how can be fun to take a game so seriously for a win when its mean to be silly and unpredictable? how can be good to look for another match wheenever a game is over? why isnt possible to stay with the same players? how can be friendly to fight for the top of a stupid rank? whats the point in playing if you end up stressed after a win/lose? at least they kept the option to go on a custom server"

Is this guy brain dead?

Most likely he is from a different country and speaks a language other than English.

No you can't.

I don't see anyone doing this. In fact the only people I've ever seen do this are pubbers who are only just learning about competitive. I've never met a competitive player who says the game shouldn't be played like 'x', or said (seriously) "i don't understand how y could be found fun by anyone". But I've seen plenty of pub player comments saying that people shouldn't find competitive fun cause it's a "silly fun game"

competitive tf2 is the most fun I have had in a video game, and that guy is saying that it isn't or why try in a video game? I bet he has never even tried competitive tf2 like in lobby /MM.

A good sport needs rules in order to be set the parameters for skill and strategy

does this sentence not make sense to anyone else
i know what he was trying to say but i feel like this kind of stuff should be fixed with proof reading lol

article was solid though, he made a good point about australiums and giving people a reason to play competitive

I think the ladder grind is the replacement really. Their judgement must be that players motivated by MvM type rewards aren't the type to play a lot of competitive games, and they'd have the data to make that call.
