I know that I've been out of the scene for a while now (suck it dennis), but as you can probably guess, I still love TF2. I saw the Tip of the Hats stream and tuned in right around the time that Robin Walker was on stream and heard about the amazing amount of money you guys raised for One Step. It blew me away, and my editor as well.

I have been writing for the Minnesota Daily, the 4th largest newspaper in Minnesota, as well as the University of Minnesota's on-campus paper. I pitched the idea of a TF2 competitive-scene-focused-article and he told me to run with it. I ended up doing interviews with some of the communities best and brightest (and Ma3la heh) to do you guys justice.

I'm actually a really bummed and a little upset about the article because I had about 1600 words to start with, then had to chop it down to about 900 for formatting but still thought it was pretty decent. Then my editor cut out another 300 without telling me and published it. It doesn't flow very well anymore and he cut out some important info and important people, but its better than nothing.

Also special shoutout to fastshot93 from Ma3la's twitch chat, didn't get to use your quote, but I personally really liked it.
