk man i never really bothered scoping out the etf2l forums, i think its safe to say the majority of the tf2 community across the globe has flocked here

This place has always been pretty international. It's like asking why are there European streams in the sidebar.

because FREEDOM motherfucker

maybe we go back down to mcdonalds and get you a whaaburger and some french cries, how about a whineken?

Your posts in this thread are becoming worse and worse homeslice :/

fuck off yellow tooth

woah

1. Yellow Tooth
A poor substitution for Blue Tooth.
A guy wearing a knit hat with his cell phone tucked in over his ear and his hands in his pockets like he's cool. He got a Yellow Tooth.

but you're canadian????

The US has FREEDOM just seething out its fun hole. It seeps into Canada as well.

Is it just me that thinks it does suck balls and has been handled badly but if top prem teams can't play like an entire week and haven't worked something out by themselves way before a grand final then it's at least sort of their fault..? Do your uni work, get a day or two off your sports shit. Whatever really. If you don't want to do that shit then maybe don't play TF2 at the top and expect admins to have no issues.

ps i'm not saying admins are faultless, it just seems like some (very important you read that right.. some) people are acting like it wasn't their fault when they could probably have scheduled their shit a bit better to begin with.

lol freedom

Are you serious? The inability of top players to schedule their time in a way, that would both allow them to do real life shit and play video games, is somehow the ETF2L admins' fault?

The admins gave the schedules for the playoffs and shit way before the season started.
The finalists have made no effort whatsoever to schedule the game before 10.12., even though they had the chance to do that earlier.
This of course, to me at least, seems like they care about the ETF2L Finals just as much as Mike cares about his Uni stuff. If you don't have the time to play vidya games, then don't sign up for the season. Or is that too simple to realize?

And yeah, it's obvious Epsilon will take this anyway. Even if WWCF had their full line-up, they'd still get raped. Nobody cares if Epsilon wins. A lot of people will care if the Grand Final isn't being played, because of kids not being able to manage their time well enough to schedule 2 hours of their special lives for a video game.
It sends a message out to the community and the sponsors.

I sure as hell would threaten them with a ban, if I was an admin, which imo is a fairly reasonable thing to do if TF2 ever wishes to get any sponsors again.

the grand finals is one of the few tf2 matches I actually sit down and watch

You're a idiot, it's their team they should be able to choose when they want to forfeit a match or not. This is a video game and no one should be forced to play if they don't want to/don't have the time to at a specific time.

Fear not Serotone. Ignore these people and their abusive, thoughtless hatred. As you were there for me when elevλte folded, I too am here for you.

ESEA, Twitch, ETF2L... Good to see these internet businesses are learning how not to run a business. There is a reason the phrase, "The client comes first" is a thing.

what in gods name are you talking about

That is one of the stupidest things I have ever read.

ETF2L is a community league, there are no veiled interests here unlike the businesses you mentioned, it is run by volunteers.
Also, what happened was a case of bad management and poor decision making from all parties involved, the blame is not on the admins only, read sideshow post and a few posts on the etf2l thread and you will understand things could have been handled much better from every party involved.
