defyalright so saying every season since 5 was wrong but i'd also chalk that up to the extensions not being needed years ago since there was definitely more teams/players back then but i recall as of late it was a bit difficult to field the number of teams needed for certain divisions, another reason why main didn't last more than 1 season
not to throw this thread off track but i'm assuming you have records of how many teams were in each division since s1...i'm kind of interested to see the numbers and you can probably grab them quicker rather than someone checking each season individually which would be really tedious
but also noticing a pattern...the extension has been 110% needed since season 14. theres been less teams in IM since s12 as well...there was 21 teams then and now theres 16 teams etc etc. so you guys have definitely been more lenient the past few seasons and we really appreciate it
wait so are you angry at esea or not

#31 He's just clarifying what's going on in regards to the extensions.
Doesn't display any anger at all.

The dream stream team? Is that a team named after my stream by my fans! (I totally realize its not, but that's not going to stop me from getting the ego boost)

With all the dead teams I can't imagine them promoting 16 rosters. Same deal as last season and the seasons pre-S13 or whatever.

Hey shooter, are there more tf2 servers or are all the new ones just for cs?

as far as I know 10/16 playoff teams are alive and well so they will all probably be promoted, I think it should be a really competitive season of IM.

i think this is going to be a rather good year amount of team wise for esea-o
scrimmed a lot of different teams, and know a lot of teams are being formed
i think there should be like 30+ teams in open at least

I really do hope alot of the new teams sign up for at least ESEA or both ESEA and CEVO. I don't know what all has changed in the runnings of CEVO but coming from playing in the last 2 seasons of CEVO it doesn't seem like its worth it unless you are a team full of newer players who still don't think they would be able to put up a fight in ESEA open, which I suppose does have some merit to it.
I say this because at this point I'd rather see one league with 50+ open teams than both leagues struggling to make 30, which I know didn't happen this season but alot of teams in open died (die in general) throughout the season. With that considered S5 of cevo finished with 16 open teams and S17 ESEA finished with like 30 or so. I mean I know that competition is good in terms of how well the service the league provides and stuff like that but its also kinda hurting actual team competition if things continue to be how they are.
I so wanted CEVO to have become the new league that all the top level players played in and cared about but its really seeming like CEVO is just turning into "UGC plus". Me and my team didn't even play in esea in s16 because we decided to hop on the CEVO hype train and I mean at the time it was alright (S4 was alot more competitive overall than S5 imo) but now it seems like alot of people are now super hesitant to take CEVO seriously because they know all the competition is in ESEA and will probably be in ESEA. ESEA may have problems but at least you know what you're gonna get when you play in it and they do have a higher standard than CEVO does based on things like better inherent competition and a 'better' client (yeah i know it has issues and ive had those issues personally but so does paladin and Ive played matches where people on both teams didnt even have the client running).
And maybe I am wrong and CEVO is going to really impress us this season but its since been 2 seasons since the 'revival' of cevo tf2 and I find it hard to believe that even if they do put alot into its gonna take a while for them to get back (or anywhere close) at that explosive level of sign ups (100+?) they had back at the beginning of S4.
and sorry if this thread wasnt the best place to type this in and I know alot of what Ive said has already been discussed alot before but I really just want one league (particularly ESEA) to be really strong with their number of teams instead of dividing them among two and I'd hope that any new teams that may read this will consider what I've said when they decide which league to play in.
tl;dr new teams should consider ESEA over CEVO

I feel that most of the open teams might be going on the down low, or maybe I just didn't scrim enough open teams to realize... Either way, I really hope we get at least 30+ team this season. I really miss those days around season 13/14 when we had 60+ teams.
Seriously Guys, consider making an ESEA open team, good experience, and you're creating more room for competition. :)

to be honest all teams that use ugc gold or platinum to actually try and play competitive tf2 should all join esea

goodluck trying to convince them of that, the players from most of those teams are the most stubborn people I've ever talked to and think gold/plat is the pinnacle of comp tf2

Yeah, just checked, that would be an awesome 39 more teams in esea. Would be a massive boost in teams
