It is a blog post.

ah, my ringer didn't go off until the blog post was made. weird

wtf?? I look away for 10 minutes and valve has already taken more steps in the right direction? What is happening at valve HQ right now??

y'all are pretty cool people :)

I guess now we wait for them to tweet it?

EDIT: and of course make a Facebook post. (pretty please?)

Would it be asking too much if we also got this on the News tab in-game

Is there a higher quality version of that image anywhere? Would love to use it as a background, but it's so small.

maybe next small patch

uberchain will probably release a higher def version soon. You could try contacting them, though.

yeah i was gonna say it looks like uberchain made it

Credit to Scurvy Orange, who also did the i58 poster last year. There's also a portrait version TFTV tweeted out here.

If they did something like csgo where a rare case or something dropped to ppl watching, I think that would attract a lot of viewers.

If only they actually meant it lol

does it matter if they mean it at this point? They put the damn post on their website like people wanted!!!

I hope they keep doing thing to support comp, but at this point be grateful that they actually did anything

well i cant think of another game community has a self made charity event

sgdq/agdq

also CS did that fundraiser for the balkans a while back

yea the person who ran it was scummy and ended up stealing the money and buying an apartment+mercedes with the donation money.
fuck pita

on the otherside im glad valve is giving recognition, too bad ronin wouldnt want to play for just 1 more week together :(

oh that was related to gaming paradise? lmao

Everything else is awaiting their reveal, but I can give you a taste of the ones I designed. As always, Scurvy + Uber did all the heavy lifting.

I'm gonna bump this since I want the i58 Schedule Set thread kept as the i58 Schedule Set thread since that thread's actually important and this one's still sort of on topic for skins. I appreciate everybody's eagerness for them; I also understand those that don't like or want the skins and I respect your opinion so as long as you've got good feedback as to why you don't want them or you respect the effort. I don't really want to make this an "I'm doing this for free you ungrateful turds" post (which btw 99.9% of those posts are absolutely justified). We didn't get as much survey feedback as we wanted back from ESEA S17's reskin surveys beyond collecting data from r/tf2, TFTV and Twitch chat, and I forgot to set up surveys after ESEA S18 and i55.

At some point a League of Legends skins idea was pitched but was scrapped because we didn't want to test this out for i58, due to how jarring it might be as well as silhouette shapes and fucking with Valve's designs. (I also don't actually know where to get a Demo hoodie model though that'd be sick.) Ideally in a future where this prospers and pays off, items that can be decal'd with the teams and bought to fund them or fund tourneys seems like the way2go. For now, we're leaving in more TF2 Team Colours to keep with the palette, with enough design to basically be unique and not just copypasta logos. Should the trend eventually just go towards copypasta logos + no design or brand colours for other tourneys because matching green with red is fucking painful, that's alright too.

What would be the difference between a blue and red scout?

what an attitude

And that's why it's scrapped!

(Somebody suggested pants. Pants would be the best bet but then it's a battle of silhouettes and colours with Demoman as well.)

theyve made a blog post for insomnia every year since like i46

Well it has to be mentioned so that they maybe see and fix it.

Do you have any download to the team skins? I mean like Jasmine Tea, Froyotech, Full Tilt, Crowns team skins. I wanna make a little sfm frag movie.
