Can't wait to see a GRU Heavy/Powerjack Pyro/Gunslinger Engie on every mid. It's going to be a right laugh!

I'm eXcited to see this showmatch. I hope that players approach it with an open mind and try to have fun. I don't know if this is the best solution for 6s and comp TF2, but its definitely worth a shot. Thanks for eXperimenting.

i have my fingers crossed and i'm hopeful, but the odds of this being entertaining for anything more than the "wow this is stupid" factor are very, very low.
is that the point and i'm missing something?

Just a first step, hopefully we can experiment further with simplified class limits like a universal 1 or 2 or dare I say no limit?! Disgusting filth :o

I think it will be taken seriously by the players and be good to watch.
As serious as you can expect from a doublemix :>

it's kind of the point, if you squint hard enough? worst-case scenario, you now have something you can point at if/when talking to valve about community things. as in, "hey, we loosened up our rules like you wanted, and it's about as painful of an experience as we expected"
e: btw, there better be at least one engie rocking pomson/sc/gunslinger, that set-up is clownshoes

Do 6s players even know any unlocks? ;)
Just kidding, sounds like silly fun, looking forward to it!

if you do more than one of these events it'd be cool to see one with only what are considered 'good/broken' unlocks allowed.
There's a lot of shite and I think the temptation to pick it may be too much

Next weekend somewhat more restricted matches whitelists banning broken weapons and taunts?!
I really hope the invited players actually own unlocks and haven't all crafted them to metal :P

great initiative. if anything, hopefully valve takes a look and at least decides to balances the unlocks.

Perfectly legitimate in ESEA.
It's the Quick Fix you got to worry about.
EDIT: A prediction, there will be at least one game-breaking glitch discovered during these matches.

We ran vaccinator heavy a lot last season!

I'm certainly not trying to bash on this, but I really don't see the point (aside from entertainment value). It can take a season for a meta to grow around just a couple of unlocks. Playing a few double mixes with every weapon in the game will give 0 indication of how the game would actually be played over the course of season.

Sniper limit 1 m8s, sorry Admirable's parents couldn't afford for him to either go to school or be home-tutored by Mike's mum.
EDIT: I won't be playing but I think buttnose should! Just for arranging all the players and taking more time to organise this than anyone else despite not being involved.

Baby steps isn't it. Nooobody wants to see an established league throw away their whitelist without some testing beforehand. We're just seeing if anything is blatantly horribly broken with normal tf2, and going from there.

Im excited to see which unlocks arent actually as broken as people say... and which are even more broken than anyone could have expected. Sounds like a lot of fun :D

Really hoping you all remove the class limits entirely. It makes it much more interesting for spectators (at least for me personally), and it allows teams to change up their class composition depending on the type of strategy they want to run. I also think it might be hard to determine overall unlock balance when some of it could be innately overpowered in a 6v6 class limit format. Either way, I can't wait to watch :)

i'm even more curious to see how teams will deal with certain powerful (or overpowered) unlocks. hopefully we'll see some cool strats made up to counter certain unlocks. especially if the class limit gets removed like seagull mentioned!
i'm totally hyped

The members better be reading up on dumb weapon exploits and strategies. I will be highly disappointed if there aren't any caber shenanigans.
