Honestly didn't think UGC TF2 was going to outlast ESEA TF2 after the RGL switch for most of HL...
That being said I'm not surprised, and it was a bad deal for both sides. ESEA lost money on TF2 and the vast majority of players were losing money on ESEA cause it was a shit service with a client that did basically nothing but add a whole new layer of possible problems for playing a match.
The anti-cheat client hasn't caught a single ESEA player for any kind of cheating in years, the only ones I know of being manual bans and very likely retard CSGO players leaving the client open and cheating in pubs, considering the handful of players that got a "TF2" detection all had 0 seasons of experience in TF2 but had experience in CS or at least CS pugs. Worst part about it if you search really hard you can find evidence of cheat bans for CSS using a lot of the same kind of exploits currently being used in ESEA TF2 (seriously right down to the exact same file and equivalent install location).
Not to mention the massive amount of Bad PR ESEA has gotten over the years from a shitty owner and the whole bitcoin fiasco. Potential Players who heard about that had even less reason to try it, even if it's several years later.
That being said fuck Valve for shit support and shit MM next to no one wants to try competitive in a game were ELO based MM isn't really a thing, isn't balanced at all and hasn't received a balance update in over a year. While offering no money for tournaments like they do in CSGO and Dota and were going to do in Artifact.

Sorry about my pessimism ESEA dropping TF2 just kinda adds fuel to the fire of how disappointed I am with how this game has progressed in the last 8 years I've been around.

But let's be cautious with hating on Valve, let's make sure we're hating the situation and not the devs themselves. Or, hate the higher level bosses/company culture etc, but remember the devs like Jill have wanted to do so much more, but just.. couldn't; no manpower, no help. There are indeed good people at Valve who did nothing wrong, and are as frustrated as many of us.

Really unfortunate to happen at this moment to because I honestly feel like the community was picking up some internal momentum. A new map got added recently with many more potential ones looking good, the prize pool system was redistributed and all the community casts/ invite happenings videos have been nice to watch.
The good thing is that all of that was community driven, I just hope people still have a drive for doing it with whatever comes next.

This is far from the end of competitive TF2. My guess is an ESL or a ETF2L NA division. Either way, ESEA TF2 lasted for 10 years and that is quite the achievement.
