HOW IS THIS GUY NOT BANNED YET
Edit: SHIT THAT WAS FAST

Hi I don't care

What an earth would I be banned for, who have insulted / sworn at / made a crude jester too done anything other than state my opinion?

Or does tftv operate on a policy of banning those of have a minority opinion?

Mike can't go. Sorry guys :/

Maybe i should make a fundraiser for my 300 pounds flight

I could in fact question the admin as to why the post was removed in the first place.

I assume that they will turn around and accuse me of shit posting but I would never do such a thing I just feel very passionate about this.

mrw I see a post from MattCV

Why would I be joking?
Donation drives often offer weapon signing as a perk, but f*ck wasting gift wrap.
Wasting a few ref to get a hat that's also 'signed' however....

Eyjafjallajökull - never forget...

The fact is, you've already made your opinions quite clear with the thread you've made and in the thread you derailed. There's no need to derail another thread. You've been temp banned for a few days so that you can cool down.

Just to add on tsc's post in case there's doubt:

Don't create a strawman argument. Your opinion isn't even a minority one (nice victim blaming there), but we most definitely do not operate on banning based on popularity. Your opinion is not as important as you make it to be.

It's not up to you to determine if you're shitposting (which, by the way, I proudly endorse SOME LEVEL of it) and/or breaking the rules. You're posting on TFTV and that means your post is under the scrutiny of the admins. People seem to misunderstand that this is ultimately a privately owned site. You're free to post what you like to an extent. I personally try to moderate as little as I can, and I ALWAYS lean towards giving the benefit of the doubt to posters. But you know what? At the end of the day, we're the law on this forum. So don't abuse that "Post Reply" button to constantly vomit your rote opinion everywhere. Do it right, do it reasonably, and there will be 0 problems.

I don't want to donate as Epsilon are no longer going to play TF2 afterwards, and don't seem to be putting much effort into the future. Not sort of team I'd want to support, I would rather support someone like Full Tilt or TLR who regularly practise and show some interest in the game's future.

For that reason I won't donate, but I wish you good luck with your fundraiser and hope you have a good LAN, it's great to see some of the best players in the game at an event like Dreamhack, so people should donate if they want to see amazing games, but I am thinking next generation.

My 120hz monitor broke so you can support my gaming monitor fundraiser if you want :)

MattwCV sure does try a lot to make people think he's stupid despite denying it so strongly.

would be lovely if people stopped derailing the thread.

Are you promising an absolute crushing for your donation drive?
Like, I know y'all got some skill. But I want dikes created to stop the tears from how rigorously everybody gets fucked.

If you'd prefer you can consider it donating to make TF2 at DHW happen.

Aight whose alt is mattcv's??

To be fair, I think donations towards a team like Epsilon shouldn't hinge on their future in the game. Even if unofficial, TF2 at Dreamhack is a pretty big deal, especially for those who are still trying to nurture growth in the competitive scene. It shouldn't matter if numlocked doesn't play etf2l next season, or if the team as a whole is simply playing to kill time in the absence of Overwatch; the real reason you want them there is to bolster viewership for the event. And if I'm being honest, Epsilon and Reason are the lynchpins for the event. You want the best competition possible to be there and feel secure in their choice to even attend.

Epsilon has the clout to not only keep the attention of experienced players, who want to see Mike not miss a rocket for the entire round, but the play-makers, who impress potential new viewers. If you're thinking about donating to Epsilon, you should think about it as donating to TF2, because the event is more than just "another tournament." It's big, and you want to gain as much hype as possible and ride the wave through matchmaking and onto further tournaments. So, again, I don't really think numlocked potentially not playing etf2l next season should ever be a reason to not donate.

And you never want to use your placing as a cushion for the travel expenses, either. Teams want to feel secure in going to the tournament, not pressured that they have to place at a certain ranking to earn the money they've lost going there. It's a shitty feeling. Obviously it's ideal that no one would have to pay and we'd have sponsors for all this, but mitigating it for every player and team involved is appreciated for everyone attending, even if the players don't communicate it well enough.

Best of luck to Epsilon, Reason, full tilt, etc. in any donation drives. The community as a whole should try to make this one of the biggest tournaments TF2 has ever had.

^ word

I will stream every pcw ! Get hyped : www.twitch.tv/tek36

Did you went through the hassle of contacting some sponsors or was numlocked´s tweet the only appeal for help? If you did I am actually quiet suprised noone would give a team with your calibre and gaming history 1K - its almost free advertisement if you think about the brand exposure at DH, so im just curious :) Donated

Does epsilon even care?

Possibly

If they did search, i'd say that sponsors are quite adverse from giving money to a team (even if its fucking Epsilon) cos it's the first DreamHack of a game that is (yet) small, afterall. I expect more sponsor for next year event, indeed.

Epsilon weren't interested in supporting TF2 anymore, and others I contacted weren't interested yet (it is only 1 tournament after all atm). Organisations are quite hesitant to give money for 1 event.

Also pretty much everything clockwork has said. Epsilon vs Reason would be the best competition at DreamHack, or the big names at least. This is to make sure the DreamHack TF2 tournament can happen.

Since a daily update was requested, I'll edit it onto the first post and will edit at the end of each day after today. We're currently at 1 donation of £15.

Fuck that is dire. Why can't you be more likeable, Epsilon? :D

Can i start a fundraiser as (what i feel like im going to be) the only crowd member at the competition?

15 quid donated to see Reason plough your anus live on the internet.
