That fact you dont know who duwatna is seriously makes me question your knowledge of tf2, no offense.

Confirmed troll gg.

That's your opinion and that's cool and all. But the general opinion seems to disagree with you. I for one think that Valve did think well enough before involving themselves in "comp". For one thing, it's not too much of a commitment other than MM, it's just the first step to seeing how things may go. They did think how they wanted their MM to be like and have done what they wanted to it so far. But also remember, "after 10 years, it was worth the wait". They put a lot of time into making TF2 what it would become in terms of playstyles, respawn times, and such. Then us the players revolutionized our competitive format and have adapted to what the game has to offer. This lasted for multiple years and stands as one of the longest living games with a decent player base. Back then, Valve was a god in the things they did and their decisions is what made their games amazing.

Marmie's guide to making tf2 an esport:

Step 1: Become CS:GO
Step 2: Profit? ??
???!??!
?!?!

When b4nny was talking about idiots earlier in his stream i didn't know what he meant.

Now I know.

I have a hard enough time watching/getting hyped over league and dota (given that i have little to no exposure to either of the games) how could 6s possibly be confusing? I can understand confusion with ubers and stuff like that but with tf2 being a class based first person shooter, and when the main point of games are to capture control points and the fights come down to what team is going to have at least one man standing to capture the points, and when at the top levels our casters do an exceptional job of keeping up with the action, it's hard to understand how changing a game to simply "esportify it" that's been developed through multiple years of changes along with changes to the classes itself is within logical thinking at all. You can make the example with CS that making teams 5 players each would make it easier to get people to worldwide events, but we've been doing this for quite a while now. And people usually know what they're doing when it comes to arrangements and things like that.

Stevie nailed what we need to become an esport. While I will agree that to someone that has no idea what is going on, it can be wierd looking at it. I've been trying to make some form of video guide that explains the basic flow and a few distinct elements that make 6v6 different than other class based shooters. While it's far from finished, the ideas have been set to make this guide to help any spectator understand our game.

6v6 is great, the sides of the map that weight presence are easier calculated when there is 6 players on a vanilla lineup.

Sry who are u ? Thx

who are YOU?

are you stabby's alt

Sry who are u ? Thx

slowing the game down and encouraging stalemates makes it way more of a spectator sport for sure

solid meme

I think we should have one class max for each team to make it an esport

^ stabby alt?

So to make tf2 an esport we need to make it CS
No, lets just keep tf2 as tf2

how can it ever be a SPORT when all you do is sit in a chair

Can't wait until tf2 blows up and we can all look back on these archived posts and laugh together while sitting on all of our e-sport money.

Chess are a sport

BUT NOT AN ESPORT #ILLUMINATI
