for fun factor sure, but vetos is an objectively more competitive system by far. TF2 is one of the only map based games to have used a forced map rotation for a reason.

Progress is an ESEA meme from when lpkane said progress on basically every single post he did for ESEA.

not even sure what got him to start doing that but it's on damn near every esea post of his in late 2010 until he stopped.

They could literally revert that change and a lot of those same people would say "progress", they could make a post saying Bitcoin mining re-added to client at least a couple people will say "progress".

A map veto system only works in playoffs / pro level teams. Open/IM teams get NOTHING from a map veto system other than awkward scrim schedules and teams baiting scrims based on map choice or showing up late arguing over which map gets played cause teams have matches. To some extent that happened when teams rescheduled matches but now it's literally every scrim unless both teams happened to pick the same map or play the same 2-3 maps over and over.

Matter of fact by ESEAs own admission they're mimicking ESL Pro but for all divisions. That right there should be a clue for you that literally no other League for a team based FPS used a Map Veto system outside of Professional level teams for regular season matches.

Now the reason the map veto system actually works for playoffs / pro level and NOT Open/IM level teams is due to the fact a lot of those Open and IM teams either have barely any experience (as a team) thus they have poor understanding on how they play a specific map together and what to work on. Playoffs this can work cause the team has already played a regular season toghether and can look back and choose to focus on specific maps for review since they know where they did poorly and where if they improved they may upset a team on a specific map OR if they were already a top team guarantee they won't lose a couple specific ones. Pro teams already have the advantage of having played together or at minimum have played at the highest level they can quickly determine what maps they need to focus on.

Another thing to keep in mind is that a lot of playoff / Pro level map voting systems assume Bo3 which makes perfect sense since both teams can pick 1 map and the 3rd tie break map is the left over. The current Bo1 veto system means teams always have to play a "leftover" map and not really knowing what to practice until just 2-3 days before a match...

Imagine being upset at a videogame when you (as in us) blatantly threw it away. Nobody on my team should be mad, just disappointed. But classy insult!
