lul people who think this will "divide the community" there will never be 7s elitists, froyo will collect their money and this will instantly die again just like last time

Its cuz the serious teams are only in it for the prize pool and if only top 2 get a payout then he'll only get 2-3 serious teams.

Hi sigafoo, I really appreciate that you're putting this much money towards a video game but can you stop trying to push a format that nobody likes in an attempt to separate the community even further for literally no benefit and either don't do it at all or put your money towards something actually useful like an upcoming 6v6 LAN or an international team

:)

You can think its dumb but why are people so like mean and against it even existing.

Just let it and the people who play it be and let them have their fun.

tfw u get downvoted on tftv

Yeah really don't understand all of the "7s is bad REEEEEE" shit going on. I can think of many ways to waste 4K that would be more fun, but if this is how we wants to do it I say giver. Because lets be honest, he doesn't like 6s period so this 4K isn't something that we are losing, because we never had a chance to have it in the first place.

what in tarnation

the problem is not you saying that people that play 6s are toxic but more like u generalizing and thinking that EVERYONE in 6s community are just subhuman water creatures that live of shittalking and being assholes

like i said in my other post yes there is toxic people in the 6s community and not everyone is perfect here, but its not like HL is just a land full of rainbows and happy dancing or some shit like that lol
toxicity exists in HL and you dont really have to dig that deep to find out about shit that has happened in the HL scene

also how is downfraggin "ATTACKING" someone

if you can't handle the "toxicity" in our small community i think youre better off going and playing some shit like little big planet honestly. you wont find hugboxes in competitive environments

- people can do what they want
- you dont deserve money even though 6s is best
- i dont care about 7s but what gives
- lets be friends

brb kms :(

People aren't annoyed that he isn't putting money into 6s.

People are annoyed that he's endorsing a format - not because the format has any merit - but because he has a personal vendetta against a game mode that he has no relevant experience playing. He isn't pro-7v7. He's anti-6v6.

A player that is abundantly ignorant to 6v6 tf2, why the "meta" exists, and the nuances of the format has a beef with "the meta" that he doesn't even understand.

Players far more experienced disagree with him... but hey, screw the evidence, screw the opinions of people who've been around the block. 7v7 is the way to go!

His same logic can also be found in pub players who have never played comp (or people who mained an easy class in HL, oh wait), who've never played 6s/have no real understanding of 6s but somehow insist it's an objectively bad game-mode - either presenting zombie arguments like:

"I can't play the class I want"

or completely baseless, and generally uneducated opinions like:

"The meta is too strict and stale."

The only difference is he's throwing money at a tournament and the rest of them are just shit-posting on reddit.

6's has plenty of problems, but not because Sigafoo says so.

Also, people who think one community is more toxic than another because of the game-mode they endorse... like, bruh... really? lol. Come on.

wish that money was going towards highlander.

Ultiduo - "Oh hey cool a fun on-the-side game mode"
4v4 - "Oh hey cool a fun on-the-side game mode"
7v7 - "wtf why are you trying to divide the community"

(Yeah signup fees make this a slightly different case, but is it really *that* different?)

More like

Ultiduo - Hey something that has been being played for literally years anyways, lets have a small prize for once

4v4 - lmao 4s, no one gives a shit.

7v7 - This has a larger pot then ETF2L, the actual fuck.

He's made it clear that he's trying to create a competitive format that is more representative of pubs, and whilst I appreciate the effort made in the first one, there was a reason it didn't take off.

Absolutely different.

When 4's came out, people in the 6s community were largely confused as to the purpose of making such a game mode. Just about anyone I know who played it treated it like playing pubs, or not much less casually. Also, as far as I remember, no-one was trying to promote it as an alternative or superior mode to 6s.

Ultiduo is a minigame, like bball. It requires very little commitment, and doesn't pull anyone away from another game mode. Further, (unless a lot's changed) it's primarily used as a training mode for 6v6 games - a variant of DM or MGE.

at least it aint highlander

dont worry he's gonna pull a bait and switch and its gonna be actual highlander

its great hes doing something for TF2; hes putting his own money into something for a game he loves and thats fantastic.

but literally nobody likes 7's

but its whatever, i'll watch it and have fun watching it.

wakes up

To begin with you're really just throwing money at b4nny. As with the recent ultiduo tournaments, the only person willing to put in the time necessary to win is b4nny. Competition in general has stagnated because of b4nny. Out of the past nine seasons of ESEA, b4nny has won eight of them. If you really want to throw your money at froyotech be my guest, but don't go crying about how awful the tf2 community has become when every major na tournament is won by the same team. It's not how "stale" the meta is that makes people forget competitive tf2, it's the lack of competition. #banb4nny. Also, stop trying to force us into your fucked up vision of tf2. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. No one will sign up for this shit. Calling it now.

can we get extine to host an arena respawn tournament too now that would be cool

you guys are being toxic havent you heard its killing tf2

i don't think even froyo can win first second and third in all of the divisions
