bl4nkI talked quite a bit with lpkane at esea lan actually. The dude enjoys watching competitive tf2. He just finds it hard for them to want to support us when we trash on them every chance we get on this forum. It's funny he said that because twitch john said more or less the same thing about us. I didn't know it was a thing, but twitch john says that some of us feel like he abandoned us. These are the guys keeping this game alive more or less. The fact they haven't outright left us but choose to support us just from a distance, I say you just have fun with what you have.

This is so heavy and thought provoking. Look at what we've been doing.

I don't think it has to do anything with one event or one person rather, but more with the fact that ESEA has been trashed on occasion including in the whole ESEA vs Cevo fiasco. Was nice seeing people at LAN every once in a while, rip.

I mean either way the game won't die.

I'm still an active Civ IV player, and every time I go to the forums or online it's still just as busy as it was in '09 despite the game being 10 years old now.

If you want a dead game check out http://www.gamereplays.org/riseofthewitchking/
But wait, even though you can only play through VPN, people are still playing and modding!

As long as we play, tf2 won't ever die.

Yeah pharaoh was sarcastic about the mouse thing. Ultimately, he didn't seem bothered by it at all when I talked to him. Not so much as a mention of it really. I think the whole cevo/esea thing was more or less the beginning of the end.

it has nothing to do with them being hurt about shit on a forum

i talked to lpkane and he actually likes the tf2 people he gets to meet at lan. the company wants to have tf2 because they enjoy saying they're not exclusively a csgo league and having TF2 in that corner of the venue doesn't impede them at all since they prefer to have one game being played at a time for the CSGO event anyway.

however, he mentioned that if they had the opportunity to expand csgo to the extent mentioned in the article, they would be forced to drop lan support for TF2. im not 100 on the details why its no longer as simple as putting tf2 in a corner, but it is what it is

This game is still going on, so I can't see how TF2 will ever die. But it sure can get smaller and that's what NA players are worried about.

The top players from 2009-2010 in civ 4 are still playing so it's honestly a voluntary process to lose the best players

lanskyit has nothing to do with them being hurt about shit on a forum

i talked to lpkane and he actually likes the tf2 people he gets to meet at lan. the company wants to have tf2 because they enjoy saying they're not exclusively a csgo league and having TF2 in that corner of the venue doesn't impede them at all since they prefer to have one game being played at a time for the CSGO event anyway.

however, he mentioned that if they had the opportunity to expand csgo to the extent mentioned in the article, they would be forced to drop lan support for TF2. im not 100 on the details why its no longer as simple as putting tf2 in a corner, but it is what it is

This is basically the same conversation I had with him. I was able to talk with lpkane quite a bit as I was helping set up some digital billboards for them right by the venue, hence why you might have seen some pictures of a FROYOTECH billboard at LAN, and the bottom line came down to this:

Lpkane likes TF2. He likes being able to say that ESEA doesn't ONLY have CS:GO but that they also have another game that they support. However, the goal is to move their CSGO LAN's to a different format/venue in the future, although not finalized and wasn't really expanded upon entirely, and if this change takes place there will likely not be room/time to host the TF2 LAN at the same event. If ESEA doesn't host a TF2 LAN he doesn't really feel that it is necessary to run a season for it either.

So basically, if they decide to move the venue/setup to promote the CSGO side of things they will likely drop TF2 from LAN, if they drop TF2 from LAN they will likely not host a season for TF2 either.

The ESL thing is this season, and from what shade said, ESEA will be dropping TF2 as soon as LAN moves out of Dallas, which it is.

If there isn't going to be another season of tf2 after this season i feel like most people will just quit esea. Most people have goals like me for instance, I wanted to make it to invite before quitting. If there isn't a possible way for me to do that then why even bother playing a next season? Plus since its a confirmed last season everyone would be throwing and no one would try there would be no competitive spirit.
